The West Haven area has received a significant snowfall with 16 inches of snow already on the ground. Due to this and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place: All in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Tuesday, February 24, 2026 will transition to being held online or remotely..
Campus operations for residential students will be modified based on expected conditions. Separate messages will be sent from various offices and departments regarding changes to normal hours of operation. Current students, faculty, and staff can find the latest information about operations on myCharger (login required).
Only essential employees, as previously determined by their respective department leaders, should report to campus. All other employees should fulfill the requirements of their role remotely.
Residential students should be prepared to move their vehicles, if requested, for snow removal operations. If you are parked on a public street in West Haven, please move your vehicle off-street as a snow parking ban has been issued prohibiting vehicles from parking on all public streets. A list of off-street parking lots can be found on the City of West Haven’s website.

In a message to the University community, President Kaplan addressed the horrific tragedies that recently took place in Buffalo and Southern California.
May 19, 2022
Dear Members of the University Community,
Words alone cannot express the true extent of our grief and frustration over the horrific tragedies that recently took place in Buffalo and Southern California.
These senseless acts, steeped in ignorance, are both devastating and infuriating. As a University community, we stand united in condemning all acts of bigotry and bias.
Events as unspeakable as those which unfolded this past weekend force us to consider with even greater intentionality the role we can each play – as a member of our community and as individuals – in eradicating hatred and racism. This is not an external charge; it is our innate responsibility as compassionate and educated individuals trying each and every day to do better.
At the University of New Haven, we will continue to ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging are central to all we do. We will engage in difficult conversations and work together to cultivate and reflect values that unite.
As an institution of higher education working to shape the world’s next generation of leaders, we must be a beacon of hope. In moments when we are tested, what continues to give me optimism is the commitment our students have for public service and for fighting on behalf of causes far greater than any one individual.
Let us come together to share in the pain of those affected by recent events while also honoring our shared responsibility to effect change.
With best wishes,
Steven H Kaplan, Ph.D.
President
