Public Safety is tracking a significant snowfall that will be arriving in our area late Sunday morning (Jan. 25). It will snow heavily throughout the day and evening eventually tapering off Monday (Jan. 26) with 10-14 inches expected statewide. A sleet and freezing rain mix is also possible along the shore. Temperatures will be in the teens and twenties.
Due to this significant winter storm and the extensive campus clean-up operations that will need to take place, all in-person day and evening classes scheduled for Monday, January 26, 2026 have been cancelled. All scheduled in-person classes will transition to being held online or remotely. Additional information on the virtual format for each class will be provided by your instructor.
Faculty have been asked to prepare for Online or Remote sessions in the event of in-person meeting cancellations. These options will be determined by the Faculty member and all questions should be directed to the Faculty teaching each course section. Faculty also have been asked to be very understanding and accommodating of the individual situations of their students who may have difficulty managing these alternative online or remote class meetings on short notice.
Please note that 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.
Campus operations for residential students, unless otherwise noted, will operate as scheduled, though hours may be modified or changed based on the conditions. Separate messages will be sent from the Peterson Library, the Beckerman Recreation Center, and Dining Services regarding any changes to their normal hours of operation. The Bergami Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation will remain open for residential students to use for study space and to participate in online classes.
Off-campus students that live in the City of West Haven should abide by the city’s parking ban during inclement weather to avoid having their vehicle tagged and towed. Please check the City of West Haven’s website for further information on their snow parking ban.

Partnership provides guaranteed admissions to the University of New Haven for graduates of CT State Community College who meet certain academic requirements.
April 10, 2025
University of New Haven and Connecticut State Community College (CT State) leaders gathered today to sign a partnership that will offer guaranteed admissions and merit-based scholarships to graduates of CT State Community College who meet certain academic requirements.
“As a private university with a public mission, we are deeply committed to increasing access to college for deserving students,” said Jens Frederiksen, Ph.D., president of the University of New Haven. “We embrace the responsibility we have to maximize the investment of our students and create transformative outcomes for our graduates. We look forward to helping graduates of CT State as they pursue their goals and dreams.”
“This agreement represents an incredible opportunity for our students to continue their academic journeys with greater ease and support,” said CT State President John Maduko, M.D. “By streamlining the transfer process and providing access to meaningful scholarships, we're opening new doors for our students to pursue their goals and achieve long-term success. We’re proud to partner with University of New Haven in creating pathways that empower students and strengthen our communities."
Graduates of CT State who earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 will be guaranteed by UNewHaven entry into its transfer program and a consistent and smooth transfer of up to 90 credits, provided they satisfy degree requirements.
Merit-based transfer scholarships will be provided, up to $30,000 annually, for CT State graduates who meet certain academic requirements.
CT State students whose ultimate interest is in transferring to the University of New Haven through the new articulation agreement are encouraged to enroll in the UNewHaven/CT State Dual Enrollment program, which enables participants to take one UNewHaven on-campus course per year tuition-free while enrolled as a student at CT State. Students in this dual enrollment program will also receive UNewHaven student IDs and have access to campus events and the university’s Peterson Library.
The University of New Haven is one of just more than 200 colleges and universities in the country, and the only one in Connecticut to earn a spot on Phi Theta Kappa’s 2024 Transfer Honor Roll, which recognizes institutions for creating pathways that lead to success for community college transfer students.
CT State was launched in 2023, following the consolidation of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges. It features campuses and satellite locations in 17 cities and towns across Connecticut.
