In-Person Meetings for Classes on Monday, January 26, 2026 are Cancelled; Online/remote classes to be held as determined by Faculty.

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.

Enhanced Learning Communities

Making the Necessary Connections!
Live and learn in Community.

The Enhanced Living Learning Communities (ELCs) are residential programs that incorporate academically-based themes and build community through shared learning and intentional student engagement. Incoming first-year students joining these communities will be intentionally grouped in a residence hall, have shared academic experiences, and participate in co-curricular learning activities with their peers. Students will also have an opportunity to explore their intellectual curiosity, establish a supportive network with faculty and staff across campus. Finally, students will have the opportunity to explore and cultivate the skills needed to succeed within the various majors.

How to Apply

Admittance into the Enhanced Learning Communities at the University of New Haven is limited, and interested students may select their ELC of choice on their housing application.

Students will be notified of their acceptance into the program on a rolling basis.

ELC Benefits
Each ELC has its own unique focus, however, all communities offer a consistent level of intentional opportunities related to students’ majors or interests. By joining an ELC, each first-year student can experience the following:
- Peer to peer interactions related to your academic journey
- Enjoy co-curricular opportunities that enhance your academic experience (field trips, service-learning projects, and other fun activities)
- Live with roommates who have the same major
- Participate in academic advising with faculty advisor in the residence halls
- Participate in specialized study groups
- Intentional connections with our most dynamic faculty, staff, and peer educators
- Live in a community where you feel connected, welcomed, valued, and included!
Student Experiences

Having the GLBTQ+ and Allies LLC as an option for firstyear housing was really relieving. Starting college is already overwhelming in and of itself, and trying to find a complete stranger you might feel safe living with adds on a whole other level of stress. This LLC took a lot of that weight off my shoulders because I knew the people I lived with all shared common ground with each other. It was easier to talk to everyone and make friends. We also had an amazing RA that made the LLC feel more like a family than a group of stressed college students. It’s how I met a lot of my friends during my first year here.”

- Quinn Going

I like the LLC because a large portion of the forensic science majors are grouped together on one floor. Since we're all together, it's easy to form study groups, considering many of us are in the same classes. I also enjoy the monthly activities put on by the faculty as well as the fact that we get to form a connection with professors that transcends both the teacher/student and adviser/student relationships.

- Rob Harvey

The LLC is an amazing tool that I have enjoyed using. I feel that everyone in the LLC has made a bond, kind of like a family. Each of us is willing to help one another if we can. We help each other study a lot because we all understand the course load.
