Inclement Weather Guidance

Please ensure that you are signed up for UConn emergency alerts, which is where news regarding closings, delayed openings, and early dismissals (as well as other emergencies) will be posted first. Instructions can be found under the “Get Alerts” section of the UConnALERT page.

• The University will update the community as soon as possible

  • If a storm occurs overnight, the decision will likely be made by 5am

• UConn’s 24-hour emergency closing number is 860-486-3768

NEW for 2024-25: If the University has announced a delay or cancellation of classes, the delay or cancellation pertains only to in-person classes. In the case of online or hybrid modality classes, instructors may choose whether to hold the class as scheduled or cancel. In cases where instructors choose to hold the class, the following conditions must be met:

1. The class is provided in an online format.

2. The class is recorded in a manner that allows students to view it later.

3. Students are given at least 72 hours (starting from when classes are once again held) to view the missed class before any materials from that class are used again in the course.

4. Students are not penalized for not being present synchronously.

Always exercise appropriate judgment and keep safety first
