Inclement Weather

How you’ll know the status of the University:

  • In the rare cases when we determine it is necessary to cancel or delay classes, or to close business operations at the University, the community will be notified as quickly as possible.
  • When storms occur overnight, we will endeavor to make this notification by 5 a.m. Sometimes conditions change rapidly, however, and we may need to adjust decisions about class schedules and business operations on short notice.
  • UConn’s Alert webpage (http://alert.uconn.edu) is the definitive source of information about the University’s operating status and should be your primary source.
  • UConn community members at all locations, excluding UConn Health, are encouraged to also check the University’s 24-hour emergency closing information number: 860-486-3768.
  • While the University makes every effort to notify the news media about operating changes at UConn’s campuses, we cannot guarantee that details provided by news outlets represent the most current or complete information.

If the University is closed, the conference will be rescheduled.  You will receive notification of the new date and time upon the re-opening of the University.
