Closing and Cancellations
Status for December 23, 2024
Normal operations
In the event of non-weather related emergencies, refer to the UConnALERT page.
Otherwise, the latest closing and cancellation information due to weather-related emergencies will be posted on this page to be accessible for both patients and employees.
Due to the nature of UConn Health's operations, official notifications of emergency closures will be made and communicated ONLY by UConn Health. In the past, there has been confusion regarding the applicability of various closing announcements issued by the governor’s office, other state agencies, the main campus in Storrs, or the regional campuses.
Note, most radio and television stations in Connecticut use automated systems to announce closing information. These systems restrict the scope and description of the information conveyed, which may not adequately address the specific needs of UConn Health. Therefore, UConn Health does not notify radio or television stations of changes in our operational status.
For Employees
In addition to this page, the latest information is also shared via some or all of the following channels:
- Operational Status Hotline: 860-679-2001 (Note: If there's a power outage, call the back-up number at 860-486-9292).
- UConn Health Advisory emails.
- UConnALERT defaults to sending notifications to your work email. We strongly recommended registering your personal cell phone number to ensure you receive these time-sensitive communications promptly. You must opt in to receive UConnALERT notifications via text message (and any other preferred methods of reaching you, such as personal email or home phone) at alert.uconn.edu/get-alerts.
