Closing and Cancellations

Status for February 16, 2025

Normal operations

Parking Ban Saturday 6a to Monday 6a

To allow for snow removal and ice treatments to be applied to the surface parking areas, the following parking ban will be in effect from 6 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, through 6 a.m. Monday, Feb. 17.

Please plan to allow for extra travel time, and drive safely and slowly.

  • All staff, students, and contractors arriving on the main campus during this time period are required to park in the covered levels of Garages 1, 2 or 3, and must not park in the surface parking lots, along the roadways, or at the loading docks. If you arrive prior to the parking ban, although you are not required to, it is appreciated if you are able to safely move your vehicle into one of the garages.
  • The rooftop of Garage 2 will be open for patients and emergency vehicles only.
  • The rooftops of Garage 1 and Garage 3 will be closed.
  • Reminder, it is never permissible for employees to park in patient lots when here for work or academic purposes.
  • If Garage 2 and/or Garage 3 are full, do not create a space or park in unmarked areas. There will be spaces available in Garage 1.
  • All staff, students and contractors arriving on campus after the ban has been lifted must use their normal parking areas.

Vehicles in violation of these regulations will be subject to citations, towing or immobilization at the owner’s expense.

Thank you and stay safe!

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.
