Classes moved remote for a second day after 16 inches of snow

As we continue to monitor winter storm conditions, we are writing with an update on campus operations. Blizzard conditions are expected to continue for the next few hours. Snow removal efforts are affecting travel and parking in many parts of New Haven and across campus. As an academic and residential campus, Yale must maintain critical operations. Our emergency planning and operations teams continue to work closely with departments to support these functions while prioritizing the safety of our community. Some university operations must be conducted in person. Other operations and services may be performed from home when necessary. We encourage managers to reach out to their teams and allow those who can complete their work remotely to continue to do so. For tomorrow, Tuesday, February 24, we encourage classes that can be held remotely to move to an online format. We recognize that some labs and courses require an in-person format. We ask that faculty communicate directly with their students about the status of their courses. Please note that parking availability remains limited, as several Yale lots are being used by the City of New Haven for snow operations. Those who must come to campus should allow extra time and plan accordingly. We will continue to evaluate conditions and will provide updates if circumstances change. Please monitor the Yale Status Board https://statusboard.apps.yale.edu/ for the latest information.We are grateful to the faculty and staff whose dedication and flexibility help keep the university operating safely during weather events.
