Cancellation of Classes

It is the general policy of the university not to cancel classes because of inclement weather. However, because of the occasional hazards of night driving in the winter, exceptions may be made for evening classes and, under exceptionally hazardous conditions, exceptions may be made for daytime classes. Any student assignments that can be submitted electronically are still due during such closures. Other arrangements for makeup work are announced by individual instructors.

If weather or other emergency conditions make it necessary to cancel classes, a message will be available from RU-info, 732-445-info (4636); by dialing "0" from campus locations; RU-tv's Rutgers Information Channel, Channel 3; and the operating status page available on Rutgers' universitywide webpage http://www.rutgers.edu/status. Rutgers University-New Brunswick operating status can also be found at https://newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/status. Announcements will also be made over the following radio stations: WRNJ (1510 AM), WCTC (1450 AM)/WMGQ (98.3 FM), WCBS (880 AM), WINS (1010 AM), WKXW (101.5 FM)/WBUD (1260 AM), WRSU (88.7 FM), and NEWS12 New Jersey (cable).

Rutgers University abides by all emergency orders issued by the Governor of the State of New Jersey and may modify the above policies, to the benefit of students, during such emergencies.
