Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes. A student is permitted to make up required exercises and examinations
missed as a result of justified absences when these are authenticated and presented in a timely manner. University regulations permit instructors to include attendance among the factors determining a course grade.
Absence Due to Religious Observance
It
is the policy of the university to excuse without penalty students who are absent because of religious observances and to allow the makeup of
work missed because of such absences. Examinations and special, required, out-of-class activities ordinarily will not be scheduled on those days when such students refrain from participating in secular
activities. Absences for reasons of religious obligation will not be counted for reporting purposes. A student absent from an examination
because of required religious observance will be given an opportunity to make up the examination without penalty.
Cancellation of Classes
It is the general policy of the university not to cancel classes because of inclement weather. However, there are instances where especially adverse and hazardous weather conditions make it impossible to travel and to conduct academic activities at the campus. Students can check https://www.rutgers.edu/status for closings. Arrangements for makeup work are announced by individual instructors.
