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, 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.
Announcements concerning campus status will be made via text messages (students must
sign up for those individually), email, and listed on the main Rutgers University website.
Additionally, information will be available through RU-tv's Channel 3; the campus operating status pages www.newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/status or http://www.newark.rutgers.edu/weather-and-campus-operating-status; from RU-info, 732-445-info; and on the recorded message system at
732-932-7799 for the Rutgers University-New Brunswick, and at 973-353-1766 for Rutgers University-Newark.
Arrangements for makeup work are announced by individual instructors.
