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.

If weather conditions make it necessary to cancel classes, a message will be available on the operating status page available at http://newbrunswick.rutgers.edu/about/operating-status; from the Rutgers Information and Referral Center, 732-445-info; by dialing "0" from campus locations; and RU-tv's Rutgers Information Channel, Channel 3. 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 (cable).
