Rutgers-Newark Business Offices and Neighboring Schools Information
The University's offices may remain open for business even if classes are delayed or cancelled. Also, we will do our utmost to include up-to-date information about the situations at the Rutgers-New Brunswick/Piscataway Campus, and the campuses of Essex County College, NJIT, and UMDNJ-Newark.

Please refrain from calling the Rutgers Police regarding possible weather related delays, cancellations, or closures. During inclement weather conditions, it is vitally important that our campus safety offices and personnel are able to receive emergency calls. Also, please refrain from calling the radio and television stations. They will not give out information over the telephone anyway, and a large volume of calls can tie up their phone lines at critical times too.
