Notice of Office Closings and Class Cancellations

  • University Operating Status Page: This web site will include information on office closings, class cancellations, bus schedules, parking lot availability, and dining hall and recreation/student center hours. Rutgers' main website, rutgers.edu, will maintain links to the University Operating Status Page. This page will maintain a link to the Newark and Camden campuses home pages.
  • 732-932-info: RU.info includes a 24-hour voice mail announcement system. Please note that this replaces University Relations' emergency telephone line (732-932-7799).
  • RU.info Channel: Channel 3 on the New Brunswick/Piscataway campus, or available online at rutv.rutgers.edu/infochannel.html.
