RCNJ Alerts<\/a> Emergency Preparedness<\/a><\/p>\n

Closing Procedure:<\/h3>\n

The College President or their designee will determine whether the campus will be closed or remain open, whether classes will be cancelled or delayed in starting, and when there may be an early closing.<\/p>\n

The College Closings\/Special Announcements hotline will communicate this information at (201) 236-2902 (this information will not routinely be available by calling the College\u2019s automated attendant.) Â鶹¹û¶³ College e-mail account holders will also receive e-mail announcements regarding College closings and the information will be posted on the Â鶹¹û¶³ Web page.<\/p>\n

YOU SHOULD BE GUIDED BY INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE RAMAPO COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION NOT BY STATE OFFICE CLOSINGS ORDERED BY THE GOVERNOR <\/strong><\/p>\n

(Note: Higher Education institutions are routinely exempt from such State closings).<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the College is open, students and faculty are advised to use their best judgment about local road conditions in making a decision about attending classes during inclement weather or unanticipated conditions, as such:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Utilize any allowed absences wisely.<\/li>\n
  2. Students should contact their professor and\/or another student in their class for assignments if they are absent from a class due to a delayed opening or closing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Early Closing (all classes cancelled after an appointed time), and Delayed Opening (morning classes cancelled or shortened) Guidelines:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    When classes are cancelled or delayed, the College will indicate the time when classes will either begin or end.\u00a0 Classes should not meet in person before or after that posted time.\u00a0 Class work may continue via electronic and alternative formats as directed by the faculty member.<\/p>\n

    For updates on campus resources and services outside of class times, please follow the College\u2019s social media accounts.<\/p>\n

    If necessary, due to a series of missed classes, the College may deem an alternative day as a make-up day.<\/p>\n

    A recorded message about a Cancelled Exam Make-up Schedule (if required) will be available on (201) 236-2902.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
