All Rowan University campuses will be open and operate normally on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
Faculty have the discretion to hold in-person classes virtually using videoconferencing (Zoom or WebEx), instructional tools in Canvas and other means for maintaining instructional continuity as appropriate. Resources for faculty are available on the Faculty Center’s Instructional Continuity Plan webpage.
Given travel conditions across different localities, it is important for faculty to note that it is the student's decision, based on their assessment of the situation, whether to attend class in-person. Students will not be penalized for missing classes because of inclement weather/driving conditions, but they must contact their professors prior to class and make up any work assigned.
Employees who may feel uneasy about driving conditions must notify their supervisor and make reasonable arrangements about any existing work assignments. Reasonable arrangements may include having the employee work remotely, if remote work is an appropriate and feasible option for the employee. If remote work is not possible for the employee, the employee and the supervisor may agree that the employee can use accrued vacation time, comp time, administrative leave or floating holiday to cover the employee’s time for the day.
Sidewalks, roadways and parking lots will continue to be cleared and/or treated as needed. We encourage the prompt reporting of weather-related hazardous conditions and impediments on University property. Please call the Rowan University Police Department at 856-256-4922 to report hazardous campus conditions.
