For Fall 2024, Rutgers is planning to have a large majority of course sections in New Brunswick taught in-person. Some course sections will be delivered remotely/online, depending on the specific course and school.
Remote course sections will be delivered either live following a regular class schedule (synchronously) or “by arrangement” (asynchronously)
For information about technology resources available to students, including information about WiFi and cellular access providers are making available during the COVID-19 response, please visit the Technology Resources for Students page, which is available on the Rutgers University’s COVID-19 Information website
