Rutgers continues to monitor the situation. We are working with our travel vendor partners to provide the best information for you to make decisions about upcoming trips.

Because of the unpredictability of the situation, we strongly urge our guests to purchase travel insurance. If you elect to protect your travel purchases in this way, please be sure to acquire the level of coverage that is right for you.
