Seton Hall University is a residential community that must provide essential services all year round. Essential services support the safety, health and welfare of the Seton Hall community and the academic mission of the University. Essential services include, but are not limited to, personnel associated with the following functions: Dining Services, Housing and Residence Life, Walsh Library, Public Safety, Physical Plant, Housekeeping and Mail Services. When a weather emergency (e.g. snow, flooding and ice storms) creates hazardous travel conditions, the University may announce a delayed opening, an early closing or may close the University except for essential services. During weather emergencies, students, faculty, administrators and staff must use their best judgment to determine whether conditions are safe for their travel to and from the campus.
The Provost is responsible for making the decision regarding partial or complete suspension of classes on the Main Campus, the Law School, and at other off-campus sites, as well as any subsequent delayed opening of University operations. When classes are cancelled due to weather conditions, the University is closed except for essential services. Unless otherwise stated the cancellation of classes includes the Main Campus, the Law School and all other off-campus sites.
Information regarding suspension of classes and/or University operations will be made available through the following methods:
- All full and part-time faculty, administrators, staff and non-resident students at the South Orange campus, Newark Law School or off campus sites may check the Seton Hall Home Page (www.shu.edu) or call 973-761-9000 or listen to the radio stations shown below.
