Rowan Alters Move-In Schedule for Students

In anticipation of Hurricane Irene hitting New Jersey on Sunday, Rowan University in Glassboro has altered its move-in schedule for students. 

The university has cancelled all move-in activities for Sunday, Aug. 28, school officials announced Thursday.

Rutgers University has also altered . The school's Camden and Newark campuses are not affected by this announcement.

Upperclassmen living in Rowan Boulevard Apartments may move in by appointment on Monday, Aug. 29, or Tuesday, Aug. 30.
 
All other upperclass residents may move in on Monday, Aug. 29.
 
Residents of Rowan Boulevard Apartments and the Whitney Center must register for new appointment times. Previously scheduled appointments are not transferable and will no longer be valid. To register, go to www.rowan.edu/selfservice.
 
Freshman Move-In Day will be held as planned on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Due to the large number of vehicles that will be on campus that day, the university urges all upperclass students to avoid coming to campus on Saturday.
 
“While a change this late is an inconvenience for students and their families, our biggest concern is that they arrive at Rowan safely," said Richard Jones, Rowan's vice president for student life. "Weather services are predicting unusually hazardous conditions in South Jersey on Sunday, and we feel cancelling Move-In Day is in the best interests of the Rowan community."

The university has more than 11,000 full- and part-time students.
