The University's Tiger Transit system will resume limited operations Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Graduate students, faculty and staff are welcome to use Dillon Gym, Firestone Library and Frist Campus Center. Most University services are running on fall recess schedule.
Unless otherwise indicated, all weekend events will be held as scheduled. Some events may have been cancelled, so those who plan to attend or participate in events should check the event listing online or contact the respective event coordinators.
Several key roads that lead to the campus are open, but many roads remain closed. Traffic conditions can be monitored through Google traffic or 511NJ, but please note that these independent sites vary in functionality.
Power to University buildings that are not connected to the University's cogeneration system, including Stanworth Apartments and Butler Apartments, will be restored when the public electricity supply is back up.
Some campus buildings that have been running on power from the University's cogeneration plant may lose power briefly when they are switched back to the public electricity supply.

Because of Hurricane Sandy, the Office of Admission is extending the single-choice early action deadline for all students to Nov. 7. All applications must be submitted online or postmarked by this date unless personal or hurricane-related issues make it difficult or impossible to file the appropriate forms.
This extension also applies to students who are submitting applications through the QuestBridge process. The financial aid deadline for early action remains Nov. 10. For any counselors, teachers or recommenders who may be affected by the hurricane, the Office of Admission will be flexible on the submission of school forms and supporting documents.
