Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,

As a follow-up to the email sent by Executive Vice President Arbuthnot, I am writing to share that, due to the Canvas outage, all Rutgers University–New Brunswick final exams scheduled for Friday, May 8, 2026, have been postponed. More details, including information about the rescheduling of these exams, will be sent out tomorrow (Friday) in the late morning or early afternoon. For now, please plan for all other exams to occur as scheduled.

I recognize the anxiety and uncertainty caused by this disruption, and I appreciate your understanding as we adapt to these unexpected circumstances.

Sincerely,

Jason Geary, Ph.D.
Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
