Montclair State University issued the following announcement on March 20

In response to COVID-19, the University has been taking steps to reduce risk, including extending Spring Break, moving most courses online, canceling University-related travel to locations where the risk of infection is greater, and asking those who have been exposed to the disease or traveled to higher-risk countries to quarantine themselves for 14 days before returning to campus.

We ask that students, faculty and staff help us reduce the risk by practicing proper handwashing and staying home when they don’t feel well. Meanwhile, the University is also using other “social distancing” strategies, such as using videoconferencing for meetings and rescheduling or canceling events.

The following list of event cancellations is being updated daily. Please check this page frequently. This information is accurate as of March 20, 2020. Contact Mary Barr Mann with any additional cancellations.
