Office of Human Resources
Effective November 17, 2021, CUNY implemented a random testing program for vaccinated employees. Fully vaccinated employees with approved vaccination information in CUNYfirst will be randomly selected to participate in the COVID-19 testing program. Being tested when you are notified is not optional and is necessary in order to obtain campus-wide results each week and thus help keep everyone safe.
In any given week, selected individuals will receive an email from no-reply@cleared4.org with the subject line "Message from City University of New York (CUNY)". This email includes instructions to complete their registration via a personalized link and will have to test at a CUNY test site within 7 days (no appointment necessary). CUNY test centers will be closed over Thanksgiving weekend. For your convenience, the list of CUNY-approved testing sites is available here. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT TEST RESULTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED FROM A NON-CUNY TESTING SITE.
Test results will be available within 48 hours and employees will maintain their Access Pass to CUNY facilities while the results are pending. If the COVID-19 test result comes back positive, the Access Pass will be removed and the employee will be contacted by a Coronavirus Task Force Liaison for guidance. If an employee does not show up to be tested within the required 7-day period, they will be contacted by a campus or program representative on the next steps.
