Dear CCNY Community,
As cold and flu season is upon us, it can be difficult to know whether you are experiencing flu symptoms or COVID symptoms. In order to help you with this determination, I want to bring your attention to the US Government’s recent announcement of mail-order COVID tests. Starting September 25th, you can now request free test kits by going to COVID.gov - Free at-home COVID-19 tests.
Please remember that if you are sick, please stay home to reduce the spread of your illness. As I stated in my last COVID communication, CUNY and CCNY now… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
This is just a reminder that while COVID is no longer considered a pandemic, it is still very much active and can still have serious ramifications for your health and well-being. If you test positive for COVID, please stay home. If you feel well enough to work remotely during your illness, check with your supervisor about working from home. If you are a student, please let your professors know and see if they will work with you to provide you with any missed assignments and/or lecture materials.
For those of you who have been exposed to COVID through close… Read More »
Dear Campus Community,
Starting on May 24th, 2023, we will no longer use the Cleared4 pass to gain entrance to our buildings. On that date and going forward, you will only need your College ID to enter. Please note that your Cleared4 will no longer work starting on the 24th. There is no reason to contact us as this is what you should expect. If you have the link saved to your phone, it will be safe to remove it on the morning of May 24th.
Sincerely,
Ken Ihrer

Dear CUNY community,
I hope you had a restful spring recess. I'm happy to welcome you back with news of a major milestone in CUNY's three-year battle against COVID-19. In the wake of significant improvements in New York City and State and across the nation, we are ending the emergency vaccination mandate for students, faculty and staff. The change will be effective on the last day of the Spring semester and will allow students to enroll in classes, regardless of their COVID-19 vaccination status, starting with Summer sessions.
Our decision to lift the… Read More »
Dear Faculty and Staff,
This is a reminder that we are still taking precautions when it comes to minimizing the spread of COVID-19. One of the ways that we can accomplish this is through hybrid meetings, as called for in our COVID Safety Plan. Please hold all of your meetings using remote meeting technology so that those who are concerned about being in a crowded space or that are working remotely due to their schedule or accommodation can attend. Please keep in mind that some meetings, such as Faculty Senate, fall under the Open Meetings Act and attendance in… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
Each semester we receive guidance from CUNY on changes to the COVID-19 Safety Plan. For Spring '23, there is only one area of change to our plan.
Starting February 1st, 2023, visitors to CUNY campuses, including CCNY, are no longer required to show proof of vaccination, register with Cleared4 or show a negative COVID-19 test result. Visitors may enter our campus by showing an official Identification Card and signing in with the security guard at the entrances to our buildings. Our plan on the website has been updated to reflect this… Read More »
Beginning February 1, 2023, visitors will no longer be required to use the Cleared4 COVID screening system and will not be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative test. To visit the CCNY campus, a visitor must show a state-issued identification card or some other legal form of identification (such as a passport; driver’s license, etc.) and sign in at the entrance with Public Safety.
For everyone’s safety, visitors should not come to our campus if they believe they have recently been exposed to COVID-19, currently have COVID-19 or they are experiencing symptoms… Read More »
Dear CUNY Community,
In light of the current resurgence of COVID-19 in New York City, I’m writing to remind you of steps we can all take to safeguard our health and that of our community, families and friends.
The New York City Health Department has reported that COVID-19 rates have risen significantly in New York City since Thanksgiving, in conjunction with the increased spread of the flu and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). As a result, the agency’s strong recommendation is to wear masks at all times indoors and in crowded outdoor settings, even if… Read More »
