All CCNY/CUNY campus visitors, whether accessing indoor or outdoor spaces, must provide proof of vaccination or proof of negative COVID-19 PCR test performed by an accredited lab no more than 7 days prior to the visit. Vaccination proof may be shown through a CDC or an international equivalent vaccination card, the New York Excelsior Pass, NYC COVID Safe or CUNY Cleared-4. Access through a negative test result requires the test result email or printout from the licensed test provider or through NYC COVID Safe.

Dear CCNY Community,
I wanted to let you know about the updated schedule during Spring Break, as it relates to the safeCircle Covid-19 Testing Center at City College. The Testing Center will be closed from Friday, April 15 - 18 and will open back up on Tuesday, April 19 for the duration of Spring Break. If you are working during Spring Break and require testing to be on campus, please make sure you take into account the shortened testing schedule.

Dear CCNY Community,
As many of you are aware, CUNY has lifted the temporary mask mandate for all campuses. What does this mean for us? It means that you can now go throughout campus, both indoors and outdoors, without wearing a mask if you so choose. Those who are unvaccinated are still encouraged to wear a mask.
I realize that for some of you, this is a concern and one that you are not comfortable with. For those of you who are concerned, the best way to make sure you have enhanced protection under these circumstances—apart from making sure your vaccination is up to date-- is… Read More »
Dear CUNY Community,
In response to revised guidance issued by the CDC last week, we are lifting the temporary mask mandate that has been in place since August 2021 and required all CUNY students, faculty, staff, and visitors to wear masks inside University campuses, office buildings, classrooms, and other non-enclosed spaces. This policy change, which takes effect on Monday, March 7, follows recent announcements by Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams that ended mask mandates for pre-K through 12th-grade schools across New York State and City.… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
The Cleared4 Health Check system is not operational this morning for most individuals. Public Safety has been notified and will allow entry to your class or work area. Please only enter the campus if you are vaccinated or have a valid negative COVID test. As soon as the system is restored I will be updating you.
Sincerely,

Dear CCNY Community,
As you may have heard, Governor Hochul lifted the mask mandate for New York State. However, this change in policy does not impact CUNY as of this memo. CUNY is still enforcing a mask mandate while in CUNY buildings. Please make sure you are wearing your masks properly while on campus to protect yourself and others.
Please note that CCNY has purchased KN95 masks, which are available to you at the security guard stations. If you need a mask or want a higher quality mask, please ask a security guard for a KN95.
If CUNY changes its… Read More »
Dear CUNY employee,
As you may know, the CUNY Board of Trustees voted on Monday to authorize a vaccine mandate for faculty, non-teaching instructional staff and employees in the Executive Compensation Plan in compliance with a public policy directive issued by Governor Hochul on December 31. This policy will help to ensure a continued safe return to in-person classes, programs and facilities and further protect our University community.
The policy requires all full- and part-time faculty, all non-teaching instructional staff (which includes, among others, NTAs, CLTs and those… Read More »

Dear CUNY student,
As we look forward to the Spring 2022 semester, which begins this Friday for most CUNY colleges, I wanted to take a moment to remind you that students enrolled in any in-person or hybrid class will be required to get the COVID-19 booster shot when they become eligible. Governor Hochul announced this policy recently knowing that the booster provides additional protection against the virus and its variants and that vaccines are the best weapon we have to contain the spread of COVID-19 and safeguard our health and that of our community.
Here’s how the… Read More »
