Mask Mandate Lifted
As specified by Chancellor Matos in his March 4, 2022 communication to the University community, effective March 7, 2022, CUNY has lifted the mask mandate that required all University employees, contractors and visitors to wear masks when inside office buildings, including non-enclosed spaces (i.e.,… Read More »
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,
Ken Ihrer

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 Community,
I hope you were able to enjoy the holiday season with family and friends and, as we look to begin the new year, are cautiously optimistic as I am that 2022 will be a year of positive change.
One of the key areas of focus will be recapturing some of the elements that have made CUNY a beacon of student success and social mobility such as campus support services, higher levels of in-person instruction, and student activities.
State and city leaders have recognized the importance of restoring in-person activities and instruction as we move ahead in… Read More »

Dear Campus Community,
The rise in COVID cases on campus has had an impact on our Public Safety and Facilities staff and we are currently operating under significant shortages. Because of this situation, access to buildings where the number of occupants are low, will be by a phone request to public safety. We have identified the following buildings where access will be by request only: Compton Goethals, Spitzer and Aaron Davis Hall. If you need access to one of these buildings, please call public safety after your arrival at 212-650-7777. After your… Read More »
CUNY has an obligation to protect the health of employees in the workplace. In light of the rapidly changing landscape and rising infection rates among vaccinated and unvaccinated people due to COVID-19, CUNY will continue to follow the guidelines issued by the CDC and OSHA in an effort to stop the spread of the virus to others.
To that end, as previously indicated in the Chancellor’s communication dated August 16, 2021, effective August 16, 2021, everyone at CUNY, regardless of their vaccination status, is required to do the following:
Wear a face mask inside all office… Read More »
