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.

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 vaccine mandate is… 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 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.

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 2022. Last… Read More »
