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 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 person is vital… 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.

70% In-Person Employee Density Level Extended to 12/31/22 & Refresher On Some Pertinent COVID Guidelines
August 17, 2022
As specified by the Chancellor in his August 11, 2022 memo, “70% In-person Work”, CUNY will continue to require employees to work a minimum of 70% of their work schedule in-person. The 70% in-person work requirement is only extended until December 31, 2022.
Similar to the guidance provided for the Spring 2022 semester, employees will be expected to work on campus 7 out of 10 days during a two-week work cycle. For example, employees can be required to work in-person 4 days and 1 day remote in one week and in the following week 3 days in-person and 2 days remote.

Dear CUNY Community,
As you are probably aware, New York City’s Covid-19 level is currently high according to the NYC Department of Health’s Alert Level system and the CDC’s Community Level tracking.
Health officials recommend we wear a mask in indoor public settings and people over 65 and those at high risk of severe illness should also wear a mask in crowded outdoor spaces.
As the semester comes to a close and many of you prepare to attend commencements with your loved ones and friends, we urge you to wear a mask in public indoor spaces – for your safety and that of those… Read More »

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.
