For international travel, a completed and signed Petition to Travel form, a screenshot of vaccination in CUNYfirst (or RF portal), and a Release form are required and should be sent to Teresa Scala at

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 »
Clarification: New Deadline for Faculty, Non-Teaching Instructional Staff and ECPs to Upload Proof of Vaccination
Dear CUNY employee,
The below clarifies an email you received yesterday that had incorrect information. We thank Professional Staff Congress President James Davis for bringing the matter to our attention.
As I recently shared, the CUNY Board of Trustees voted on January 31 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.
To comply with the Board’s mandate, all full- and part-time faculty, non-teaching instructional staff (… 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 CUNY employee,
As I recently shared, the CUNY Board of Trustees voted on January 31 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.
To comply with the Board’s mandate, all non-teaching instructional staff (which includes, among others, NTAs, CLTs and those in the HEO series) and ECPs are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and to upload proof of vaccination into CUNYFirst by no later than April 1, 2022. At this… Read More »
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 »
