Dear Campus Community
As of Monday, 12/6/21, we will be discontinuing the use of the V-22 sticker and the Excelsior Pass for campus access (please see my memo on Random COVID Testing). This means you will need to know how to access your Cleared4 pass. It is best that you practice this before you come to campus. Please remember that each person has a "personal" link to Cleared4. This is why we cannot send you generic instructions on how to access your pass. If you do not know your link or cannot locate it, please send an email to

Effective November 17, 2021, CUNY implemented a random testing program for vaccinated employees.

Being tested when you are notified is not optional and is necessary in order to obtain campus-wide results each week and thus help keep everyone safe.
In any given week, selected individuals will receive an email from
no-reply@cleared4.org
with subject line “Message from City University of New York (CUNY)”.… Read More »
