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.

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.

Access to campus may only be gained by displaying the "blue" Cleared4 pass. Excelsior Pass and CCNY V-22 Stickers will no longer be accepted. Access to campus will only be provided to those with a Cleared4 "blue pass". Please send an email to
covidtesting@ccny.cuny.edu
for assistance obtaining your Cleared4 "blue pass". Please refer to the most recent memo for additional guidance.
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
