Please review the recent update related to classroom and study space access and status across campus.
As a reminder, CCNY has launched student and faculty COVID Classroom Exposure Procedures. Learn more.
To address the shortage of testing options and the long lines we are seeing throughout the city, we are pleased to have worked out an agreement with our testing provider, Applied DNA, to expand our current services so we can also offer free PCR testing at CUNY testing sites beginning on Tuesday, December 28. From that day on, any CUNY student or employee who needs to be tested for any reason will be able to walk into a site, show their CUNY ID, register in the system, and get tested. Results will be available as usual within 24 to 48 hours.
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.
