COVID-19 UPDATES:

For the latest news and procedures regarding the College's Covid protocols please visit:  https://www.ccny.cuny.edu/vp-operations/blog/covid-19 

In an effort to both properly and safely manage our campus and surrounding community, we are requiring that all parties formally request access to campus prior to arrival.  Anyone looking to access the CCNY campus during this time will need to follow the appropriate request and approval procedures.  We will continue to keep you updated as these procedures roll out.  Additionally, all parties accessing the campus during this time will  need to show ID (Govt. issued or CCNY/CUNY).  ID services are being managed remotely; more information can be found at www.ccny.cuny.edu/safety/id-office. 


The Department of Public Safety takes pride in providing a worry free environment for our many students from diverse backgrounds.  Preserving the safety and well-being of our community is our goal.  Monthly newsletters are broadcasted to keep the college community informed of workshops and events hosted by the department. We do encourage all to attend as we believe that a knowledgeable community will be a safer one.

GET SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE CUNY ALERT MASS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM BY CLICKING HERE  

CUNY Alert is a free emergency notification system that enables the University or the individual Colleges to advise students, faculty and staff of an emergency situation such as police activity or school closings due to severe weather, in a timely fashion to protect lives and minimize campus disruption. Depending upon the severity of the incident, CUNY Alert messages can range from specific instructions to general warnings.  All CCNY Students, Faculty and Staff are automatically enrolled and will receive CCNY Specific CUNYAlerts via their College email accounts.  You can easily customize how you receive alerts (via texts, phone calls, emails, etc.) by logging into your CUNYFirst account then going to your CUNYAlert settings. 

Security starts with you so don't be passive!  You must 
take care of yourself and you must plan for no help being available and for your plans to fail when you need them most. If you are serious about protecting yourself, you must understand that you are the first responder. Police officers, medical personnel, and firefighters must be viewed as second responders. You must be an active participant in your own rescue.

One of the best ways to prepare for all contingencies is by making sure that your CUNYAlert notifications are the best for you!
