Dear Faculty and Staff,
This is a reminder that we are still taking precautions when it comes to minimizing the spread of COVID-19. One of the ways that we can accomplish this is through hybrid meetings, as called for in our COVID Safety Plan. Please hold all of your meetings using remote meeting technology so that those who are concerned about being in a crowded space or that are working remotely due to their schedule or accommodation can attend. Please keep in mind that some meetings, such as Faculty Senate, fall under the Open Meetings Act and attendance in person is vital… Read More »

Dear Faculty and Staff,
CUNY-Wide Enforcement of Information Security Policies and Procedures
Background
Recent incidents at a couple of our sister campuses resulted in Ransomware attacks and the possibility that CUNY would have to pay the ransom in order to have access to our information fully restored. Here at City College, we are in the process of mitigating our risks so that we can better protect our environment and the digital assets that we are responsible for.
Information Security practices at the campus level have been more relaxed than policy requires and that… Read More »

Dear CCNY Community,
Each semester we receive guidance from CUNY on changes to the COVID-19 Safety Plan. For Spring '23, there is only one area of change to our plan.

Visitors may enter our campus by showing an official Identification Card and signing in with the security guard at the entrances to our buildings. Our plan on the website has been updated to reflect this change and can be… Read More »

Dear CCNY Faculty and Staff,
CUNY has made the decision to move all email from the local campuses to the Cloud-based system, Microsoft 365 (M365). In this migration, the important thing to note is that your email address will not change. It will still be in the @ccny.cuny.edu domain. This migration is supposed to take place at the end of this semester, so as to cause less disruption. This is just the first of several emails to come as we prepare our campus for this migration. I am writing to you now because CUNY just released a training schedule that has several classes on… Read More »

Dear CCNY Campus Community,
The CCNY Shuttle Bus service will be limited for an undetermined period of time due to mechanical issues. Our current operating fleet consists of only vans which hold much fewer passengers. The fleet was serviced prior to the start of semester but the buses are old and are often in need of repair. The College did order new buses several months ago but due to supply chain issues and shortages, they did not arrive in time for this semester. The current estimated delivery timeframe is in January.
I bring this to your attention so that you can plan… Read More »
