Dear CCNY Community, The University has moved from the Everbridge application’s VaxPass, for proof of vaccination, to a system called Cleared4.  The Cleared4 system has been in use since the beginning of the semester for those unvaccinated individuals in order to schedule testing and to show evidence of a negative COVID test.  The Cleared4 application will now handle both testing and vaccination status for the University and Everbridge will be retired. When you receive an email from Cleared4, it is legitimate and you should follow the instructions for registration.… Read More »

Dear CCNY Faculty and Staff, As many of you prepare to come back to campus this upcoming week, I thought I would update you on our safety policies and procedures. MASK MANDATE Starting August 16th, CUNY has implemented an indoor mask mandate for all persons, vaccinated or unvaccinated.  There is one condition where you do not have to wear a mask, as outlined in the Chancellor’s memo but in all other situations, a mask is required.  The exception is as follows: “The only exception to wearing a mask inside is if a fully vaccinated person is in a classroom, dorm room,… Read More »


Dear Faculty and Staff, I hope you all have enjoyed your summer!  As we are only a short time away from returning to campus, I am writing you to discuss CIVD-related signage that you may want for your specific areas.  It is important that we keep a uniform and consistent message to make sure our community is appropriately informed and doesn’t receive conflicting messages.  All COVID-related signage should be submitted to me ( kihrer@ccny.cuny.edu ) for review and I will pass it to Communications and Marketing for final design.  Once the sign is ready, it… Read More »


Dear Campus Community, Our new Fall Reopening Plan has been finalized and is available to you by going to the main campus website. Based on the new reopening plan, there are several changes going forward that you should be made aware of. First, access to campus no longer requires special approval, starting today.

Dear Campus Community, The campus will reopen buildings and operations on 12/18/2020, just as they were prior to the snowstorm.

Please be careful in your travels to and from campus as the sidewalks and streets remain slippery as temperatures continue to stay below freezing. Facilities will continue to salt and work on slippery spots across campus… Read More »


Dear CCNY Community, For those of you who receive CUNY Alerts, the first one may have led you to believe that tomorrow is a snow day and only essential staff would need to work.
