Dear CCNY Students and Colleagues,
As you may be aware, there was a small earthquake in the New York City metropolitan area. Public Safety and Facility teams conducted checks of the buildings and grounds and did not observe any damage or issues. The campus will remain open and we will continue to monitor the situation.
Please call Public Safety at 212-650-7777 if you need any assistance.

Chief Operating Officer
Due to the expected inclement weather tomorrow, CCNY as well as all CUNY schools will operate on a fully remote schedule tomorrow, February 13, 2024. For teams who are required to report to work, please ensure you are in touch with your department managers for information on schedules for tonight and tomorrow.
Regards,

Chief Operating Officer
To all Faculty & Staff
The CCNY facilities team makes every effort to moderate the heating and cooling throughout the year across 18 buildings and thousands of rooms. An extensive cutover process occurs twice a year (Fall and Spring). The shoulder months of September/October and April/May are always an extra challenge as temperatures may have significant swings. The team looks at the weather forecast and identifies a window that causes the least amount of disruption. This season, the college electricians are plagued by numerous electrical outages created by unsafe electrical… Read More »
Due to heavy rain and flooding, the City College of New York's main Public Safety telephone number (212) 650-6911 is not working. Verizon and the CCNY Telecommunications Department are working on a solution.
For emergencies please use Public Safety's secondary line (212) 650-6626 which is working as is our emergency number (212) 650-7777. We will update once our main line is operational.
Dear CCNY Faculty, Staff and Students,
As you know, in response to today’s significant and ongoing rainfall, both Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams have issued a State of Emergency in New York City and surrounding areas. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning throughout the New York City area through Friday night.
We are aware of the current conditions and are monitoring them closely. In the meantime, please take note of the following:
There are currently no plans to close CCNY or other CUNY facilities early. However, employees should be advised to… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
This is just a reminder that while COVID is no longer considered a pandemic, it is still very much active and can still have serious ramifications for your health and well-being. If you test positive for COVID, please stay home. If you feel well enough to work remotely during your illness, check with your supervisor about working from home. If you are a student, please let your professors know and see if they will work with you to provide you with any missed assignments and/or lecture materials.
For those of you who have been exposed to COVID through close… Read More »
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… 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.
Starting February 1st, 2023, visitors to CUNY campuses, including CCNY, are no longer required to show proof of vaccination, register with Cleared4 or show a negative COVID-19 test result. 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… 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… Read More »
