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… Read More »

Dear CCNY Community, As many of you are aware, CUNY has lifted the temporary mask mandate for all campuses. What does this mean for us? It means that you can now go throughout campus, both indoors and outdoors, without wearing a mask if you so choose. Those who are unvaccinated are still encouraged to wear a mask. I realize that for some of you, this is a concern and one that you are not comfortable with. For those of you who are concerned, the best way to make sure you have enhanced protection under these circumstances—apart from making sure your vaccination is up to date-- is… Read More »

Dear CCNY Community, As you may have heard, Governor Hochul lifted the mask mandate for New York State.  However, this change in policy does not impact CUNY as of this memo.  CUNY is still enforcing a mask mandate while in CUNY buildings.  Please make sure you are wearing your masks properly while on campus to protect yourself and others. Please note that CCNY has purchased KN95 masks, which are available to you at the security guard stations.  If you need a mask or want a higher quality mask, please ask a security guard for a KN95. If CUNY changes its… Read More »
