Dear CCNY Community,
We will be exercising a demand response action this evening between 7:00PM and 11:00PM. In order to comply with contractual obligations, we will be de-energizing all escalators and turning off lights in unoccupied areas.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,

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. Second, our Everbridge Health Screening process will end as soon as we have a testing and vaccination verification solution in place. Third, masks will now become optional for those who have been fully vaccinated. If you are unvaccinated, you are still required to wear… Read More »
The City College of New York experienced an outside-related event that took out our connection between our telephone carrier and our internal phone system. In order to restore service quickly, we put in a temporary measure that provides us with a limited number of lines (each incoming and outgoing call takes up a line). If you are trying to contact the College and receive a fast busy signal, this means all lines are engaged. You can either wait and try calling again or alternatively, you can send an email to the person or department you are trying to contact… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is working to fully restore CCNY’s telephone service. Working with Verizon we have implemented a workaround solution that has partially restored service to a great portion of the campus. At the moment, most college phone numbers (212) 650-xxxx are currently operational. However, this temporary fix will allow us to operate at a lesser capacity. Given the reduced occupancy on campus, we believe it will allow near-normal service. If you call a campus extension and receive a busy signal, we recommend waiting and then… Read More »
Dear CCNY Community,
Power has been restored to the NAC but is still out in Harris Hall. However, It appears that the damage to the NAC ConEd/Verizon switch room will cause a phone service disruption for multiple days. Visit our website for updates.
In the meantime, we are establishing an alternate way for people to contact the College during this time. Please note that this setup is not ideal and that not all areas of the college will be represented. Please use email where you can.
To reach the following offices/departments:
Main Campus – 917-471-… Read More »

CCNY Community.
This morning we had a series of events, starting with a manhole explosion across from the NAC. This caused a transformer to pop inside the NAC and a fire to breakout in the ConEd/Verizon switch room, on the first floor.

The phone system is down.
Power to the NAC is out.
Power to Harris is out.
We have switched email over to the data center on south campus Email should continue to work as it normally does. If you need to reach a department or division, please use email, as the phone system is not… Read More »
