Dear Campus Community, Our facilities crew worked through the weekend to clear the snow left by the latest snow storm.  The campus will be open, Monday, February 8th, for on-campus classes and for those approved to work on campus. Please remember, that with all of the snow we have had recently, you should be very careful as you walk around campus.  Our facilities crew will continue monitoring the pathways and will apply salt and provide cleanup whenever slippery spots are identified.  If you see a spot of concern, please let our facilities crew or the nearest… Read More »


Dear Campus Community, Our campus will be open tomorrow, Wednesday 2/3, for those of you who have in-person classes or have responsibilities that require your presence on site. Please make sure you follow COVID safety procedures and remember to take the Everbridge screen prior to arriving. While our facilities crew has done a great job of removing snow and ice, please be extremely careful, as ice can form quickly and isn’t always easy to see. Our crews will continue monitoring the campus and will be salting wherever it is needed. If you see a location of danger, please let the… Read More »


Dear Campus Community, The snow continues to fall with no signs of letting up anytime soon. CUNY has made the decision to close campuses for tomorrow with online classes and support work to continue from home. Please refrain from coming to campus unless your job requires you to come in to support campus safety or facilities. Please stay safe and look for an update from me tomorrow, regarding an updated status. Sincerely, Ken Ihrer Vice President of Operations City College of New York


Dear Campus Community, Our facilities’ team is working diligently to stay on top of the snowstorm but we are expecting continuous snow throughout the remainder of the day and into the evening.

Currently, New York City streets are restricted until 6 AM, 2/2, to essential and emergency travel only.  If you receive a CUNY Alert regarding campus closure, please follow that guidance. If campus conditions are still in poor condition at CCNY… Read More »

Dear Campus Community, The campus will reopen buildings and operations on 12/18/2020, just as they were prior to the snowstorm. Please note that access continues to be restricted due to the pandemic and remains in that state now. If you have the approval to be on campus and are providing an essential service that requires you to be on campus, you may return. 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. That is not the case, as you can see from the second CUNY Alert (below). While our campus buildings are closed, offices should continue to work remotely.  CUNY Alert Message: Due to inclement weather, CUNY colleges and offices will be closed Thursday, Dec. 17, 2020. Essential personnel needs to report to work in consultation with their supervisors. All other remote CUNY personnel will continue to… Read More »

Dear CCNY Community As we continue to persevere through this COVID Pandemic, I thought that I would provide everyone with a gentle reminder of safety protocols here on campus as well as to remind you to take precautions whenever you are out and about. As most of you are probably aware, the number of positive cases are on the rise across the country, as well as here in New York State and New York City. Until a vaccine is widely distributed, our best defense is to wear a mask and exercise proper hygiene. If you are on campus, a mask is mandatory at all times unless you are in an… Read More »
