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.

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 »
