• Student Vaccination Requirements

    Students taking in-person or hybrid courses must be fully vaccinated. Additionally, students are strongly encouraged to receive vaccine boosters, once eligible for them. Upload proof to CUNYfirst no later than 10 days before classes begin.

    All students (except those with approved exemptions or exceptions) must be fully vaccinated in order to enter any CUNY facility. Medical and religious exemptions must be submitted at least 30 days before the start of classes.

    Students will be able to enroll for in-person/hybrid classes without providing proof of vaccination at the time of enrollment — but will need to be fully vaccinated and their documents approved before the beginning of classes.

    Employee Vaccination Requirements

    All full and part-time faculty and all non-teaching instructional staff (which includes, among others, NTAs, CLTs and those in the HEO series), and personnel in the Executive Compensation Plan must be fully vaccinated in order to remain employed by the University, unless a religious exception, medical exemption or a reasonable accommodation has been granted. At this time, CUNY is defining fully vaccinated as two shots of Moderna or Pfizer, or the single shot of Johnson & Johnson, without booster. This is subject to change.

    Employees needing to request exemptions for religious or medical reasons should contact their College Human Resources Office.

    If you are selected for testing in a given period, you will receive an email from noreply@cleared4.org with instructions:

    • Complete your registration in Cleared4
    • Submit a sample at a CUNY test site within 14 days, no appointment necessary
    • Your test result will be available within 48 hours

    You will retain your Access Pass to CUNY facilities until test results are posted to your profile and standard procedures are followed:

    • If negative, you will retain your Access Pass.
    • If positive, your Access will be removed and you will be contacted by a Coronavirus Task Force Liaison for guidance.

    If you do not submit a sample within the 7-day period, you will be contacted by a campus or program representative on next steps determined by eligibility, on-campus requirements and other information.
