Random Testing Program and On-Site Testing
Learn more about CUNY’s COVID-19 Testing Sites.
To help contain the spread of COVID-19 in our community, the testing program includes periodic screening of a random sampling of vaccinated individuals across the University. The frequency of such testing will depend upon the coronavirus positivity rate and the prevalence of variants among other factors.
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.
If you have questions on the program, please contact www.adnas.com/CUNYhelp or your Campus Coronavirus Liaison or Local Vaccine Authority (LVA).
