Fall 2021 Safety Checklist

Vaccinated Students

Upload your vaccination verification documents to CUNYfirst ASAP. You will not be allowed on campus until you upload proof of vaccination and the documents are verified, OR you test negative through CUNY’s new COVID-19 testing program.

Wait to be approved. Your Campus Vaccine Authority Liaison will review your vaccination documents and approve them. You should upload your documents far in advance of the first day you have to be on campus to ensure there is enough time for the review.

Set up Everbridge VaxPass. Once your vaccination documents are verified in CUNYfirst, you can use VaxPass to easily enter all CUNY facilities. Read here for installation instructions.

Wear a mask inside all CUNY campuses and buildings, including while in class. And if you are outdoors on campus, you can remove your mask only while socially distancing from others. With COVID-19 cases on the rise because of the Delta variant, we must all #MaskUpCUNY for now.

Encourage your not-yet vaccinated friends to #VaxUpCUNY. With full FDA approval of a COVID-19 vaccine announced on 8/23/21, unvaccinated students will now have until 9/27/21 to upload their documents to CUNYfirst.

Not Yet Vaccinated Students

Get vaccinated. The science continues to show us that vaccinated people are far more protected from COVID-19 than unvaccinated people.

Register for the CUNY COVID-19 testing program. To visit any CUNY campus or building, you must show proof of a negative COVID-19 test taken at one of 20 CUNY testing sites in the past 7 days. To register for the testing program, follow the instructions emailed to you from “Cleared4.org,” the online system you will use to schedule an appointment for and get test results. Check your inbox and SPAM to make sure you received the registration email. All other testing information can be found in this FAQ.

Track final safety deadlines below following the full FDA approval of a vaccine on 8/23/21. Unvaccinated students now have until 9/27/21 to upload their vaccination documentation to CUNYfirst (so their documents can be checked and approved by 10/7/21 or 45 days after full FDA approval). Students taking in-person or hybrid classes who fail to follow the vaccine mandate per CUNY policy will be subject to potential academic withdrawal that could also impact their financial aid and might not be eligible for refunds for the course.

Wear a mask and social distance inside and outdoors at all times. This includes while in class and walking outside on campus
