CUNY mandates that all students taking in-person and hybrid classes be “fully vaccinated” Getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself and keep CUNY safe.
For the Fall 2022 semester, most CUNY courses will be in-person. So, students taking in-person or hybrid courses must be “fully vaccinated” when classes begin.
All students registering for a fully in-person or hybrid class for the Fall 2022 semester and thereafter, must be “fully vaccinated” unless they have been granted a religious exception or medical exemption to the vaccine.
Although booster shots are not required for the Fall 2022 semester at this time, we strongly encourage all students to be “up-to-date” on their related booster shots.
All students taking in-person or hybrid classes must upload proof of their status to CUNYfirst so it can be approved by the start of classes.
Students should familiarize themselves with the additional guidelines below:
- If your vaccination documents are already approved in CUNYfirst, you do not need to re-submit them, but they must include appropriate proof.
- All students (except those with approved exemptions or exceptions) must be “fully vaccinated” to enter any CUNY facility.
- The deadline to submit a religious exception or medical exemption for the Fall ’22 semester has passed (July 25, 2022).

We want to remind our diverse CUNY community that we are an institution that takes pride in its welcoming environment and unwavering commitment to the values of equity and inclusion. One unfortunate and unacceptable aspect of the coronavirus pandemic has been a wave of anti-Asian and anti-Asian-American bigotry. References to COVID-19 that connect the virus to racial, ethnic or cultural identity are irresponsible and dangerous. CUNY condemns any response to this global health crisis that leads to mistreatment, bias or disrespect of any kind. These are extraordinarily challenging and anxious times, and we are all in this together. As always, any student who experiences discrimination of any kind can contact their campus Student Affairs Office for support. Likewise, faculty or staff can contact their campus Chief Diversity Officer or Office of Human Resources.
