Face Mask Policy
Effective March 7, 2022
Face masks are no longer required on campus.
Due to the low levels of COVID-19 in New York City, the CDC no longer recommends–and New York State no longer has–a universal indoor mask mandate. CUNY has therefore lifted its temporary mask mandate.
Anyone who would like to continue wearing masks in any setting is welcome to do so at any time. Masks will continue to be available on campus and offices.
While the CDC is not requiring people to wear a mask in communities that have low or medium COVID-19 levels, faculty, staff and students who are still not vaccinated, or those who have been or will be granted a medical exemption or religious exception, are urged to continue to wear a mask. Mask requirements associated with isolation and quarantine as referenced later in these guidelines remain in effect.
Individuals cleared to return to campus after a shortened isolation period are recommended to wear a well-fitted mask while on campus. A well-fitted mask should also be worn for 10 days from the date of last close contact with someone with COVID-19.
