CUNY SPS UPdates
CUNY Vaccination Requirements
All CUNY students enrolled in any in-person or hybrid class must be fully vaccinated, along with a booster shot once eligible. The deadline to receive the booster shot depends on when students become eligible, determined by the date of the last vaccine shot received.Students must submit vaccination documentation. See our instructions for uploading your proof of booster.
Medical and religious exemptions can be requested via Vaccination Verification portal in CUNYFirst. See our instructions on how to apply. Students who would like to visit campus for other reasons can go to the information for students, to learn more about the procedures.
Continue to stay updated on our COVID-19 guidelines by visiting the CUNY website, the Student Vaccination Mandate FAQs, or the School of Professional Studies Student Page.
Vaccination Sites on CUNY Campuses
CUNY currently hosts three City-run vaccination sites on the following CUNY campuses: City College, Lehman College, and Queensborough Community College. While these sites originally provided us with weekly vaccine allotments for faculty and staff, the City has now agreed to expand the allotments at the sites to include CUNY students as well as neighboring CUNY campuses. CUNY is working out the details of this expansion and how best to provide access to students and other campuses.
