From Zeco Krcic, Assistant Vice President for Facilities, Planning and Operations:

Dear Queens College Community,

The City University of New York announced today that effective May 23, 2023, it is ending its emergency vaccination mandate for students, faculty, and staff. The decision to lift the vaccine mandate aligns the University with the federal government’s plan to let the Public Health Emergency for COVID-19 expire in May. The change is subject to ratification by the CUNY Board of Trustees at their next meeting.

This decision will allow students to enroll in classes regardless of their vaccination status starting with the summer sessions. Additionally, CUNY will end its testing program and close testing sites on campus by the end of June. The University will simultaneously eliminate the use of the Cleared4 health verification platform, allowing colleges to go back to their standard processes for granting campus access. 

Further details of the announcement can be found in CUNY’s press release.
