Spring 2023
For the Spring 2023 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 Spring 2023 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 Spring 2023 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 Spring 2023 semester is December 16, 2022.
- Deadline to upload proof of COVID-19 vaccination documents to CUNYfirst is January 15, 2023.
- Students are dropped for COVID-19 Vaccination non-compliance with initial series of vaccination shots (e.g. two doses of Moderna or Pfizer, one dose of Johnson & Johnson, or equivalent) between January, 16, 2023–January 24, 2023.
