Student Guidelines

For the Spring 2023 term, the majority of CUNY courses are in-person. CUNY mandates that students taking in-person and/or hybrid classes must have up-to-date vaccination status when classes begin. Further, all students taking in-person or hybrid classes must upload proof of that status to CUNYfirst at least ten (10) days before classes begin.
