CUNY Access Pass Available Through Cleared4 System
Everbridge VaxPass is no longer valid at BMCC. For all vaccinated CUNY Students, Faculty and Staff, there is an additional electronic option to validate your vaccination status and facilitate your campus access—CUNY Access Pass. The CUNY Access Pass will have an expiration date of one year from the date you became fully vaccinated. Look for the Cleared4 email from no-reply@cleared4work.com that has been sent to your college email address and follow the link included in the email to complete the registration necessary to obtain your CUNY Access Pass. Please check your spam folder if you do not receive an email from Cleared4.

For additional information please visit  CUNY Access – Cleared4 Guide for Vaccinated CUNY Students, Faculty and Staff  or Cleared4 FAQs available in CUNY IT Help.

Uploading Vaccination Verification
Reminder: All BMCC students, faculty and staff can upload their proof of vaccination through CUNYfirst. Check your approval status in CUNYfirst after 48 hours of submission. If your submission was not approved, please read the reason of rejection carefully and resubmit. Once approved, your BMCC photo ID will be synced with the verification so you can simply swipe your ID on the turnstile (as you did before) when you enter the BMCC campus.

CUNY Students: Deadline to Get Vaccinated
REMINDER: Starting on October 7, all students taking remote-only classes who wish to visit a campus at any point this fall for any reason must be fully vaccinated and have their vaccination documents approved in CUNYfirst — unless they have been granted a religious exception or a medical exemption. More information about CUNY’s vaccination mandate can be found in these Frequently Asked Questions and for help uploading your information, see the Student Guide to Vaccination Verification.

Students will need to upload proof of vaccination in CUNYfirst no later than September 27. To meet this deadline, any student who is still unvaccinated will need to get the single shot of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine by September 23. More information about the vaccination mandate for students is in the Student Guide to Vaccination Verification.

Upload Vaccination Documents by 9/27 Or Risk Withdrawal 
Students must upload their vaccination documents to CUNYfirst by September 27 or face potential academic withdrawal from class! This could impact their financial aid and make them ineligible for refunds on their courses. Full details here. For instructions on how to upload vaccination verification documents, click here.

Mask Mandate
This mandate is subject to modification based on changing vaccination statistics and coronavirus transmission rates. For the time being, all students, faculty and staff, regardless of vaccination status. See the CUNY update: Clarity on New Mask Mandate.

Regular Testing Mandated for Unvaccinated/Undisclosed Faculty and Staff
CUNY is providing on-site testing throughout the University at 20 locations. All faculty and staff who are getting tested, MUST select one of the 20 locations identified by CUNY. Test results from any other pharmacy or clinic will not be accepted. All faculty and staff who 1) have not provided proof of vaccination in CUNYFirst, 2) are unvaccinated or 3) have undisclosed vaccination status, will receive an email with instructions on how to enroll in the testing program.

Anyone entering a CUNY facility would need to show proof of a negative test from the past 7 days or if you do not want to participate in the weekly mandatory testing program you can upload your vaccine verification documents. PLEASE NOTE: Results from the COVID-19 tests may take one to two days. For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions about CUNY’s COVID-19 Testing Program.
