Baruch College and The City University of New York continue to promote policies that protect the health, well-being, and safety of the community while honoring our mission to support students’ academic momentum and success. These policies are explained in detail at CUNY’s coronavirus web hub. Key elements are summarized below.
Policies and Resources for Students, Faculty, and Staff
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.
Students with questions about the Covid-19 vaccination policy and how it may impact them, should email the DeanOfStudents@baruch.cuny.edu.
Students with questions regarding uploading their vaccination documentation to CUNYfirst should email Baruch’s Local Vaccine Authority: lva@baruch.cuny.edu.
Faculty and Staff Guidelines
All full- and part-time faculty, all nonteaching instructional staff (including NTAs, CLTs, and those in the HEO series), and personnel in the Executive Compensation Plan (ECPs) are required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 in order to remain employed by the University, except if a medical exemption, religious exception, or reasonable accommodation has been granted.
