A Visitor to a University campus is someone who is not a CUNY student, faculty or staff member.

There is no vaccination or testing requirement for visitors.

Per CUNY's latest guidelines, New York City College of Technology will not require face masks.

Anyone who would like to continue wearing masks in any setting is welcome to do so at any time. Masks will continue to be available on campus and in offices.

Faculty, staff and students who are still not vaccinated are urged to continue to wear a mask. Mask requirements associated with isolation and quarantine as referenced later in these guidelines remain in effect.
