Student Procedures

CUNY mandates all students taking in person, hybrid and HyField classes get vaccinated and upload proof of vaccination in CUNYfirst. Students taking classes this spring who do not have an approved religious or medical exemption must upload proof of vaccination into CUNYfirst by Sunday, January 15 or they will be dropped from their classes. Continuing students who have already uploaded proof in CUNYfirst do not need to resubmit. ​Note: Students in HyFlex classes who wish to come to campus must have their proof of vaccination uploaded to CUNYfirst.

Booster Shots: To be considered fully vaccinated, students must receive two doses of the Pfizer, Moderna or Novavax vaccine OR one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Students are strongly encouraged to receive and upload proof of a booster dose when eligible.

Need help uploading your verification?



After your vaccine verification is approved, it will be sent to your TigerCard on the QCC Connect App, which you must use to access campus. If you haven’t already, download the QCC Connect App today.

After uploading your vaccine information, vaccination card, or medical or religious exemption request, it will take a few days to verify the information. Note: CUNYfirst will not automatically notify you whether or not your vaccine information has been approved. After a couple of days, begin checking CUNYfirst to see if your vaccine information was approved. Once it is approved, you will also see the approval on your QCC Connect app. Show your approval on the app to Public Safety to access campus.

Guest/Visitor Procedures

Prospective students interested in visiting the Office of Admissions or Continuing Education and Workforce Development just need to share the purpose of their visit with Public Safety upon arrival to the Queensborough campus. We recommend prospective students contact the Office of Admissions or the Continuing Education and Workforce Development Office prior to visiting.

For all other guests/visitors: there is an online guest registration process to admit/authorize guests to access the Queensborough campus. This must be completed prior to your guest's expected visit. Then, Public Safety will be notified of the upcoming visit and your guest(s) will receive an email to show Public Safety upon arrival to the campus.
