Step 1: Login to Navigate using your CUNYfirst credentials. You can find the instructions here: https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/navigate/
Step 2: Issue an Alert. This will notify the appropriate CityTech office that you have identified a student having difficulties.
Step 3: If you have a good rapport with the student, recommend that they go to the Student Success Center (mailto:StudentSuccess@citytech.cuny.edu) to find additional CUNY resources to address their challenges.
Note: Laws prohibit us from diagnosing conditions, recommending counseling, or asking questions regarding learning challenges. Refer students to the Student Success Center and/or send an Alert via Navigate. Allow the professionals to address these challenges and advise you on how best to handle it.
For Fall 2023 semester, the following protocols should be followed by faculty and staff if they test positive for COVID-19:
Contact the Classified Staff Services office, HR Director Victor Humphrey at VHumphrey@CityTech.Cuny.Edu as soon as you test positive. You should notify the COMD department and course coordinator so substitute instruction can be arranged.
You should isolate (not return to campus) for 5 days after first testing positive. After 5 days you can return but must mask for 5 days if you are symptom-free. A negative test result or medical note is no longer required for clearance to return to campus.
Please watch this video to see how to login to classroom computers for faculty.

For complete information regarding City Tech’s COVID-19 protocols and procedures, please visit https://www.citytech.cuny.edu/returningsafely/. **This site will be updated with the new guidelines in advance of February 1 implementation.**
There will be random testing of 5% of the CityTech college population, including fully vaccinated students, staff, and faculty. https://www.cuny.edu/coronavirus/covid-19-testing-program-facultyandstaff-faq/#random-1
Instructors should try their best to accommodate students who are unable to attend in-person classes due to testing positive and being unable to get onto campus. We are not able to verify their positive tests.
Please plan your in-person and hybrid courses for students who are caught in this situation. Have online resources, presentation slide decks, reading lists, and other information.
If students need more information about the process of getting back onto campus, or other COVID-related questions, send them to the CUNY COVID policies here:
