Morningside Campus Access Updates

 

Morningside Campus access status is subject to change at any time. 

Current Campus Access Status Level: “I” – ID Only

Campus open to active affiliate CUID holders and approved guests only.

If a guest, a chair, or a speaker without a CUID plans to attend a seminar meeting held on campus, they must be registered by the specific seminar rapporteur in the guest registration portal at least one week before the seminar meeting takes place:

Once the registration is processed and approved by the rapporteur’s Dean or head of department, the registered guests will receive a QR code pass to access campus.

If a chair or rapporteur needs assistance with guest registration, they should contact Gary Mayta (gm2965@columbia.edu) no later than 48 hours before the seminar meeting takes place.
