Access for Morningside Researchers

  • As of Wednesday, May 8, all individuals based on the Morningside campus involved in externally sponsored research, regardless of the sponsor, may access the Morningside campus for research-related activities. This policy applies to faculty, officers of research, postdocs, students, and technical staff involved in externally sponsored research. Your deans for research will communicate the process by which access will be granted. These deans will then contact Public Safety for ID activation.
  • For those working on research that is not externally sponsored, if your project requires on-campus activity, you may continue to obtain access for yourself and team members through your research dean as needed.
  • If you are not certain whether your project is externally sponsored, please contact your Sponsored Projects Administration project officer for clarification.

5/6/2024:

As of Monday, May 6, a (very) limited number of non-CUID visitors will be allowed on campus. Examples of such visitors include:

  • technical people needed to keep research equipment functioning, or 
  • someone whose presence is vital to a long-standing research project

Researchers seeking to obtain access for non-CUID visitors must email the relevant research dean the following information:

·  Name and affiliation of the non-CUID visitor

·  Date and time that the visitors will arrive and leave

·  Name of the faculty member they are visiting

·  Reason for the visit

If access is approved,  these visitors must at all times be escorted by an individual with a CUID -- they need to be picked up from the 116th and Amsterdam gates, and dropped off there again at the close of the visit.

5/4/24:

  • As of Friday, May 3, all faculty, officers of research, postdocs, students and research staff who require physical access to their laboratories for research continuity purposes may obtain access to do so.
  • The relevant deans for research must coordinate this access with Public Safety.  They are in the process of generating lists of individuals who require access for research continuity.  The relevant deans for research must approve any request for access.
