We are introducing a new access tool — the
NYU Vax Pass — and we want you to understand it.
The day-to-day key for accessing NYU facilities, academic activities, and events is the
Daily Screener “Green Pass”, which appears for all those who are in compliance with NYU’s vaccination requirements.
However, there will be a small number of situations in which access must be limited to the
fully-vaccinated due to the public health risks involved. And because there are a very small number of people who are in compliance with NYU’s requirements but are not fully vaccinated (eg, someone who has received a medical exemption), we have created another access tool available through NYU Mobile: the NYU Vax Pass.
When you log in, the Vax Pass will automatically recognize if you are fully vaccinated, and if you are, it will furnish you with the proper violet Vax Pass screen that you can display for entry to NYU events or facilities limited to the fully-vaccinated.
Additional details and instructions can be found here.
Summoning a Vax Pass is as easy as using the Daily Screener. Use of the Vax Pass should be pretty rare, as should occasions requiring the Vax Pass.
No one is permitted to designate a University-sponsored activity or setting, on or off-campus, as limited to fully-vaccinated individuals without receiving written approval from NYU’s COVID-19 Prevention & Response Team (CPRT); only the CPRT can designate an event as being limited to fully-vaccinated members of the NYU community rather than members of the community who are compliant with University vaccination rules. If you think there is an essential justification for a vaccinated-only designation, complete the
exception request form.
