Dear fellow members of the Columbia community, 

Effective 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, the Morningside campus is open to all Morningside-based Columbia University students enrolled in graduate programs, in addition to the undergraduates, faculty, and staff who were granted access over the past few days. Full access has now been restored for all Morningside-based Columbia students, faculty, and staff.  

Restriction at the Morningside campus remains in effect for affiliates of Barnard and Teachers College as well as Columbia affiliates based at CUIMC, Manhattanville, and other campuses. Click here for more details on who can currently access the Morningside campus and which gates are open. 

A note on access for Morningside Researchers   
All Morningside campus researchers, including faculty, officers of research, postdocs, students and technical staff, will be granted access to the campus for research activities. Click here for more information on campus access for researchers.   

Please remember to adhere to all university rules and policies to ensure a safe environment for everyone on campus. Safety remains our top priority as we welcome more of our community back. 

The Morningside campus lies at the heart of Columbia University. Welcoming back our complete Morningside community will help restore the full academic, research, and intellectual vibrance that defines the campus experience at Columbia. 

Sincerely,  

Cas Holloway
Chief Operating Officer
