Columbia’s Morningside CampusThis summer, Columbia University instituted a color-coded campus access status system for Morningside Campus to simplify communication regarding the current circumstances on and around the campus. The Morningside Campus status level is based upon the potential disruption to CU’s academic mission and/or campus operations. Columbia University has announced effective Monday, August 12, the Columbia Morningside campus access status will be Orange for all hours of the day. This change is intended to keep community members safe given reports of potential disruptions at Columbia and on college campuses across the country at the beginning of the academic year. For more information please see the full message from Columbia University. As Columbia affiliates, Teachers College community members (Students, Faculty, and Staff) with a valid TCID will have continued access to the Morningside Campus. TC Community members are encouraged to periodically check the Columbia Public Safety website for Morningside Campus Access information, changes, and updates. Teachers College CampusWhile TC takes CU’s campus access status into consideration, we make determinations about access to TC’s campus based on our own distinct operational needs. As of this time there are no campus access changes at TC. Given our standing campus access policy and limited points of access, no changes or updates have been deemed necessary. Please be assured, TC is in regular communication with our university partners at Columbia University, local NYC officials, and beyond. Should campus access modifications be necessary at TC, the College will be sure to communicate this information to all community members. Access to the TC academic campus is through the main entrance at the Zankel Building. A valid TCID or a valid ID card from an affiliated institution of Columbia University must be presented for access. All non-affiliated visitors to TC’s campus must enter through the main entrance at the Zankel Building, present a valid ID, and check-in for campus access. For more information refer to TC’s Campus Access policy.
