Coronavirus Information and Resources

On April 11, 2023, SUNY announced the end of the emergency COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate for students at the 64 SUNY campuses, coinciding with the official end of the national public health emergency.

COVID-19 vaccines are no longer required for students, though SUNY New Paltz and the SUNY system continue to strongly recommend that all students, faculty and staff stay up-to-date with COVID-19 vaccination.

SUNY New Paltz retired this COVID-19 Dashboard on May 31, 2022, and is no longer publishing daily updates to this page.

For regional COVID-19 transmission and hospitalization data, see the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s COVID Data Tracker.

Campus COVID-19 Vaccination Rates

Percentage of students and employees with a primary vaccination, and percentage of eligible students with a booster.

CDC defines "Primary Series" of COVID-19 vaccines as two doses of Pfizer or Moderna, or one dose of Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Not all students are eligible for boosters as of today's date. Click here to review the CDC's guidelines on Booster shot eligibility.

* While our Active and Recovered case tallies may include individuals who were tested at off-campus facilities, these figures will not be included in the Positivity Rate calculation, which only counts tests that take place on campus.

** On-campus testing is performed by Enzo Labs, SHS and SUNY Upstate Medical University. This figure reflects tests performed, therefore some test results may still be pending.

† From on-campus tests

Active cases are defined as a confirmed positive COVID-19 test among individuals who have been on campus and may have exposed others. Learn more about our testing and tracing protocols here. This Dashboard will be updated Monday – Friday by 10 a.m.
