Dear Barnard Community,
We write to express our sincere gratitude for your patience in getting through the unprecedented unrest at Columbia and Barnard on April 30. Our campus operations are still impacted and this message contains helpful information about current access plans and adjustments.
One Point of Entrance. Our gate at 117th Street and Broadway remains our single open point of entrance. When this changes, we will let you know.
Milstein Library Hours. The Milstein Library will be closing at 7:00 pm through Thursday evening. We are looking into expanding hours through the remainder of the final exam period and will update you with additional information as it becomes available.
Barnard Access Only. Barnard’s campus is currently restricted to those holding a valid BCID and all in-person events are for the Barnard community only. The Barnard campus is currently not open to Columbia University students, faculty or staff.
Visitors to campus remain limited. Any visitor request must be submitted using the Guest Request Access form on Workday. Campus visitors will be granted access for critical operational functions and certain academic events with prior approval from divisional leaders. We are closely monitoring outside vendors that come to our campus and limiting attendance at meetings.
Residence Hall Access. Visitors to residence halls will be allowed only for move-out assistance in order to facilitate the end of semester moving process. Students living in the Quad should use the Guest Request Access form to ensure their move-out assistant(s) is able to access the main campus. Move-out assistants for students living in off-campus residence halls will use the guest registration form at the access attendant desk and then get a guest sticker from the access attendant. Non-BCID overnight guests are currently not permitted in residence halls.
We will continue to update you on campus operations and wish you well.
