CUSAFE - Cooper Union Campus Access Application

CUSafe

 

 

 

Cooper Union requires all students, faculty, and staff to present proof of vaccination and one booster, or proof of a medical or religious exemption from vaccination, in order to be on campus. Cooper Union will collect and secure this information via our own Vaccine Passport app (developed in collaboration with AppArmor) which is part of the existing CUSAFE app that was released last year. With CUSAFE, you can register your vaccination information in a secured and fully HIPAA compliant portal.

CUSAFE’s Vaccine and Booster Passport can be accessed beginning immediately upon receiving a Cooper Union email. The deadline for submitting proof of vaccination and a vaccine booster (or medical or religious exemption) for Fall Semester is Sunday, Aug 14, 2022.

How to get started: 



The CUSAFE app can be downloaded onto any Android, iPhone, iPad or tablet device.

Here are the links to download and install the CUSAFE application on your phone:

iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cusafe-the-cooper-union/id1527807648?ign-mpt=uo%3D2

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cutcom.apparmor.cooper&hl=en_US

Once you launch the CUSAFE app, you will see the “Vaccine Passport” button.

  • Simply click that button and follow the simple and short questionnaire including uploading an image of your vaccine card or exemption documentation.
  • After you’ve uploaded your documentation, which takes about 2 minutes, a registered nurse will review your submission and approve it. (Please allow 1-2 business days for your submission to be approved). 
  • Once your submission is approved, CUSafe will present a message that indicates you are allowed on campus and security will be notified to activate your Cooper Union ID card. 
  • You can use the camera on your phone or tablet to take a picture of your vaccine card at that time. 

If you do not have a smartphone or tablet or require assistance with installing or accessing the app, please reach out to itsupport@cooper.edu 

Please note that for those who register medical or religious exemptions on CUSAFE, weekly negative COVID-19 testing results will continue to be required to gain access to campus.

  • From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
