At this time, general campus access is available to all Parsons students, and most Making Center spaces are open, with adjusted availability. All students — regardless of their vaccination status — are required to take a PCR COVID-19 test within 7 days prior to visiting campus for the first time this Spring. All community members must receive a booster by January 21, even if you have recently tested positive. Making Center orientations are required for access.
