If you are an RFCUNY or CUNY employee, and require access to protected/internal RFCUNY information or systems, you must register for a user name and password.  The registration process will require you to provide us with identifying information, such as your name, location, email address, phone number and in some instances, a partial social security number.

We maintain log files of all access to RFCUNY.ORG and also monitor network traffic for purposes of site management and security. We use this information to help diagnose problems with the server and to carry out other administrative tasks.
