The only time he was stopped by a Campus Safety officer while using a fake screener was when he forgot to type in his last name. “I’d be fine if the screener was just one button, but we have to go through so many steps just to show the guards basically a number,” he said, referring to the date on the screener. Instead of taking weekly COVID-19 tests in the meantime, Evaristo decided to edit her old screeners to reflect the current date.ĬAS sophomore Justin Chui has been using all year. Students now log in with their NYU ID to verify their vaccination status.īecause Evaristo had incorrectly uploaded information about her booster shot to the NYU Student Health Center portal, she was unable to pass the Daily Screener for two weeks until the issue was resolved. Before COVID-19 vaccines were widely available, the screener asked students to affirm that they had not been experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Now, she could enter NYU buildings without completing the required Daily Screener, a questionnaire that NYU students must complete and show to Campus Safety officers in order to enter university buildings. She took a screenshot of one of her completed screeners and used the online photo editor Picsart to create a textbox with a color sample from the background, type the new date in Helvetica Bold, and overlay that on top of the old date. When Clara Evaristo, a first-year studio art major at NYU, noticed that her Daily Screener wasn’t working, she realized that making a fake one was much easier than she thought - all she had to do was find the same fonts and colors that the real screener used.
