Approval to Take Course on Permit at Other CUNY Colleges

The City University of New York has put in place an ePermit system designed to help students find, receive approval for and register for courses at other CUNY colleges. Through ePermit, students can file an online request and it will be processed online. Students are kept informed of the progress of their permit request throughout the approval process. If a request is rejected, a student will be notified electronically of the reason for the disapproval. To access ePermit, log in to the CUNY Portal at http://www.cuny.edu and click ePermit. You will be prompted for your CUNY Portal login information again.

Through the ePermit website, students can find listings and descriptions of courses at all CUNY colleges. The CUNY online schedule of classes is accessible through the ePermit site. It is the student’s responsibility to find out whether a selected course is being offered in that semester, whether it fits into the student’s schedule, and whether seats are still available. Students are required to use the ePermit application on the ePermit website (http://www.cuny.edu) for all CUNY permit courses. (SEE above)

Please note: students are required to submit one ePermit application for each course they wish to take on permit. When a permit is approved, students will be notified by the host college when they can register. Students must then register for the course at the host college.

Once the permit is approved to another CUNY institution, the credits will be posted to the student’s tuition bill. Payment must be made in full at the John Jay College Bursar’s Office before a student can register at the host institution. All notifications are e-mailed directly to the student’s college e-mail address. All grades (A to WU) of courses taken on permit at CUNY colleges will be posted to the student’s record and computed into his or her overall grade point average. Students receiving a failing grade (WU, F) for a course taken on permit will not benefit from the CUNY F-grade policy.
