1.10 Graduate Courses At Other CUNY Institutions


CUNY students enrolled at one institution of the University may take courses at other CUNY institutions if the credits will be accepted toward degree requirements.

To take a class on e-permit, the student must have at least a 3.0 cumulative grade point average. If you would like to take a course at another CUNY institution, you will need the approval of the Academic Dean and then file an ePermit request in your CUNYfirst Student Center. Please note that students may enroll only in graduate-level courses, and these courses do not count toward the Law GPA.

Students who obtain an ePermit to study at another CUNY institution pay tuition and fees to their home school. 

How to Apply for a CUNY ePermit: 

  1. You apply for an ePermit through your CUNYfirst Student Service Center. 

Step 1: Navigate to the Student Self-Service Student Center 

Step 2: Go to “Other Academic” and select the “ePermit” option from the drop-down menu 

Step 3: Select the term for which you want to apply for an ePermit, select the “Add ePermit” radio button, and then hit the “Continue” button to proceed. 

Step 4: You will be taken to the “Browse Course Catalog” page, where you will choose a school from the drop-down menu, and browse for the graduate course you are seeking to enroll in... 

Step 5: After you’ve selected the course, click on the “ePermit form” button to continue. 

Step 6: Review the information, ensure that you’ve selected the correct term, enter any comments you might like to include, and then click the “submit” button. Your ePermit request has been initiated. 

Once submitted, the status of your ePermit request can be checked by returning to your Student Center and choosing the ePermit option on the “Other Academic” drop-down menu. 

If your ePermit is approved, the status in your Student Center will be “Approved.” An auto-generated email will be sent to the Law School’s Registration Office and to each potential host school. 

  1. Please note: Applying for a permit doesn’t register you. If the ePermit is approved by both your home institution and the host institution, you will need to obtain registration instructions from the host college. 

Cancelling an ePermit: You must cancel the ePermit application online if the course you wish to take is closed or if you no longer want to enroll in the course prior to the start of the term. 

Cancelling an ePermit Request or Course: It is the student’s responsibility to cancel the course registration at both the home and host schools, as well as the ePermit request. The student must do this before the term starts to avoid tuition liability. 

The Law School’s academic calendar differs from the University-wide academic calendar, so be sure to obtain the host school’s academic calendar.
