The City University of New York has put in place an e-Permit
system designed to help students find, get approval for, and
register for courses at other CUNY colleges. Faculty advisors at
the student's home college must approve request to take a course
on permit at another CUNY college. Through e-Permit, 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
e-Permit, students should go to the CUNY homepage (http://www.cuny.edu)
and click the "Log In" button at the left. Once on the
University homepage, students initially will have to register
for a Portal ID and Password, by clicking on "Register" and
following the directions. Once registered and logged in,
students will find themselves on their own "My Page," that has a
link to the e-Permit system prominently displayed.
Grades for courses taken on permit at another CUNY college
are posted to students' records and are counted in the
computation of a student's GPA (effective, Fall 2004).
Note: Students receiving a failing grade (WU, F) under no
circumstances will benefit from the
F-grade policy.
Through the e-Permit website, students can find listing and
descriptions of courses at all CUNY colleges. The CUNY online
schedule of classes, accessible through the e-Permit site,
enables students to easily determine 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 encouraged to use the e-Permit application by login
on to www.cuny.edu.
