CUNY ePermits
A CUNY ePermit allows matriculated Brooklyn College students to take classes at other CUNY Colleges. All credits and grades earned on permit will be transferred to the student’s record and included in their cumulative grade point average (GPA).
Please be aware that an approved ePermit request does not guarantee students a seat at the other institution. It only insures that Brooklyn College will accept the transfer credit for the course(s). ePermits are requested in CUNYfirst.

Non-CUNY Permits
If you want to take a course at an institution outside of CUNY, you must file a non-CUNY Permit application. The application is to be submitted to the applicable Brooklyn College academic department for approval and will only be accepted by the approver. The requirements for CUNY permits apply to non-CUNY permit applicants as well. You must still apply to be admitted to the non-CUNY school (host college) and finalize your registration at the host college. Once the semester is done, you will need to request for an official transcript to be sent to Brooklyn College at ePermit@brooklyn.cuny.edu.
