1. Students must be matriculated (pursuing a degree) and are eligible to enroll for classes at Baruch College for the related term. (Visiting students and Non-Degree students are ineligible to apply for ePermit.)

Note: After filing for graduation, a future term will not be available to register for classes nor to apply for ePermits. A corresponding active term is necessary in order to apply. Revision of the graduation term may be necessary

Visit the Graduation page for more information regarding Baruch degree requirements, graduation, and diplomas.

2. Undergraduate students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher on their Baruch College official transcript, and not on Academic Probation.

3. Graduate Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher on their Baruch College official transcript, and not on Academic Probation.

4. Students must not have negative service indicators (Holds) that impact enrollment activity on their records. (E.g. Advisement, Athlete, Bursar, Dean of Student, Dismissal, Honors, Library, Probation, etc.)  These negative holds will affect your eligibility to be considered for ePermit. After ePermits are initiated, they may be denied due to a negative hold put on your account.

Note: Academic Plan Status is not a negative hold and it has no impact on enrollment.

5. Students must meet all Baruch College registration requirements, such as residency and immunization.

6. All prerequisites must be taken prior to submitting ePermit requests. Please check the desired course’s Enrollment Requirements (prerequisites, co-requisites, anti-requisites) at both Baruch College and the host college before applying. We check requirements manually. If any part of the requirement is missing, the ePermit will be denied/cancelled.

7. Epermits will not be considered for first semester new students (Undergraduate and Graduate).
Exceptions:  Macaulay Honors College, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), and CUNY-Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA) students

*First semester new students must take classes at Baruch College, and wait for all grades to post in order to apply for ePermits for subsequent terms. The ePermit system should become available provided all the above requirements are met at that time.  These students will still need to adhere to ePermit application deadlines. Deadlines will not be extended for reasons of not having all grades posted in time to submit ePermits for review.

**New M.H.C. and CUNY BA students, please speak to your program’s advisor to start the process.
ROTC students, please email epermit@baruch.cuny.edu to inquire.  Please note, conditional permission may be granted if all other relevant requirements have been met.

First Semester Transfer students interested in ePermit in the first semester

After your Baruch Enrollment start date/time, and both Home and Host college’s ePermit portals are open, please email epermit@baruch.cuny.edu to inquire.

Use your student campus email and provide the following information for initial screening:

• Full name
• EMPLID
• Baruch course you are trying to get credit for
• Host College
• Host Course you would like to take
• What Baruch requirement you are trying to fulfill with the ePermit class

Find ePermit deadlines on the Registration Dates and Deadlines calendar.

If you have any negative service indicators on your record that impacts enrollment activity, you must clear it with the office that placed the hold before you apply for ePermits.  (E.g. Advisement, Athlete, Bursar, Dean of Student, Dismissal, Honors, Library, Probation, etc.)

These negative holds will affect your eligibility to be considered for ePermit. After ePermits are initiated, they may be denied due to a negative hold put on your account.  Make sure to check your account’s Holds section on a regular basis.

Note: Academic Plan Status is not a negative hold and it has no impact on enrollment.

Students can take a combination of Baruch and ePermit courses up to the credit limits per session or term stated below.

• Fall term: 18 credits max  (Additional credits may need credit overload permission.)
• Winter session (session within Spring Term): 7 credits
• Spring term (regular session): 18 credits max    (Additional credits may need credit overload permission.)
• Summer: Two courses (up to 8 credits) per session. Ten-week Session 3 counts as one Session 1 and one Session 2.

If ePermit courses will place your schedule above the maximum credit load limit, students have to adjust their schedule to accommodate for the ePermit courses, or they’ll be denied.  This should be done before submitting ePermits. Students cannot use ePermit approvals to swap out already enrolled courses at Baruch College. The swap option cannot be used across different colleges. Permission and seats are not guaranteed, students should drop courses with caution.

Possible scenarios:
OK: 12 Baruch credits + 1 ePermit at 3 credits. (PERM-3) = 15 credits
OK: 3 Baruch credits + 2 ePermits at 6 credits (PERM-6) = 9 credits
OK: 0 Baruch credits + 2 ePermits at 6 credits (PERM-6) = 6 credits
NO: 16 Baruch credits + 1 ePermit at 3 credits = 19 credits. Over credit load limit.

Note: Students must take at least 60% of their major courses at Baruch College. There will be no exceptions.

Epermit course equivalency is based on established CUNY Transfer Rules evaluated by the home college.

Students may use the following website to double check course equivalency .  https://explorer.lehman.edu/transfer-rules

(Sending College: Where the class will be attempted. | Receiving College: Where the credits will transfer back to.)
If you experience difficulty finding/verifying a Baruch equivalent home course after researching on your own, please email us at ePermit@Baruch.cuny.edu via your student email account and include your EMPLID. Please be specific and include screen captures if necessary.

Please disregard anywhere else on the website that refers to the Transfer Service’s course equivalency website or the TIPPS website to look up course equivalency.

When to Apply

E-Permit requests are reviewed after registration starts for the term that corresponds to the ePermit requests. Students must submit ePermit forms after their Baruch College enrollment start date/time, and after both the Home and Host college’s ePermit portals are open. (E.g. Want to apply for Spring 2021? Look up the aforementioned information for Spring 2021.)

Apply on CUNYfirst

Steps to find your Baruch enrollment start date:

Visit CUNYfirst > Student Center > Enrollment Dates> Details > Desired Term > Continue > Appointment Begins: Date and time

Host Session : Unavailable or Error in red

If Host Session in the ePermit form is unavailable for the host college you selected, at the time you try to fill out the form that college has not open up their ePermit portal yet.  Both home and host college ePermit portals have to be open to create/submit an ePermit. Please either contact the host college for the opening dates or keep trying until the host session becomes available.

Processing times

Epermits will be reviewed in the order of the queues – approximately 10 business days (Baruch College only).
(Holiday/weather-related closings and weekends excluded.)  Processing time is subject to fluctuate during the open ePermit submission period.  This is normal and dependent on many factors.

To uphold fairness and reduce delays, initiated ePermits wait in queues to be reviewed and will not be expedited/prioritized. Please avoid emailing us to prioritize or expedite your requests. To help us process at a reasonable time frame, please familiarize yourself about (outgoing) ePermit by reading Baruch’s ePermit webpage first. Please note, only eligible/correct forms and student accounts would be granted approval.  Otherwise, requests will be denied/cancelled.

After Baruch’s approval, the processing time at the host college is not within our control, differs from college to college, and dependent on their work load.  All colleges require ample time to process ePermit requests.   *We thank you for your patience and understanding.*

Baruch students should check the status of submitted out-going ePermits in their CUNYfirst account  regularly.  There are no automated email updates.

How to Check the Status and Details of Your ePermit in CUNYfirst

Once submitted (Initiated), you can check for ePermit detail and status by following steps provided below.

1. Login to your CUNYfirst.
2. Click Student Center.
3. Academics section.  Select the ePermit option in the drop down menu. Click the double arrow to go.
4. Search Epermit.
5. Choose the desired term at Baruch College.
6. Select the radio button on the left side of the desired ePermit form.
7. Click Continue.
8. Scroll down the page to see details and comments for the ePermit.
   1. The e-Registrar Comments field can be expanded by dragging on the lower right corner of the box or by using the up/down arrows.
   2. View/Hide Comments in the lower part of the page may have additional comments.

ePermit Status Key

• Initiated –  The ePermit has been submitted successfully. It is waiting in queue for Baruch College’s decision.  Editing the form to make changes is no longer possible.
• Pending Committee Approval – Some ePermit requests will be send to second level committee for review.
  • Related committees: CUNY BA, MHC, STABD, USPIA, UWSAS, UZSB, GSPIA, GWSAS, or GZSB
  • If second level grants approval, it awaits for Registrar’s Office to review for final approval.
  • Note: multiple personnel may appear in the approver’s list. The primary approver of that committee will make a decision.
• Approved – E-permit was reviewed and approved by Baruch College. Please navigate into each ePermit form to read approval notes as it may have important terms/conditions associated with the approval
  • “Approved” shows approval from Baruch College only.  The host college’s decision will not be reflected on this form.
• Cancelled – The student has clicked the Cancel button in the ePermit form in the Initiated stage.  Status updates promptly after a page refresh.
  • Or: The relevant Baruch office has cancelled the ePermit with applicable notes in the form.
  • Or: The student emailed the ePermit unit (Registrar’s Office) to cancel the Approved ePermit. After we make adjustments to your account to complete the cancellation request, the status changes to Cancelled.
  • All Cancelled ePermits cannot be reactivated.
• Denied –The ePermit request was denied by the Registrar’s Office or the relevant second level committee.  Comments are provided in the appropriate section(s) of the form. Please locate the comments for the reason of the denial.
  • All Denied ePermits cannot be reactivated.

Once an ePermit is approved by Baruch College:

• The status in the ePermit form will change to Approved along with any relevant comments.
• Conditional approvals require students to meet certain terms/conditions.
  • If conditions are not met before the ePermit class starts, the approval is automatically deemed invalid.  Invalid ePermits should not be used to enroll for classes. Please email epermit@baruch.cuny.edu to cancel the approval to have your account updated accordingly.
• A corresponding PERM (or CUNBA) billing/credit code will be placed in the student’s Baruch College term schedule.
  • PERM (or CUNBA) codes should only be added (or removed) by the ePermit unit in the Registrar’s Office. These are ePermit billing and credit codes. These codes are not actual courses so attendance is not required. Multiple codes may appear in the schedule to show the total number of approved credit units. (E.g. PERM 3 and PERM 4 indicates a total of 7 credits on ePermit.) Credit count towards the session/term’s credit limit does include ePermit approvals triggered by these PERM (or CUNBA) codes.

Waiting for Host College to Review

Students must wait for the host college to review the ePermits on their end. Most, if not all, host colleges will inform students of a decision via email.  Usually these emails will include a good deal of helpful information.

Upon approval, an appropriate host college term and enrollment date/time will be assigned to your CUNYfirst account.  Make sure to check the enrollment start date/time assigned by the particular host college.  It is also suggested to check for Holds in your account before attempting to register.

Finding Your Enrollment date/time at a host college:

Visit CUNYfirst >Student Center >Enrollment Dates >Details >Desired Term at Host College >Continue> Appointment Begins

Enrolling at the Host College

When your host college enrollment date/time starts, you may try to enroll for the approved host course (as noted specifically in the approved ePermit form) using your CUNYfirst account.

• If issues arise when you try to enroll, note down the error message and reach out to the host college for assistance. All registration issues at the host college (enrollment appointment, pre-requisite, credit limit, closed course, etc.) should be follow up with the host college because Baruch College does not have access to update/override another college’s system or policies.

How to Enroll for Courses on CUNYfirst

Student Center  >  Enroll  >  Choose desired term at desired host college  >  add course to Shopping Cart  >  Checkout completely until you see a confirmation you have successfully enrolled into the class/section.

Confirm the Status of the courses in your schedule for the host college. Make sure you know you are enrolled or just wait-listed for the host course.  Placing a course in your shopping cart or enlisting in a wait-list does not save you a seat.

Schedule Builder is a real-time class scheduling tool that enables students to plan and register for courses that meet their schedules and other needs. With this tool, students can easily arrange class schedules that fit their personal and academic lives.” Once Schedule Builder becomes the official method/tool to build your schedule, the CUNYfirst ‘Add/Swap/Drop’ options would be turned off for students. Please familiarize yourself with Schedule Builder by watching the related video here.

Important: If Baruch students register for classes outside of Baruch College without prior approval from Baruch College Office of the Registrar, the credits will not transfer back.  It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that the host courses to be attempted are pre-approved by Baruch College (and the host colleges) as indicated specifically in the approved ePermit request forms. E-permit approvals are not transferable.

ePermit Approval Cannot Be Transferred or Changed

E-permit requests are not wild cards.

• E-permit requests are specific to what is indicated in the form and are not transferable.
• E-permit approvals cannot be saved (or applied) to a different class, college, session, or term.
• If you need to make changes after approval is granted, please refer to the Cancellation section below for instructions on how to Cancel Approved ePermits. After that, you may submit an ePermit with the desired new class, college, session, or term for review. The new ePermit will only be considered if it is submitted by the ePermit application deadline.
• The new ePermit would not be given priority just because you’ve already been given approval for prior submitted ePermits.

All approved, denied, or cancelled ePermits should have related comments. Please navigate into each ePermit form to review details and do not assume approval is granted for all submitted forms. It is the student’s responsibility to go back and check the status and details of submitted ePermits. The submitted forms are viewable up until the end of the applicable term.

All tuition and related fees for ePermits are charged by and paid to the student’s home college. Tuition is calculated based on the number of credit units (not credit hours) assigned to the host course at the host college.  At the end of the term, the host college will request Baruch College for the funds owe by the student.

Students pay for any other fees pertaining to specific courses directly to the host college (E.g. material fees, change of program fee, or late registration fee).

PERM (or CUNBA) billing/credit codes are added to the term schedule at the time Baruch College approves the ePermit. It will generate tuition starting that moment, not after students successfully enroll at the host college.

E-permit requests to attend community colleges will not generate less tuition per credit unit.

Adjustments of ePermit Tuition Charges

Adjustments can be made in the event that students do not successfully enroll in (approved) ePermit courses at the host college or if students drop host courses before the first day of the session (or term). The ePermit tuition charges may be removed from your account. Please refer to the Cancellation section below for instructions on how to Cancel Approved ePermits.

• Note: Students already enrolled into host courses must log into CUNYfirst and drop all courses that they will not take. Baruch College does not have the access to drop students from host courses.
• To ensure a timely review and adjustment to your account for tuition liability (and financial aid) purposes, students must notify us prior to the first day of the session (or term).  Rest assured, if you do not have tuition liability to the host college, the ePermit tuition charges can be removed.
• Learn more in the cancellation tab.

Tuition Liability: Drop Before the First Day

Host courses dropped on or after the first day of the session (or term) will incur tuition liability in accordance to the host college’s tuition refund calendar (or liability schedule).  Make sure to familiarize yourself with the academic calendars at the home college and the preferred host college. (E.g. 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% tuition liability)

Students eligible for financial aid must apply through their home college and are responsible for meeting all academic course and credit load requirements.

TAP and ePermits

If you are a recipient of financial aid (especially TAP) you must take courses that can be applied toward your Baruch degree.  TAP funds can only be applied toward classes that meet your degree requirements.  Please make an appointment to speak to an Academic Advisor to make sure any ePermit courses you are interested in are required for your degree.

NYS Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) requires students to take at least 12 credits that count toward their stated degree in order to qualify for full-time TAP.

TAP Compliance

The TAP Compliance unit encourages students who are taking ePermit course(s) with pending TAP awards to submit a TAP Compliance form for review. DegreeWorks and FACTS (at Baruch College) are unable to identify ePermit approvals and enrolled host courses as meeting (or not meeting) requirements for TAP.  Hence, your eligibility requires manual review by the TAP Compliance unit.

Learn more about TAP Course compliance here.

Financial Aid Eligibility

Please visit the Financial Aid website for more information regarding eligibility for Financial Aid.

You must cancel ePermits before the first day of the session (or term).  The Registar’s Office needs ample time to process requests.

Drop Your ePermit Courses in CUNYfirst

If you no longer want to take courses at any college (Baruch College included), please make certain to successfully drop them via your CUNYfirst account. If permission is needed to drop certain courses, please contact the appropriate office at that particular college to reconcile it. Please do not rely on system cancellation or system drop processes to remove you from courses you no longer wish to take.

PERM (or CUNBA) codes are ePermit billing and credit codes placed in your Baruch schedule. Students do not add/drop these codes. Students should add/drop the class at the other college (Host College).

Status: Approved

• If enrolled or waitlisted in the host course, drop it first, then email us.
• After we completely cancel an ePermit, it will no longer be a valid approval and the status associated with the ePermit will change to “Cancelled”.  Currently, all denied (or cancelled) ePermits cannot be  reactivated.  Please cancel with caution.
• Trying to cancel more than one approved ePermit?  Follow the template below and send it over in one single email

It will update to Cancelled after we go into the form and click the Cancel button on our end.

Grades and credits of approved ePermit courses (specified in the approved ePermit form) will transfer back to the student’s Baruch record, and will be included in their cumulative GPA.  (Exceptions noted below.)

Requirement Designations for ePermit credits will be the designation coded to the in-residence Baruch class.

For example:
Lehman | ECO 166 | FISR < NO
Baruch | ECO 1002 | RLA < YES
If you want the Host course’s designation to transfer back to the approved Baruch course, you must state it specifically in your ePermit form – Comments section. If after the fact, you may have to file a Pathways Appeal for consideration.

Approximately 3 – 4 business days after the last final exam date at Baruch College, the Registrar’s Office retrieves  ePermit grades collectively. Accounts are reviewed and grades are posted manually. Please expect approximately 10 business days for it to be reflected in your Baruch record on CUNYfirst.

• Note: E-permit approval (or permission) is not transferable. Non-approved host courses or invalid e-Permits will not transfer back to Baruch College.

Where to Find ePermit Transfer Credits

1. Baruch College Unofficial Transcript: In the “Other Credits” section at the bottom
2. CUNYfirst > Student Center > My Academics > View my Course History  or  View Transfer Credit Report (Other Credits;  Baruch College)

Note: The grade and credits are posted alongside the Baruch equivalent course per the approved ePermit. Not the PERM billing/credit code.

You may experience an extended timeline for receiving your ePermit credit and grade in the following areas:

• Degree Works: Updates in 3 – 4 business days after grades/credits are posted to your Baruch record on CUNYfirst.
• CUNY BA: ePermit grades/credits are not posted by Baruch College. The applicable CUNY BA office processes the transfer of ePermit grades/credits for CUNY BA students.
• Study Abroad: Credits are not posted by the ePermit unit. Please see Baruch College Study Abroad Office’s Additional Study Abroad Requirements page for related details.
  • It is not recommended to go out on ePermit, non-CUNY permit, or study abroad during your final term. If issues arise in retrieving and posting these grades, it may jeopardize your graduation.

Incomplete Grades

INC (Incomplete) grades earned at the host college will transfer back to your Baruch College record as such. However, you have a time frame (inquire with the Host College) to resolve that ‘INC’ grade. At the end of the applicable time frame, unresolved INC grades may update to a failed incomplete (FIN) grade. FIN is punitive and will be calculated as an ‘F’ in your overall GPA.

Changes in Grades/Grades Posted Past Deadline

A grade posted or officially changed by the host colleges will not update immediately at Baruch College. For all approved grade changes (or grades posted past the Grading deadline) at the host college, students must notify us at epermit@baruch.cuny.edu so we may adjust your Baruch record accordingly.

Credit Values Between Host and Home College

The number of credit units transferable for each course will be the value assigned by the host college and not the home college.

Possible scenarios:
[Host course: 3 credit units | Baruch (Home) course: 3 credit units >> Transfers back with 3 credit units]

[Host course: 3 credit units | Baruch (Home) course: 4 credit units >> Transfers back with 3 credit units]

[Host course: 4 credit units | Baruch (Home) course: 3 credit units >> Transfers back with 3 credit units attached to the home course, and remaining 1 credit unit will be Elective credit]

There are many reasons why an ePermit can be denied. If an ePermit has been denied (or cancelled) due to any issues, please resolve the issue(s), then, resubmit for review.  All denied (or cancelled) ePermit forms cannot be reactivated. Here is a list of possible reasons why the ePermit could be denied:

Issue 1: The Form is Missing the Baruch Home Course

The Home Course field is located below TERM on the left hand side of the ePermit form.

• Undergraduate students: Ensure home course and host course are equivalent by using Add ePermit with Equivalent Courses (mode 1) to apply.
• Groups that cannot use mode 1 to apply are : Classes at Macaulay Honors College |Liberal Arts (LAS) elective Baruch equivalents |Undergraduate ROTC (Military) classes |Study Abroad supplement forms |KbCC, LgCC, and Guttman CC : Winter and Summer sessions
• CUNY Baccalaureate students: Not required to include a Baruch home course in the ePermit form. (CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies program)
• Graduate students: Speak to a program advisor to obtain a Baruch home course to input into the form via ‘Add ePermit’ (mode 2). We cannot provide the equivalency for Graduate level courses. Please speak to your program advisor.

Issue 2: Credit Load Issue

See the tab “Credit Limits on ePermits” for more information.

Issue 3: You Occupy a Seat in the Baruch Home Course

Duplicate registration is not permitted. ePermit requests will not be considered if you have successfully occupied a seat in the Baruch College course you are requesting to take on ePermit.

• It doesn’t matter if the course is currently in-progress, or is enrolled in the upcoming term.  This is not allowed.
• You must drop the course at Baruch College first. Permission does not guarantee enrollment in the host college, hence seats are not guaranteed at any college. Students should drop courses with extra caution.

If you’re still eligible, then approval may be granted after you drop the course from your Baruch schedule. If this is not something you are willing to do, it is highly recommended to take the course at Baruch College.

Issue 4: You Attempted the Course at Baruch College and Earned a Failed Grade

The F-repeat policy does not apply to courses taken on ePermit. If you want to replace a failed grade (F, FIN, WU), you have to retake the failed course at the home college.

• More information about “Repeating Courses” is available in the Baruch College Undergraduate Bulletin.

If you do not care for the failed grade to be replaced, you need to submit a correct ePermit request and indicate in the following statement in the Comments section.

“I understand this ePermit will not replace the failed grade from a previous attempt for this home course at Baruch College. The failed grade will remain in my transcript and will also be calculated in my cumulative GPA.”

Please note, if you fail a course on ePermit at a host college, and you wish to retake it, the F-repeat policy may not apply in such a situation.  The first and second (or third) attempts of the same host course would average out in the cumulative GPA.

Issue 5:  The “Permit Type” is  Selected Incorrectly

Do not select the wrong Permit Type. Pick the permit type closest to the requirement you are trying to fulfill for your Baruch degree:

• General Elective
• Major Elective
• Pathways: Pathways College Option, Pathways Flexible Core, Pathways Required Core
• CUNY Baccalaureate – Select only if you are a student accepted into the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies program.
• Study Abroad – Select only if you are using the ePermit for a Study Abroad program sponsored by another CUNY college.

Issue 6: E-permit Requests for MTH 1023,  MTH 2009,  MTH 2205 or MTH 2207,  BUS 1011.

There are no equivalent courses at other colleges to transfer back as MTH 1023, MTH 2009, MTH 2205 or MTH 2207, or BUS 1011. Do not request ePermits for these Baruch courses.  Such requests are not valid and will be denied.

• Calculus: The alternatives for Calculus are MTH 2610 or MTH 2206 at some colleges. The enrollment requirements are noted below.
  • MTH 2610 Enrollment Requirements: Requires placement into MTH 2610 or have completed MTH 2001, MTH 2003, or equivalent with a grade of B or better.
  • MTH 2206 Enrollment Requirements: Prerequisite: A grade of C or better in MTH 2001, 2004, 2005, 2300, or 2301 or equivalent.
    • If successfully completed on an approved ePermit, currently MTH 2206 can be used to fulfill the pre-Business Calculus requirement.

MTH 1023, MTH 2009 (direct sequence to MTH 1023), and BUS 1011 must be taken at Baruch College.

Issue 7: The Baruch Home Course Been Attempted Three Times

E-permits will not be issued for courses that have been attempted three times at Baruch College, nor for which have transferred in to Baruch College (such as on ePermits) totaling to three attempts. An appeal for a fourth attempt is required, but approval is not guaranteed.

Learn more about Baruch’s Repeat Policy

Issue 8: The Baruch home course is in-progress, has earned a passing or INC grade, or attempted with no grade posted.

Requests for courses that have earned a passing grade or an unresolved grade of INC will not be considered or approved.  This policy also applies to an “INC” grade assigned to a pre-requisite for the course you want to take on ePermit.  (All prerequisites must be taken prior to submitting ePermit requests.)

Requests for courses that have earned passing grades of “A” to “D”, “P” or “CR” will not be reviewed nor approved. Such courses cannot be repeated. Learn more about the repeat policy.

A course ‘In-progress’ or has no grade is not considered completed nor passed.

Issue 9. The e-Permit is a Request for Capstone Courses

All Capstone courses must be taken at Baruch College.  (Minor, College Option, or Major)

Issue 10. E-permit form has more than one host college and/or host courses

Each ePermit form should have only one Baruch home course, one host college, and one equivalent host course. CUNY BA students are not required to provide a Baruch home course in the form. Baruch College does not post your ePermit grades/credits.

When multiple (or separate) ePermits are submitted for the same Baruch home course only one request will be considered for approval. Such ePermits will be reviewed in the order that they were submitted. If no issues arise, the first of these ePermits will be approved and the remaining similar requests will be denied.  Please only select your first choice school and pre-check the host course for open sections.

Issue 11. You selected (or submitted) the wrong term (or session) in the ePermit form.

If colleges follow the 15-week calendar, the Winter session is part of the Spring Term for these colleges.

• Please select the Spring term at Baruch College in the first step of the ePermit application process. Then, in the ePermit form, locate Host session and select Winter(via the Lookup icon/magnifying glass).

Colleges that do not follow the 15-week calendar are:

• Kingsborough Community College
• LaGuardia Community College
• Guttman Community College

See the next tab for more information for applying for winter or summer sessions at these colleges.

Please follow the instructions below for instructions for applying for Winter or Summer sessions at Kingsborough Community College, LaGuardia Community College, or Guttman Community College.

Please be advised, if you decide to take a pre/co-requisite courses on ePermit, these said courses cannot be used to satisfy requisite requirements for registration (into next sequence courses) until a passing grade is posted to your Baruch College record.  Seats are not guaranteed or saved at any college, therefore this is a risk you will take on at your own discretion.

You may take certain pre/co-requisite courses on ePermit. However, Baruch College’s system cannot detect such courses are in-progress at another college.  The different college’s systems are not interconnected in such a way.​

E-permit course grade/credits will have to be officially posted to your Baruch record (transcript) in order to enroll for courses in the next sequence, or to further request ePermits for courses in the next sequence.

The option to Swap classes does not work across colleges. You may only swap classes within the same college.

Note: When you successfully enroll into courses in the next sequence along with the pre/co-requisite at Baruch College and then decides to drop the pre/co-requisite and take it on ePermit, you are no longer meeting the enrollment requirements to keep these classes.  It is highly possible that the courses in the next sequence will be dropped (by post  enrollment requisite check) from your schedule before the term begins.

It is important that your CUNYfirst account has the correct Baruch email address on file and is set as the preferred campus account. If not, please indicate your official Baruch email in the Comments section in the ePermit form in case we need to contact you about the submitted requests. You can only write comments before submitting the ePermit forms.

Please check your Baruch email regularly for important and time sensitive communication from Baruch College. Check both the inbox and junk mail/spam folders.

You may take some courses at a Non-CUNY college. Please note, non-CUNY permits are not permissible to any community colleges, regardless if it is a SUNY or private institution.

To apply, please fill out an Outgoing Non-CUNY Permit Application to be reviewed for permission.
