Baruch students wishing to attend another CUNY school on permit:

Students who wish to take a course at another CUNY institution must apply using the e-Permit system in CUNYfirst. You will be informed of the progress of your permit request throughout the approval process via email. If a request is rejected, you will be notified of the reason for the rejection. Tuition for approved CUNY permit courses is paid to your home college. Grades for courses taken on permit at another CUNY college are posted on your home transcript and are counted in the computation of your GPA.

Please note:

• Permits are issued only to students matriculated for a degree at Baruch College who are not on academic probation.
