ePermit

If a Kingsborough Community College course is either not being offered or is closed, students may take the course on permit at other colleges throughout CUNY.  Students may apply for an ePermit by using self-service in CUNYfirst.

To be eligible to take a course on permit at another CUNY college: 

  • Students must be CUNY English and Math Proficient. 
  • Students must have all immunizations required by the Home College.
  • Students must have no negative service indicators (stops/holds) on their record.
  • Students must have a 2.0 (or higher) cumulative grade point average. 
  • Non-Degree students and first semester students are not eligible to take a course on permit.  Matriculated students who have successfully completed 12-credits may take ePermit courses beginning with their second semester.  
  • Course(s) must transfer back towards a KCC degree. Students must include both host college course(s) and home college equivalent course(s) descriptions on their ePermit application.   Remedial courses are not eligible for ePermit.  
  • Students may only take the course(s) for which they have an approved permit.
  • All credits and grades of courses taken at the host institution on permit will be transferred to a student's record and included in the cumulative grade point average and transfer credit accumulation. NOTE: 30 is the maximum number of transfer credits that will be applied toward your KCC degree.
  • If the number of course credits assigned by the host college and the home college are not the same, students will receive the lesser number of credits for the course.    

Before filing for an ePermit, be sure to understand the information we have on this website and visit ePermit FAQs.
