Office of the Registrar E-Permit Student Instructions E-Permit facilitates the process of CUNY students obtaining permission to register for courses offered at other CUNY colleges. This process will arrange for your request to be reviewed by the appropriate department for approval and processing. An ePermit does not automatically register a student for a course, nor does issuance of an ePermit guarantee enrollment at the HOST College. To access E-Permit, you must have an active CUNYfirst account.
