E Permits

If a LaGuardia Community College course is either not being offered for the session or closed, students may take courses on permit at other colleges throughout CUNY. Students may apply for an ePermit by using CUNYFirst.

To Be Eligible to Take a Course On Permit at Another CUNY College:

  • Students must have a 2.0 (or higher) cumulative grade point average.

  • Students must currently be enrolled and in attendance at LaGuardia Community College.

  • The course must transfer back towards your LaGuardia degree.

  • NOTE: Students cannot elect to take course(s) for “Pass/Fail” or “Credit/No Credit” at the host college. A letter grade must be awarded (A, A-, B+, etc.).

  • Students may take a maximum of two courses on permit per session.

  • The course has to be one that is not being offered or is closed at LaGuardia Community College.

  • Approval of permit requests remains in the hands of the Department Chairpersons. If a request is denied, the student is notified electronically of the reason for the denial by email.

  • All credits and grades for courses taken at the host institution on permit will be transferred to the student’s record and included in their cumulative grade point average here at LaGuardia.

  • Non-Degree students are not eligible to take a course on permit.

  • Permits can only be approved for CUNY colleges, not for private or SUNY colleges.

Hybrid And Online Classes

A hybrid course is a combination of an online course and a traditional face-to-face course. Students, instead of meeting in a classroom for every class will instead perform a portion of the course learning activities online. The other portion of the class meets on specified dates with the instructor.

In order to take an online or hybrid course, a student must have completed at least one semester at LaGuardia and achieved a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better on all college-level work, or the student is required to have departmental permission. Some departments may have additional requirements.
