3. Can I take a course at another college?

Yes, you can. You would have to meet with your program coordinator to discuss whether the courses are equivalent. If the course is approved, you must file an e-permit through the CUNY portal to take the course at another CUNY institution. If the course is taken outside of CUNY, you must submit a Permit to Attend Another College form.

4. I have a course (or courses) taken at another college before attending Hunter College that I want to use towards my program’s requirements. What do I do?

If the course you took is equivalent to a course in your program, you will want to see if the course can be transferred into your current program. Submit the Graduate Transfer of Credit Form with an official transcript to your program coordinator first. If approved, it will then be sent to the department and then the Dean for final approval. Ifthe course is not equivalent to an existing course in your program, you can see if the course can be exempted or waived. Each program has a maximum number of credits that can be exempted or waived. Keep in mind that you have a minimum number of total credits for your program. If a course is waived, you must take another course with the same number of credits that is approved by your department. Submit the Exemption/Waiver form to your Room 1000W.
