ePermit and Permit — If you are interested in taking a course at another CUNY campus or another college, you must apply for an ePermit or Permit to do so.

Evening Classes — Evening classes begin at 4:35 pm or later. To be notified when the College is closed due to severe weather, you should register for CUNYAlert.

Financial Aid Enrollment Status Certification date — your enrollment status on this date is used to determine your financial aid.

VOE — Verification of Enrollment. Faculty must verify your enrollment in their class in order to determine WN grades (see below).

W Grade – You may withdraw from classes after the last day to drop for a 25% tuition refund, through the last day to withdraw. You will receive a “W” grade that is not calculated into your GPA. Students who officially withdraw from a course at this point are NOT eligible for a tuition refund.

Wait List — If a class you want to take is filled, you can join a wait list on CUNYfirst. Learn about waitlisting.

WD grade — A Withdraw/Drop grade indicates that you attended a class at least once before dropping it. You will receive a “WD” grade if you drop a course after the Financial Aid Enrollment Status Certification date, until the last day to drop a course for 25% Tuition Refund. A “WD” grade does not appear on your official transcript and is not calculated into your GPA.

WN grade — A Withdrawn/Never Attended grade will be assigned to you if you are certified as having never attended the class by the faculty, on the Verification of Enrollment Roster. A “WN” grade does not appear on your official transcript and is not calculated into your GPA.

Note: Students are protected by New York State law and cannot be penalized for missing any scheduled academic activities that may conflict with their religious observances. For more info, please visit CUNY’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Hub and CUNY’s Holiday Calendar.
