To register for graduate level courses you need an approval from our Academic Director (please use this form: http://web.gc.cuny.edu/cunyba/pdf/graduate_course_permission.pdf) and the professor teaching the course.  If the course is meant to be part of your Area of Concentration it must also be approved by your mentor. After you have secured permission you can apply for an e-permit. Once the permit is approved you should get registration instructions. Students usually have to register in person and it is a good idea to get a letter from the professor teaching the course and/or the department offering it granting you permission to register.
