Seminars on Science

Registration

Matriculated CUNY students (except Brooklyn College)

  1. Do not register for the course through the Seminars on Science website.
  2. Obtain an ePermit to take a Seminars on Science class for credit through the CUNY School of Professional Studies. Faculty advisors at your home college must approve your request.
  3. To access ePermit, go to CUNYfirst. Once on the University's Login page, you will have to register for a CUNY Portal ID and Password, if you haven't already done so, by clicking on "Register" and following the directions. Once registered and logged in, you will be directed to your own "My Page" that has a link to the ePermit system prominently displayed. You can track the process online, and will be informed electronically when your request is approved or denied.
  4. If you have any questions about the ePermit system, please contact your home college registrar. If your home college registrar is unable to resolve the problem, contact CUNY SPS at 646.664.8514 or registrar@sps.cuny.edu.
