Application and Registration Information
Visiting and Other Non-degree Undergraduate Students
"Non-Degree Students" are defined as students who are not currently enrolled at Lehman College but who wish to take classes without pursuing a Lehman College degree. If you are not a current Lehman College or CUNY student but you are attending another college or university, you are considered a "Visiting Student”, which is a special category of non-degree student.
All undergraduate non-degree students must complete the online Non-Degree Application process, which allows you to submit the application and an unofficial copy of your transcript directly to the Admissions Office. The deadline is 3 business days prior to the start of a semester (fall and spring) or a sessiopn (winter and summer). This process gives you access to courses numbered 100-499, subject to verification of prerequisites and any required permissions. Please review the appropriate academic calendar for semester and session start dates.
Visiting and Non-Degree Graduate Students
Non-degree students who are interested in taking graduate-level courses (numbered 500 and above) follow a different process, which is outlined on the Graduate Admissions website.
Students from other CUNY colleges
Follow the CUNY ePermit procedure to register for a class. Once you have obtained your CUNY ePermit, you will be able to self-register via CUNYfirst. Please note that it can take 2-3 business days (or longer) for your home college to process the ePermit out and then an additional 2-3 business days for Lehman to process the ePermit in once your home college has completed their processing. You should initiate the ePermit process as early in the registration period as possible.
Lehman College students
Lehman students who completed courses in the prior fall or spring semester, and have not graduated or applied to graduate, will automatically receive summer and winter session enrollment appointments and can self-register via Schedule Builder. Please note that other holds may impact registration. Lehman students who have not attended courses in one of the two prior semesters must be readmitted to the College to register for classes. Click here for more information on readmission. Once readmitted, you may register online through CUNYfirst.
Accessing Online Courses
If you have registered for an online course, you can access Blackboard, our online learning platform, from any computer with an Internet connection at home, on campus, or in many local libraries. Visiting students will receive a Visiting Student Resource Guide with instructions for accessing Blackboard.
