Graduate Bulletin 2011–2012 - Brooklyn College - CUNY

12 Admission
a CUNY permit request from their home college to the
Office of the Registrar. This may be done in person or online
using the CUNY e-permit system by logging onto the CUNY
portal, https://portal.cuny.edu; click on “Current Students,”
then “Course Permits.” Note that permission to take a permit
course is not the same as registration for that course. The
permit registration is not completed until the student pays
at the home campus and completes the registration process
at Brooklyn College. All three steps—the permit request
at Brooklyn College, payment at the home campus, and
registration at Brooklyn College—must be completed, or the
student is not officially registered for the course at Brooklyn
College. Brooklyn College students may take courses at other
CUNY schools. A parallel permit procedure applies to them.
Students visiting from non-CUNY schools
Students in attendance at colleges other than CUNY colleges
may be admitted as visiting students. They must file a Visiting
Student Application Form and submit to the Office of the
Registrar an official letter certifying that they are in good
academic standing at their home college and have permission
to take course work at Brooklyn College. The Visiting Student
Application Form may be downloaded from the Admissions
Web page of the college website, www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/
pub/admissions.htm. Visiting student status is valid for only
one semester and requires a nonrefundable $50 application
processing fee.
Auditing courses
Graduate students may register to audit graduate courses for
no academic credit by presenting an approved audit form
to the Enrollment Services Center during the first week of
classes. Courses audited may not be repeated for credit.
Students may obtain an application form in the Office of the
Registrar or online on the WebCentral portal, https://portal.
brooklyn.edu. Students auditing a course must pay applicable
tuition and fees. Unofficial auditing is not permitted.
Registration for courses
Students are expected to complete registration during the
college’s official registration period. Information on critical
dates for each semester may be found on the academic
calendar on the college website, www.brooklyn.cuny.edu.
It is highly recommended, and in some programs required,
that students consult with their graduate deputy or program
head prior to registration, as many graduate classes require
that express permission from the program be entered into
the registration system. Entering students should bring copies
of their undergraduate transcripts to the graduate deputy or
program head. Continuing students should present a copy of
their up-to-date Degree Progress Report, obtainable on the
college portal, https://portal.brooklyn.edu.
New York State health law
requirements
New York State law requires students registered for 6 or
more credits in any term to submit documentation proving
immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. The following
constitutes proof of immunity: two doses of measles vaccine
and one dose each of mumps and rubella; or blood test
results showing immunity to each disease.
Students who do not receive a Student Immunization Record
as part of their admission packet may obtain one in the Health
Programs/Immunization Requirements Office, 0710 James Hall,
718.951.4505. Forms may also be found on the Campus Life
Web page, www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/pub/immunization.htm.
While certain students may be exempt because of age,
medical reasons or religious belief, they must still submit
documentation of exemption before registering. Students who
are not exempt must submit proof that they have received
one dose each of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine before
registering; they have 30 days to submit proof of the second
dose of the measles vaccine.
After 30 days, students who have not submitted complete
documentation will be prohibited from attending classes and
will receive a grade of WA (withdrew for failure to satisfy
immunization requirements; no academic penalty) in all
courses for the semester. Tuition will not be refunded, and
there may be consequences with regard to financial assistance
and loan repayment schedules.
New York Public Health Law 2167 requires students to
submit a Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccination Response
Form signed by the student or student’s parent or guardian
to the Health Programs/Immunization Requirements Office.
Students who fail to return this form within 30 days from the
beginning of the semester may not attend classes. The form
acknowledges the receipt of mandatory meningococcal disease
and vaccination information. Vaccination is not required.
