Academic Standards
Note: English 101 is a prerequisite for all courses at the 200-level
while English 102 or English 201 is a prerequisite for all courses at
the 300-level or above.
Permission to register for a course without first fulfilling its
prerequisite(s) may be granted only when a course description
specifies that permission of the section instructor may be granted for
that purpose. In the absence of the section instructor, the chairperson
of the department (or designee) may authorize the prerequisite
waiver. Prerequisites may be waived only if, in the judgment of the
section instructor (or the chairperson of the department or the latter’s
designee), the student is academically prepared for the more
advanced course. The English prerequisites may only be waived
by the Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
If a course is required in a major or is part of the College’s general
education requirements, the student must take the course even if it
was waived as a prerequisite for a particular course.
Overall Credit Limitation
Students who have completed 144 or more credits or who have
registered for 20 or more semesters will not be permitted to register
without the approval of the Vice President for Enrollment
Management. Such students must develop a plan to complete their
degree requirements with the Vice President. They will be permitted
to register only for those courses required for fulfillment of degree
requirements.
REPETITION OF COURSES
Prohibited Repetition
A course for which credit has already been granted may not be
repeated. Students will not be granted credit toward their degrees for
repeated courses.
Required Repetition
Students who receive the grade of F, FIN or WU in a required course
must repeat the course at the next earliest opportunity.
Students who do not pass remedial or developmental courses must
re-enroll in these courses during the next semester of attendance. The

Limitation on the Repetition of Remedial and

The following policy shall apply in the matter of grades assigned for
remedial and developmental courses (see list in Required Repetition
section of this chapter):
1. A student shall not be permitted to register at the College if he
or she has received two Fs, FINs WUs, WNs or Rs, or any
combination thereof in the same course or its SEEK equivalent;
2. After receiving two Fs, FINs WUs, WNs or Rs, or any
combination thereof in the same course, students are prevented
from registering at John Jay College until they pass the course
at a CUNY community college. This decision is final.
3. Students wishing to continue within CUNY must apply to and
be accepted by a community college.

Students who wish to undertake independent study under the
direction of a member of the faculty must complete an Independent
Study Form obtained from One Stop or online. The form must be
signed by both the faculty member and the department chair, certified
by the Registrar and accepted during the official registration period
