Academic Standards
to the academic prerequisites listed in the course description and the
following stipulations:
1. The student must have completed 60 degree credits and have a
2.50 grade point average.
2. Students may take only one independent study course each
semester, up to a total of four such courses for the duration of
their undergraduate enrollment at the College.

4. The instructor cannot sponsor more than two independent study
courses per semester.
Permission for exceptions to these regulations must be obtained from
the department chair and the Vice President for Enrollment

require the additional approval of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
Permit/CUNY ePermit Courses
A permit course is a course taken at another college for which
students receive credit at John Jay College. Students must adhere to
the permit guidelines and follow the approval process described
below.
John Jay College Permit Guidelines
1. Students who wish to take a course on permit must be currently
enrolled as matriculated students and have a grade point
average of 2.0 or higher. Students who have stop(s) on their
record (e.g. Bursar’s, Financial Aid, Library, etc.) will not be
considered for a permit until their stop(s) have been cleared.
2. Transfer students may not take a course on permit until they
have completed at least one semester at John Jay and have
posted grades.
3. Readmitted students may not take courses on permit the same
semester they are readmitted.
4. Students who have completed 60 credits or more must obtain
permission from the Registrar to attend a community college on
permit.
5. If, after having been approved to take a course on permit, the
student opts not to take the course, the student must cancel the
permit on the CUNY Portal. Undergraduate Forensic Science
majors seeking a permit for science courses must obtain written
approval from the chairperson of the Department of Sciences
before the permit is considered. A permit does NOT guarantee
a student a seat in the class that the student wants to attend.
Approval to Take Courses on Permit at Other CUNY
Colleges
The City University of New York has put in place an e-Permit system
designed to help students find, receive approval for and register for
courses at other CUNY colleges. Through e-Permit, students can file
an online request and it will be processed online. Students are kept
informed of the progress of their permit request throughout the
approval process. If a request is rejected, a student will be notified
electronically of the reason for the disapproval. To access e-Permit,
students should log in to the CUNY homepage (www.cuny.edu).
Once on the University homepage, students initially will have to
register for a Portal ID and Password and can do so by clicking on
"Register" and following the directions. Once registered and logged
in, students will find themselves on their own "My Page," which has
a link to the e-Permit system prominently displayed.
Through the e-Permit website, students can find listings and
descriptions of courses at all CUNY colleges. The CUNY online
schedule of classes is accessible through the e-Permit site. It is the
student’s responsibility to find out whether a selected course is
being offered in that semester, whether it fits into the student's
schedule, and whether seats are still available. Students are
required to use the e-Permit application on the e-Permit website
(www.cuny.edu) for all CUNY permit courses. Please note that
students are required to submit one e-Permit application for each
course they wish to take on permit. When a permit is approved,
students will be notified by the host college when they can register.
Students must then register for the course at the host college.
Once the permit is approved to another CUNY institution, the credits
will be posted to the student’s tuition bill. Payment must be made in
full at the Bursar’s Office or One Stop before a student can register
at the host institution.
