Bulletin - John Jay College Of Criminal Justice - CUNY

Academic Standards
All notifications are e-mailed directly to the student’s college e-mail
address. All grades (A to WU) of courses taken on permit at CUNY
colleges will be posted to the student’s record and computed into his
or her overall grade point average. Students receiving a failing grade
(WU, F) for a course taken on permit will not benefit from the CUNY
F-grade policy.
Approval to Take Courses on Permit at Non-CUNY
Colleges
All students seeking a permit to a non-CUNY institution must make
an appointment to see the permit coordinator at the Office of the
Registrar. Students must bring a copy of the most recent college
catalog of the institution they plan to attend to the appointment. The
catalog must have course descriptions of the classes.
Students planning to take courses on permit at a non-CUNY
educational institution while enrolled at John Jay College must obtain
permission via a paper permit in advance from the Office of the
Registrar. Guidelines are available at the Office of the Registrar or
by visiting the Registrar's Office site on the College's home page,
www.jjay.cuny.edu.
Permits to non-CUNY Institutions require that payment be made at
the host institution. Students will be liable for the tuition rate of the
college they plan to attend outside the CUNY system.
Students are responsible for arranging to have an official transcript
sent from the host institution to John Jay Cllege.
ATTENDANCE
Standard Courses
Students are expected to attend all class meetings as scheduled.
Excessive absence may result in a failing grade for the course and
may result in the loss of financial aid. The number of absences that
constitute excessive absence is determined by the individual
instructor, who announces attendance guidelines at the beginning of
the semester in the syllabus for the course. Students who register
during the Change of Program period after classes have begun are
responsible for the individual course attendance policy.
Remedial and Developmental Courses
In remedial and developmental courses, students are automatically
considered excessively absent if their absences exceed the number of
times a class meets in any two-week period and are not eligible for
passing grades. In classes that meet once a week, more than two
absences are excessive. In classes that meet twice a week, more than
four absences are excessive. In classes that meet three times a week,
more than six absences are excessive.
The remedial and developmental courses are:
English for Academic Purposes EAP 121 and 131
English-W 100/SEEK English 093 and 094
Mathematics 100/SEEK Mathematics 095
Mathematics 103
