The following information is to help you understand your course evaluation and register successfully. Click onto the New Transfer Student Tutorial. We recommend that you review this tutorial carefully. (The tutorial requires Adobe Reader installed onto your PC or Mac. You can download it for free here.)

Transfer Student Reminders

• Transfer Confirmation Form: A web link will be emailed to students via their new John Jay email address. Our Tutorial will guide you towards setting up your John Jay email account.

• Immunization: Before you register for classes, you will need to submit proof that you have been immunized for measles, mumps and rubella and completed the form regarding meningitis. Refer to the Tutorial for immunization information and links to forms. For additional information, the Student Health Center website is available here.

• Transcripts & High School Diplomas: Students with courses in progress must have official transcripts mailed to the Admissions Office (445 West 59th Street, New York, NY 10019) as soon as they have completed their studies. Students also may be requested to submit proof of high school graduation if they did not do so at the University Application Processing Center (UAPC).

• Transfer Credit Evaluation Process: You will receive an email and an invitation to attend a registration and advisement session (check your John Jay College email) once the Admissions Office evaluates your transcript(s).

• Financial Aid: All new entering Transfer students must file for FAFSA by July 1, 2010 for the Fall 2010 semester. Please see instructions on "How to Apply for Financial Aid for the 2010-2011 Award Year" available here. If you are eligible to receive TAP (New York State Tuition Assistance Program), please read the "The Guidelines To Receive TAP" document. This information is important in terms of registering for courses applicable towards your declared major and TAP eligibility. If you have any questions, please email the Office of Student Financial Services at financialaid@jjay.cuny.edu or call (212) 237-8149. To learn about financial aid or have questions about the financial aid programs at John Jay College, please visit Financial Aid TV.

• In-State Tuition Eligibility: If you receive a letter requesting that you provide proof of New York State residency, immigration status and/or citizenship status, please bring the appropriate documentation to the Admissions Office. If we do not receive this information before you register, you will be billed the out-of-state tuition rate of $415 per credit. The Undergraduate Tuition and Fees Schedule is available here. There are 2 rates of tuition; in-state and out-of-state. In most cases, to be eligible as a resident for tuition purposes, you must have continuously resided in New York State for a period of at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first day of classes, and be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or other qualifying immigration status. If you are under the age of 24, you are generally considered dependent upon your custodial parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and proof of residency is determined (in most cases) by their residency status.The CUNY Residency Form is available here.

• Registration Advisement Workshops: We urge students to attend a registration advisement workshop prior to registering for the Fall 2010 semester. The workshops are designed to provide transfer students with important information about degree requirements, services and resources within the John Jay community, and a step-by-step guide to registration. To sign up for a workshop, please e-mail; peercounseling@jjay.cuny.edu.

You may also contact the Transfer Peer Counseling Office (Room 3134N) at 212-237-8271 if you experience any difficulties or have questions regarding the online enrollment/registration process.

• Transfer Orientation: Transfer Orientation will be held on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at the College’s North Hall located at 445 West 59th Street. Here, you will have an opportunity to meet many members of the John Jay community -- administrators, staff, and students; learn more about John Jay; and speak with us about any of your particular concerns. An RSVP will be sent to your John Jay email address.
