John Jay College Of Criminal Justice | The City University of New York

John Jay College of Criminal Justice welcomes students from other campuses within the CUNY system, as well as students who are interested in taking classes without pursuing a degree.

There are three possibilities:

1. The E-Permit: Designed for current CUNY students, the E-permit enables you to study on a CUNY campus other than your home campus. Apply for the E-Permit.

2. Non-degree: You can apply to attend John Jay College as a visiting non-degree student. Non-degree students are not entitled to receive any financial aid and pay a higher rate of tuition than degree students. Interested students should complete the Undergraduate Non-Degree Application to qualify. The application fee is $65.

3. Auditing: If you are a New York State resident 60 years of age or older and have completed high school, you may attend John Jay College as an auditor for the undergraduate courses. There is a 2 course limit per semester. Senior Citizen auditors pay $80 per semester and can enroll on a non-credit, space available basis by completing the Undergraduate Non-Degree Application.
