Steps to Enroll for Transfer Students

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. The New Transfer Student 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 New Transfer Student 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 (check your John Jay College email) once the Admissions Office evaluates your transcript(s).

• Financial Aid: The deadline date for students accepted in November to apply for Financial Aid for Spring 2010 is November 30, 2009. The deadline date for students accepted in December to apply for Financial Aid is December 18, 2009. Please see instructions on "How to Apply for Financial Aid for the 2009-2010 Award Year" available here. If you have any questions, please email the Office of Student Financial Services at financialaid@jjay.cuny.edu or call (212) 237-8149.

• 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. In most cases, there are 2 components to in-state tuition eligibility; continuously residing in New York State for a period of at least 12 months prior to the start of the semester, and being in a qualifying immigration status. Students under the age of 24 are generally considered dependent upon their custodial parent(s) or legal guardian(s) and proof of residency is determined (in most cases) by their 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 Spring 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.
