Welcome to John Jay College of Criminal Justice. In 2014 the Office of Student Transition Programs began programming for family members in recognition of the vital role parents and family members play in the academic success of their students. Because family members are a very important part of the College community, we will make every effort to promote family communication and involvement. Whether you are family members of new or returning students, we hope your experience with John Jay is positive and rewarding.
This website will help you stay connected to the College. We will provide you information about our services and benefits and will keep you informed about campus activities and events. Also included is information that will serve as a resource throughout your student’s college career.
If you need personal service, send your request to parentsandfamilies@jjay.cuny.edu or call the Family Hotline at (646) 557-4888.
Our office creates dynamic, student-centered experiences to inspire purposeful transitions and equip students and their family members with resources, guidance and peer connections. Student transitions such as the first year of college, transfer experience, degree completion, and new graduate student experiences are critical junctures in the educational pipeline and provide unique opportunities for postsecondary student learning and development.
