Transfer Student Orientation
Your new student orientation
We have put together a robust program for you to learn all about your new home – John Jay College! The sessions below will introduce you to campus life, important resources, and your new classmates.
Your New Student Orientation has two parts: the Online Orientation Portal and the in-person New Student Orientation sessions. Completing both parts of the New Student Orientation will ensure that you are prepared for your first semester and connected with other new students!
After you submit your deposit to John Jay College of Criminal Justice, you will receive an email with a link to your New Student portal and where you will register for the in-person New Student Orientation session. This is your home base! Accessing the Online Orientation Portal, register for NSO, claim your email, and much more.
The New Student Orientation process is designed to help you settle into John Jay College. It is not intended to replace your advising session or registration steps. For more information about advisement, visit here: http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/academic-advisement-center
