John Jay College of Criminal Justice welcomes students from other campuses within the CUNY, as well as students who are interested in taking classes without pursuing a degree. Please note: students educated outside of the United States CANNOT apply as a visiting or non-degree student.
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 must complete the application to qualify.
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 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. To qualify to audit courses, complete the application.
Once your application has been processed, you will receive notification about registering for your courses. Registration is on a space-available basis. Please note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to register for courses of your choosing. Course priority is given to John Jay College matriculated students. Registration for non-degree students will begin approximately one month prior to the start of the semester.
