Requirements
Candidates for the associate degree must complete at least 60 credits and candidates for the baccalaureate degree must complete at least 120 credits to obtain a degree. All degree candidates must have completed all required courses, fulfilled the requirements of their majors, achieved at least a cumulative grade point average of C (2.00), and cleared all accounts with the College. Students are required to complete at least 30 credits at John Jay as well as 50 percent of their major. Students may NOT take more than 50 percent of the courses used to fulfill their degree requirements online.
Please note: students who plan on earning an associate's Degree must complete all degree requirements by the end of the Spring 2015 semester. John Jay will no longer award associate's Degrees after that semester.
Candidates for degrees are reminded that grades of INC assigned during the last semester of attendance in courses required for graduation will result in the postponement of graduation.
Please Note: that when a degree is posted to the student’s record, that record is sealed. Any requests for further updates or changes (such as grade changes) will be denied. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Office of the Registrar if he or she is expecting any grade changes or any other updates before any degrees are recorded.
