2023-2024 Graduate Bulletin

Credit Load

In order to be considered a full-time graduate student, students must register for a minimum of 9 credits per semester. However, a minimum of 12 credits per semester is still required for in-state students to receive flat rate tuition. Please see the 'Graduate Tuition and Fees' page on the John Jay website for more information.

No student may register for more than 60 graduate credits during their course of graduate study at John Jay without the approval of the Dean of Academic Programs and the Vice President for Enrollment Management. If approved, the student may only register for courses needed for graduation.
