Second Chance Policy for CUNY Justice Academy Students
Matriculated students who leave John Jay College either on academic probation or as the result of an academic dismissal, for reasons other than academic dishonesty, who then transfer to a Justice Academy Program at a CUNY community college, and complete at least 30 credits, earn a GPA of at least 2.50, and receive an associate degree (AA or AS only) from a CUNY Justice Academy partner, will have the grades of their prior coursework at John Jay College treated as if it were transfer credit, just as is the coursework that is being transferred from the Justice Academy community college. These students would, therefore, begin their second career at John Jay College with a clear GPA slate, that is, with a GPA of 0.00. CUNY Justice Academy students who return to John Jay but do not meet the standards described above, may still apply under the general Second Chance policy if they meet the specified criteria.
