For Entering Freshmen
Students are required to meet minimal standards in three skills areas - reading, writing and mathematics - before enrolling at John Jay College. Students can demonstrate that they meet these skill requirements based on SAT or ACT scores, New York State Regents test scores, or through the CUNY Assessment Tests (CAT). Unless a student is otherwise exempt, the CUNY Assessment Test scores will determine if the student meets the minimum standard. Students who do not pass the CAT tests may be eligible for additional preparation through the Student Academic Success Program (SASP) Summer Academy, and will have the opportunity to be retested during or after completing the program.
