Transfer Students
Students who have attended another accredited college or university may transfer to John Jay College. Applications must be made to The City University of New York (CUNY) through the University’s Application Processing Center (UAPC).

In addition to meeting the College’s other requirements, students wishing to transfer into the forensic science/toxicology and cellular molecular biology program must demonstrate a GPA of at least 2.50 and have taken courses in Math, Biology and Chemistry.
