Welcome to the Guide for Majors and Minors in the Sociology Department! This guide is for you! Wondering

Follow the directions on page 18. Interested in an internship? See page 22. Have other questions? See the

Table of Contents on the previous page, and check out the “Answers to Student Questions” on page 24 & 25.

The Department of Sociology is home to several degree programs: a criminology major, a criminology minor, a

sociology major, a sociology minor, a dispute resolution certificate, and a dispute resolution minor.

“Who is a Faculty Advisor?”

At John Jay College, Faculty Advisors are professors within your major/minor department who can help you

with questions about your program that are not answered in this Guide. While your major is only 39 credits of

your 120 credit John Jay experience (a minor, 18 credits), the areas that you major and minor in shape your

career aspirations and prospects.

The Criminology, Dispute Resolution, and Sociology advisors are listed here:

http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/student-advisement-0 along with a link to make an appointment with them on

AdvisorTrac. You must make an appointment using AdvisorTrac if you have a question that cannot be

answered in this Guide.

For all other questions (pertaining to the bulk of the credit hours needed to graduate) please contact the

Academic Advisement Center. You may make an appointment online by going to

http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/academic-advisement-center. Additional contact information is included on page

Course permissions (also known as “waivers” or “overtallys”)

If a course pre-req is listed as “section instructor permission,” or you want to take a course even though you

have not completed the pre-reqs and think you deserve special consideration, you may request “course

permission” to enter the class. This happens on rare occasions. Students are encouraged to complete all pre-reqs

before taking a course to ensure they are best prepared for the course.

Please email both a faculty advisor and the instructor of the course you are requesting the waiver/course

permission for (see the Sample Email below). Explain who you are (full name), your academic standing and

program (“I m a junior in the sociology minor,” “I just transferred and declared a criminology major”), and the

words “I would like permission to enter [course name, number, and section].” Explain why you think you should

be granted a special waiver (e.g., “I took GEN 101, can that substitute for [other pre-req listed]?” or “I m 3 credits

away from being a junior, may I enroll

in your 300 level class?”).

The advisor will need your Student ID Number (EMPLID) or your birthdate to complete the waiver, if granted.

If the instructor does not “reply all,” simply forward the reply to the Advisor if permission is granted.

*Each permission is up to the individual instructor– it is their choice. Make sure you have a strong

reason for your request.

*Our department can only grant waivers for sociology (SOC) courses (e.g., Sociology cannot do a waiver for a

CRJ course).

*It is up to you to contact the instructor. If an instructor does not get back to you in a timely

manner, we suggest finding another course that fits your schedule while you complete the

pre-reqs.

SAMPLE TO EMAIL, FROM YOUR JJC OR OTHER CUNY SCHOOL EMAIL

AND NUMBER OF THE SOC COURSE, INCLUDING SECTION #]. I do not meet the pre-requisites. However, I

from http://jstop.jjay.cuny.edu/forms/Authorization for Course Substitution Application.pdf

substitution form). The Sociology Department Office is located at North Hall, third floor, N3230. Requests

will be considered, but may not always be granted. Please be aware that a maximum of three course

substitutions is permitted for each degree program.

JJC Honors Program v. Graduating with Honors in Your Major

Honors Program www.jjay.cuny.edu/honors-program

The Honors Program is a rigorous and rewarding experience. Note that continuing students (i.e., not freshmen)

may apply for the Honors Program. Students need to have a 3.3 GPA or above, and there are credit hour

prerequisites. From their website “Honors Program students take one Honors Program course each semester.

The curriculum encourages students to explore either research in their chosen disciplines or research that

addresses contemporary community problems. The latter prepares students to consider how the academy can

effectively collaborate directly with communities in addressing the common good through academic projects and

discipline-based research.

All Honors students complete a capstone experience in their senior year. In addition, the Honors Program senior

seminar brings the entire graduating class back together in the spring semester to present and discuss their

various senior projects and the relevance of these projects to the common good. The seminar provides an

opportunity for students to reflect on their roles as scholars, practitioners, and citizens of a global community.”

Honors in the Criminology & Sociology Major: Honors in the Major To qualify for honors in the major, you must have completed the credit requirements for the major and have

earned at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA in courses above the 100-level in the major. Credit for courses required as prerequisites for major courses and transfer credits applied to the major will not be calculated into the major cumulative GPA. Students must have also earned at least a 3.2 overall cumulative GPA. This honor will be noted on your transcript.

Your other questions and

issues

What To Do

Why can t I log-on on to

CUNYFirst?

New students should first check in with the Admissions Office at L.64 NB, or call 212-

564-6529. If you are not a new student, contact the epartment of Information

Technology ( oIT) in room L2.63 NB for help.

Why can t I log-on to egree

Works to get my degree audit?

Call or visit the oIT helpdesk 212-237-8200; L2.73.00 NB

Is egree Works right? My

Audit doesn t say what I think

it should say...

You can confirm if the Audit is accurate about ma or requirements by comparing it to

your Worksheet or the College Bulletin for the year you declared your program. If

there is a question about the ma or or minor, let us know. If there is a question

about Gen d, please go to the Academic Advisement Center in L.73 NB to confirm

the Audit is correct about general education requirements. ither way, AAC are the

e perts who can fi any mistakes in egree Works, not a Faculty Advisor.

Why won t Financial Aid cover

a double ma or?

Special notes to students electing a double ma or The overlap between your two

ma ors must be no more than si credits, financial aid will only pay for courses in

your primary ma or.

You cannot have a minor that is in the same academic field as either ma or, and you

must follow the new catalog year for degree requirements when electing your ma or

regardless of the year you entered John Jay College. See bulletin for details. For

other Financial Aid questions, visit the Jay press counter, main floor (L) NB, near

11th

Avenue.

Why won t TAP/Financial Aid

allow me to have a semester of

all non-ma or classes when the

ma or is only 36 credits?

TAP prefers 12 credits of ma or and/or general education requirements each

semester. If you are concerned about taking minor credits or other elective credits,

please visit Jay press to confirm whether there would be Financial Aid

repercussions or not. For this and other Financial Aid questions, visit the Jay press

counter, main floor (L) NB, near 11th Avenue.

How do I find my Student I

(also known as you MPLI )?

Go to this website and fill out the form to obtain your I number if you have

forgotten it. https // stop. ay.cuny.edu/student_emplid.php

Can I take a class at another

campus if it is not offered here

at JJC?

Refer to the guidelines here

http // stop. ay.cuny.edu/forms/JJay PermitGuidelines.pdf and visit Jay

press. There are different procedures depending on whether you want to attend a

CUNY school or a non-CUNY school. You would have to apply for a permit to a CUNY

school through the CUNY Portal, and for a non-CUNY school, there is an on-line form

at The Jay Stop http // stop. ay.cuny.edu/ that you may download.

How do I figure out which

College Bulletin to check for my

degree program(s)?

It is important that you use the T RM (semester) and the Y AR when finding the

Bulletin for your program, e.g., Fall 2014. For e ample, if a student declared the

Sociology ma or in Spring 2015, you would use the 2014-2015 Bulletin. Note that

continuing students (as distinct from new transfers & new freshmen) who declare

their ma or during the summer months are beholden to the previous academic year's

Bulletin.

25

Your other questions and

issues

What To Do

How many classes can I overlap

or “double dip” between my

ma or and my minor?

To satisfy the requirements of any degree program, no more than two courses (of 3

credits or more) may overlap between a ma or and a minor, a ma or and a second

ma or, a minor and a second minor, or a certificate program and any other degree

program. Credits earned from internships and independent studies may not be

included in the two courses of overlap.

I got an F in a class, but I re-took

it. What s my GPA now?

The grade of F, WU or WN is ot computed in the grade point average when a

student repeats the failed course and receives a grade of C or better. The original F,

WU or WN, however, remains on the student s official transcript. The number of

failing credits that can be omitted from the grade point average in this manner is

limited to 16 for the duration of the student s undergraduate enrollment in CUNY.

Repeated courses must be taken at John Jay.

How many times can I try to get

a better grade in a class that I

failed?

Students who receive the grade of F, FIN or WU in a required course must repeat the

course at the ne t earliest opportunity. However, students who receive the grade of

F, W, WU, or FIN—or any combination of these grades—thr ti s for the same

course shall be barred from registering the following semester because the student

is not making appropriate progress toward a degree. A stop shall be placed on the

registration of such students by the Registrar and the student will have to take

several steps to remedy the situation.

Can I double ma or? Students are allowed to double ma or. Be sure to consider this decision carefully. We

encourage students to seek a minor in one of the areas you are considering ma oring

in. Think about getting done sooner and focusing on other certification, a master s

degree, or Ph programs . Also see “Why won t Financial Aid cover a double ma or?”

on the previous page.

Students can choose to pursue two separate ma ors after they have earned at least

12 college credits. They must elect ma ors that are 45 credits or less. Students must

complete each of the degree requirements entirely.

I want to know more about

services to help me succeed on

campus– where do I look?

Student Success offers a range of programs and services, such as tutoring, the Pre-

Law Institute, fellowships and scholarships, and more. Links can be found here on

the John Jay website http //www. ay.cuny.edu/student-success

How many classes can I take

each semester?

Freshmen and sophomores are permitted to register for five courses each semester;

uniors and seniors may register for si . Sophomores, uniors and seniors with grade

point averages of 3.30 or above may e ceed these limits by one course. The

foregoing limits may be e ceeded by enrolling in a physical education activity course

that awards 1 credit. uring summer sessions, students may register for up to 6

credits per session. ceptions to this policy can be made by the ean of

Undergraduate Studies, the irector of Undergraduate Studies, or the Registrar.
