1John Jay CollegeCommittee on Academic Policy, Programs, and Research Report DetailJune 2020
2Section AII: Changes in Generic Degree RequirementsAII. 1 Addition of a Policy on Freshman ForgivenessEffective September 1, 2020, the college will implement a Freshman Forgiveness Policy. This policy will apply to all lower freshmanstudents, as defined below, who enrolled at the college in the Spring 2020 term or thereafter. In accordance with this new policy, ifthe student passes the suite of freshman courses, they will receive the grade earned which will carry the designated GPA. If thestudent fails a course, the failing grade (F, WU, FIN) will be administratively converted to “NC – No Credit,” and have no impact onthe GPA. (Restrictions and Limitations apply, see below).The chart below outlines how the Office of the Registrar will treat repeated courses and grades.Original GradeA, B, C, D, P, CR, (incl allplus and minus grades)F, WU, FINGrade ActionNoneEffect on Credits Earned and GPAGrades are factored into GPA and credits are earned.INC, PENAdministratively Changed to “NC-NoCredit” for Lower FreshmenNoneW, WA, WN,NoneGPA will increase due to a grade change from failing toNC. No credits earned for NC coursesConsidered “in progress” grades. If failing grades areultimately assigned, forgiveness rules applyNo effect on GPA – No credits earned for coursesRestrictions1. This policy applies only to a freshman student (attending full-time or part-time) in their first freshman semester,(aka., Lower Freshman).a. A lower freshman is defined as a new student who has not previously matriculated in a college, as a degree-seeking student,prior to their first term of attendance at John Jay.b. A lower freshman is coded by the Office of Admissions as being in the “FRSH” Student Group in CUNYFirst.c. Entering freshman with college credits earned through Regents examination, AP credit, or other exams (i.e., CLEP) are stilleligible for forgiveness under this policy.d. Transfer students, coded as “TRNS,” who enter into the Upper Freshman level or beyond are not eligible for forgivenessunder this policy.2. This policy is effective for lower freshman students enrolled in the college beginning the Spring 2020 term and thereafter. It cannotbe applied retroactively to any semester prior to Spring 2020.3. This policy will not apply to readmitted students who return to the freshman term.a. For this restriction, a readmitted student is considered a student who attended the college and received letter grades.4 This policy applies to matriculated, undergraduate, degree-seeking students. Non-degree students are ineligible for forgivenessunder this policy.
35. For the purpose of this policy, failing grades are considered; “F, WU, FIN.”6. Students who receive grades of “NC” are not eligible for the Dean’s List for that semester or that year for part-time students.7. For the purpose of calculating Latin Honor’s, NC grades will be treated as failing grades.Limitations1. The Freshman Forgiveness Policy only applies to courses taken in the first, lower freshman semester of matriculation. It will notapply to any courses taken thereafter.2. Freshman students enrolled less than Full-Time in the lower freshman semester will be permitted to apply the forgiveness policy tothe first 18 credits earned at John Jay College.3. This policy applies only to courses taken at John Jay College. Courses taken at another college (CUNY or otherwise) are noteligible for forgiveness under this policy.4. Courses with a grade assigned of “NC-No Credit” may negatively impact a student’s financial aid, (i.e., Satisfactory AcademicProgress, Program Pursuit and Credit Accumulation) eligibility. It is strongly recommended that students meet with a financialaid counselor prior to the forgiveness policy being applied.5. A student who repeats a course that has been assigned an NC grade in the prior term will receive a standard letter grade on thesecond attempt.ExplanationAccording to John Jay College’s “Fall 2018 Fact Book,” published by the Office of Institutional Research, the percentage of first-time,full-time, degree-seeking freshmen, still enrolled at the college after the first year is 79.9%. Approximately 20% of the incomingfreshman class is absent after the first year. Performance data after the freshman year reflects that over half of the freshman classattrition is due to a probation/dismissal action. This policy seeks to assist first-time lower freshman students, who are new to thecollege experience, by removing the failing grades that place them in academic /files/u1376/fact book 2018 rev.pdfSee pg. 30 in the Fall 2018 Fact Book.
