Our goal is to ensure you have the tools to begin your journey at JMU. Inside you’ll find requirements and deadlines for the next few months to ease your transition to JMU. It might seem like a lot to handle at once, but this book shows the tasks step-by-step. Access your steps using your JMU eID and password. Your eID is your electronic identification used to access MyMadison, Canvas and other ser- vices. It is usually the first six characters of your last name, followed by your first and middle initials. For instance, Dolley Payne Madison would be mad- isodp.
