First Year Housing Contract COMPLETE BY MAY 31 Signing your Housing Contract is the first part of securing your housing for your first year. When you sign your Housing Contract, you will also select your meal plan and answer some lifestyle questions. The answers to those questions will help you select a roommate, so be sure to answer them honestly. Residential housing JMU prides itself on our outstanding residence halls! Each mixed-gender hall has a variety of ameni- ties, including kitchen facilities, study lounges, wireless internet and recreational features. Like many other universities, not all JMU’s halls are air-conditioned. Only about half of our halls have this feature. To beat the heat, we encourage you to bring a box fan for your window. Each hall contains at least one air-conditioned space, typically the TV lounge. Housing accommodations If you have a disability, please remember to request housing accommodations, if needed. Residence Life does not have access to the information you share with the University Health Center. If you need an accommodation like air-conditioning or a suite-style bathroom, you will need to request housing accommodations. Submit the form by June 13. Gender-neutral housing To support all our new Dukes, we encourage you to contact Residence Life about housing assign- ments based on gender identity. Each request made before July 1 will be addressed with a commit- ment to providing a housing assignment that best meets the needs of the student.
