Prepare for Class Enrollment
MAY 26
COMPLETE BY
If you wish to add a second major and/or any minors, these can be added after fall classes begin.
Begin by working through the Prepare for Enrollment modules to get ready to enroll in classes in June. The infor- mation in the modules is very important, so please allow time to review them completely. The 1st Semester Enrollment Worksheet identifies classes you need to enroll in for the first semester. The information is major-based. You will declare only one major and enroll in those major-specific classes. Your first-year advisor will reach out on June 8 to provide additional information and helpful tips about enrollment. Once your enrollment appointment opens on June 21, you will have access to enroll through the last day of Orientation. We recommend you enroll when your appointment begins as seats fill fast, but feel free to continue checking for openings. Plan to attend Orientation enrolled in a fall schedule of 14-17 credit hours. Your academic advisor One of your most important relationships at JMU will be with your academic advisor. Your academic advisor will assist you through your transition to JMU, help you under- stand your curriculum and academic policies, and connect you to resources that will help you be successful. Devel- oping a good relationship with your advisor is a great way to stay well-informed and to start off your time at JMU strong. Knowing both what you (as the student) and your advisor are responsible for in the advisor/advisee relation- ship can really benefit you!
