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 understand your curriculum and connect you to resources that will help you be suc- cessful. Developing a good relationship with your advisor is a great way to stay well-informed and to start off your time at JMU strong. What you do: ◆ Know who your academic advisor is and how to reach out for assistance ◆ Ask your advisor questions about things you don’t know ◆ Know how to fulfill degree, major and general education requirements

Begin by working through the Prepare for Enrollment module to get ready to enroll in classes in June. Information is organized in four modules with great detail so we recommend reviewing the modules multiple times. Located inside the modules, your 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.

What academic advisors do: ◆ Discuss academic choices with regards to long- term academic and career goals ◆ Address questions and concerns regarding General Education, major and degree requirements ◆ Help with academic planning, decision-making and with identification of other campus resources (as needed)

Additional majors and/

or minors can be added after fall classes begin.
