Most universities do not offer a refund on deposits. Do not make a deposit to JMU if you are on the waitlist. We cannot accept a deposit until you have been offered an official acceptance to the university. Orientation dates for new freshmen run from July 2nd to July 19th and class schedules are finalized at the end of July. You will have access to the same classes as all other freshmen.
Housing is available for all freshmen students.
Housing assignments are not finalized until the end of July. Your eligibility for financial aid will not change. However, you may want to contact that office as soon as you are admitted to see how the timing of an award may be affected. Payment of fall bills will be due around August 17. You must weigh that choice carefully for yourself.
