Financial Aid

If you received a Federal Stafford Loan while at JMU and were suspended, you must receive exit counseling after you stop taking classes. A packet of information will be mailed to you with forms to complete and return or you can do this online at James Madison University - Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships. The six-month grace period for these loans begins the last day you attended, even if you plan to return to JMU. If you return to JMU, you may or may not be eligible for federal financial aid as determined by the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. You may obtain a copy of the SAP policy from the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. If you are denied aid, you are responsible for finding other means to pay for your educational expenses.

Residence Life

If you are living on-campus in a residence hall or on Greek Row, you must meet the terms and conditions of the JMU Residential Contract. You should contact the Office of Residence Life (540-568-4663) to officially check out of your assignment.
