Paying Your Deposit

Included in your acceptance packet is an invoice used to pay your tuition deposit. Paying this deposit is your official way of accepting our offer of admission; your deposit is credited toward your tuition bill. Your deposit is due postmarked by the deadline indicated in your acceptance packet. Once your deposit is received and processed, you'll start to receive additional information from key offices at the university that are ready to welcome you to JMU!

Paying Your Deposit Online:

  1. You will need your student ID number.  This is a nine-digit number found on your deposit invoice.
  2. Go to the JMU credit card payment site.
  3. Follow the instructions on the credit card payment site.  Please be careful not to double click the payment buttons as this will result in a double payment.

For additional information on payments please see the University Business Office.

Paying Your Deposit by Mail.

Please be sure that your deposit is postmarked by the deadline. We will accept your deposit sent regular mail with a postmark on or before the noted deadline in your acceptance packet. If you have misplaced your deposit envelope please contact the Office of Admissions for advice and guidance.
