We would love for you to visit campus! We offer the traditional campus visit with an informational session led by an admissions counselor and a walking tour of campus.
We recommend that you contact us at least two weeks prior to your visit as the Visitation Schedule is subject to change. For individual students wishing to visit JMU please select a date from the schedule, and you will be taken to the reservation form. Once this form has been submitted, you will receive an automatic electronic confirmation which will include directions and local lodging information. For groups with ten or more students, you will need to submit the Group Visit Request Form. Once this form has been submitted, we begin processing your request and contact you soon regarding your request.
Before your visit you can preview the university by taking a virtual tour in addition to viewing a powerpoint presentation!
The Virtual Campus Tour is hosted by www.ecampustours.com and will open in a new window. We hope you enjoy your virtual tour and look forward to welcoming you to campus!
