Make Your Deposit

Get started on your JMU journey today and make your deposit. Payments must be postmarked or submitted online by May 1 for freshman or, for transfer students, by the date listed in your admissions packet.

To pay online, you'll need your 9-digit student ID number found on your deposit invoice. (In fact, it's a good idea to memorize your student ID before you get to campus — you'll need it often!)
