Plan your trip wisely and accordingly:

U.S students may enroll in Academic Health Insurance Plan provided specifically for JMU students. More information, can be found on the Student Health Center's webpage.

 

Tuition & Payment:     |  Back to top   |

  • To obtain an estimated breakdown of the expenses that you can expect as a JMU student, go to t the University Business Office’s website. Please note that the cost of textbooks (approximately $300/semester), for example, is not included! 

  • To view your bill, you need to login to QuickBill by accessing it on e-campus (for students). QuikBill provides you and your family with instant access to your student account charges. QuikBill is currently configured so that the student is the only who can view and pay his or her bill online through this system. If a family member or sponsor of that student needs access to QuikBill, the student will need to enable this individual to view and/or pay the bill by creating an account for this individual. Also through QuickBill, an installment payment plan can be set-up. To make payments towards your tuition and bills, you can:

  • wire funds to JMU. Contact Electronic Funds Coordinator: Tammy L Kiser - (540) 568-7909

  • pay online by credit card. [Please note that JMU handles MasterCard, American Express or the Discovery card only].

  • Set-up a bank account in the U.S. This will facilitate the transfer of funds from your home country to the U.S. You will then be able to write checks and/or transfer money directly from your bank account to your JMU student account online. A trip to the downtown Bank of America will be scheduled during the first or second week of classes.
