Transfer Summer Springboard 2009

June 1, 2, 4, and 5

 

If you've been to one college orientation you've been to them all, right? WRONG! All orientation programs are not created equal. JMU's transfer orientation program is specifically tailored to addressing the issues and concerns of incoming transfer students. We hired students that have transferred into JMU to work with you and assist you in your transition because we know that they can relate to your experience.

 

Our program is focused on helping you understand JMU's policies, procedures and culture, which may differ from your current/previous institution. In addition to learning some valuable information, you will also register for your first semester of classes during transfer orientation. If you need extra incentive to attend, consider the following:

 

• JMU cannot guarantee the same level of course availability in your intended major as we are able to offer during Transfer Orientation.

 

• You will be responsible for contacting the academic department in which you intend to major to make an appointment with your academic adviser. Due to JMU's academic schedule, academic advisers and departmental faculty may not be available to meet with you until the week(s) immediately preceding your first semester at which time course availability is extremely limited

 

• All incoming student accounts are automatically billed the standard orientation fee. This non-refundable fee is charged to every student, whether or not they choose to attend orientation.

 

• Unfortunately, there is no make up orientation session.

 

 

Be open to the JMU learning experience and we promise that you will feel more like a member of the JMU community once you complete orientation. Click here to begin your transition to JMU.
