Registration and Course Adjustment Procedures

-See "Registration and Student Records Handbook" for important registration policies and procedures.

 

Initial Registration

Students should prepare their schedule by going to www.jmu.edu/registrar,clicking on ECAMPUS and doing a Class Search. Discuss your schedule with your adviser and clear all holds or other obligations that may hold your registration. Obtain needed special approvals before you register (see Permission to Enroll (override), Audit under Grading Basis, Repeating courses, Overload Approval and Academic Advising in the Registration and Student Records Handbook). Check for closed course listings and class schedule updates on the web at ecampus.jmu.edu and make substitutions in your schedule if your first choice selections are not available.

Course Adjustment (Credit Option Changes, Drop/Add, Withdrawal)

Registered students may adjust their schedule through the deadlines stated in the Office of the Registrar Dates and Deadlines section.

Special Notes

Students who have applied as new undergraduates, graduates or special students and who have not received confirmation of acceptance by their assigned registration time should contact the appropriate admitting office.

Registration Holds: Outstanding obligations or debts to university offices may result in a hold on your registration. The fact that a student did not receive a notice of a hold is insufficient reason to cause the hold to be released. Students must contact the office placing the hold for clearance.

Snow Days: Students who have a conflict with summer school dates because of making up snow days or emergency conditions should contact the academic unit head offering the course(s) to arrange a late registration time.

Web Registration and Course Adjustment

Students may register or adjust their schedule on the web daily beginning at their registration appointment time. Undergraduate appointment times are scheduled in priority order according to the cumulative hours earned as of the beginning of the 2008 spring semester. Students will need to check the web to find their specific appointment start time. Specific appointments are assigned by credit hours earned in 15 minute increments. Students may register anytime after their appointment start time, until the drop/add and course adjustment deadlines for that session.

March Registration Appointments

Students must check e-campus to see their specific appointment start time.

Level	Appointment Date
Seniors	March 17
Juniors	March 18 - 19
Sophomores	March 19 - 20
Freshman	March 20

Graduate and Doctoral students may register through the deadlines anytime the system is available beginning at 8:00 a.m. March 17.

Special Students may register through the deadlines anytime the system is available beginning March 24.

Once you have reached your appointment start time you can register for summer anytime you have access to the system until the drop/add and course adjustment deadline for each particular session. During your fall pre-registration window in April you may also adjust courses for the summer term.

For assistance with registration, please contact Registration Services on the 3rd floor of Warren Hall. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday. You may also call 568-3737.

Academic Suspension

Summer - Students who were placed on academic suspension at the end of the spring semester, 2008, may attend summer session and attempt to re-qualify for future attendance, without reapplying. Suspended students who have not attended JMU for two or more calendar years must apply for readmission to the university. Applications are available in the Office of Admissions, Sonner Hall. Suspended students who have been away for less than two years must submit the Intent to Enroll form no later than April 1, 2008 to the Director of Academic Student Services.

The strategy employed to re-qualify for attendance is critically important. Therefore, suspended undergraduates attending summer session must attend a workshop held by Academic Student Services on Wednesday, May 21 in Health and Human Services (HHS), Room 2301 at 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. By not attending this workshop, suspended undergraduates will be dropped from (or not permitted to register for) classes in the six-week and second four-week summer session.

 

Who's Eligible to Attend Summer Session:

Graduates and Undergraduates enrolled at JMU during the 2008 spring semester.

New degree-seeking undergraduates offered admission to the 2008 fall semester (the Office of Admissions should be contacted to request a change in the date of entry).

New degree-seeking graduates offered admission to the 2008 fall semester.

Special students who have submitted a special student enrollment form to Outreach Programs for the summer session. (Special students must submit an enrollment form for each semester or summer that they wish to attend).

You must apply for admission to JMU if you are seeking:

Admission as a new undergraduate.

Admission as a new graduate student.

Admission as a re-entry undergraduate (*a student who has not been enrolled in course work in the past two years, a $50.00 reapplication fee).

Admission as a re-entry graduate student (a graduate student who was not enrolled in course work in the previous term).

Special student wishing to enroll in summer session course work.

*Undergraduates who have not attended JMU for one or more semesters but less than two years must complete the 'Intent to Enroll' postmarked no later than April 1, 2008. Students who left in good standing should submit the form to the Office of the Registrar. Students who left on probation or suspension must submit the form to the Director of Academic Student Services.
