This program allows students to meet individually with an Admissions Counselor to discuss their likelihood of being admitted to JMU before submitting an application. This event is NOT for students applying through a Guaranteed Admissions Agreement with a Virginia Community College.

An appointment is required.

What to Bring:

In order to conduct an on-site admissions appointment, you must bring a physical copy of your transcripts or send your transcripts electronically prior to your appointment*. This includes:

*Physical copies of transcripts must be in envelopes sealed by the issuing institution. If you have sent your documents electronically, please email transferadmissions@jmu.edu, at least 1 day prior to your appointment to verify they have been received. 

Please Note: If you are unable to have these items in hand at the time of your appointment, please cancel your appointment to allow someone else to attend. Please make sure to bring these transcripts with you to your appointment rather than mailing them to the Office of Admissions.

For transcripts to be considered official, they must be sent through a secure provider such as Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, etc. to James Madison University - Undergraduate Admissions or be sent through US Postal mail.

If sending through a secure provider:

• Please be sure to send to a college/school not to an individual/email address. List James Madison University as the recipient.
• When asked to select a department, please list Undergraduate Admissions.

We do recommend that you retain your confirmation email until you see the to-do list item drop off your checklist.

If sending by mail, please use the following address:

James Madison University
Office of Admissions – MSC 0101
100 E Grace Street
Harrisonburg, VA 22807

Any transcripts sent as an email attachment or fax are considered unofficial and will not be reviewed.
