The first step in your application process is submitting an application to the JMU Graduate School and providing all information requested.

What You’ll Need Before Applying

To ensure a smooth application process, be prepared with the following:

• Unofficial transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended.  This includes:
  • The college or university from which you graduated (or will graduate).
  • Any additional institutions where you completed coursework.
• Payment for the JMU Graduate School application fee or an approved fee waiver. Learn more or apply for a graduate application fee waiver here.
• International applicants should check with the Graduate School for any additional requirements.
