Accommodations
Availability varies per year, and we can find an on-campus housing option that suits your budget and preferences, but you are also welcome to arrange off-campus housing for your camp/conference.
Two (2) weeks prior to arrival, your Housing Guarantee (stating how many guests in single/double occupancy rooms) is due and will be billed unless actuals are higher.
All Residence Hall rules, regulations, and policies are in effect for camp/conference guests.
To have an Emotional Support Animal with you in our residence halls during your camp/conference, you must follow the Housing Accommodation Request Process.

Outreach & Engagement Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is the most commonly used form of recognition and documentation for noncredit continuing education courses and programs. Outreach & Engagement is the official University office responsible for awarding CEUs. Instructors and coordinators who wish to offer CEUs must complete the Non-credit Report/CEU Request form and submit it to Outreach & Engagement. Submission of this form initiates the approval process for granting CEUs.
It is solely up to the certifying agency, not JMU, whether to accept or decline CEUs.
