The Center for Global Engagement's International Student and Scholar Services team is looking forward to meeting you in person on August 19 for International Student Orientation!
The ISSS team has been hard at work preparing for your arrival. As you take next steps to prepare for your departure, the links below will provide you with resources that we hope will make this process easier. Please review these pages and contact ISSS if you have any questions!
New Student Checklist
The New Student Checklist is where you will complete necessary steps to begin your journey at JMU! These steps will help you activate your JMU Dukes email account, confirm your housing assignment, select classes, and more!
In MyMadison, you will be asked to enter your cell phone number for emergency notifications. If you do not have a US phone number, select the option of receiving emergency notifications via e-mail. You will be able to update your information once you have a US phone number.
If you have other questions about completing the New Student Checklist steps, please contact the Orientation Office at orientation@jmu.edu.
