Honors Academic Advising

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to promote social distancing, the Honors College has moved to online academic advising. 

You can contact Honors College advisors using the following methods:

• Email: honors-advising@jmu.edu

Mr. Jared Diener is available for appointments M-F 10-12 & 1-4. You can schedule a meeting by phone, Apple FaceTime, Zoom, Google Hangout, WebEx, or another platform of your choice, which you will indicate in your booking. We want to make it as simple and easy as possible for you to connect with us.

The Honors College provides specialized academic advising to current and prospective JMU Honors students. Our advising team provides assistance with the following:

• Developing an Honors curricular pathway that is unique to each student's academic goals
• Explaining requirements for Honors, General Education, and degree programs
• Academic planning and decision-making
• Referrals to campus resources

Honors advising does not replace the advising that students receive from their other advisor(s). Rather, our advising team serves as the primary contact for all Honors-related questions and as an additional resource for other academic and university matters.

Prospective students are welcome and encouraged to meet with an advisor to discuss admission procedures and the Honors curriculum.
