Here are a few precautions to consider or steps to take to resolve the issue:

  • Write down the error message for future reference
  • Check to ensure you are typing in your correct JMU eID and password
  • Check to ensure you are not using your “dukes” email password if you have already set up your email account.
  • If you are unsure of your eID password, use the "Forgot Your Password" link on the MyMadison login page.
  • Clear your browser cache to clear stored data that may prevent logging into sites.
  • Ensure JavaScript and cookies are enabled.
  • Try a different browser, such as IE, Firefox, or Safari and ensure you have the correct browser settings.
