Prepare for Registration

Based on previous years, I anticipate that registration for most freshman will begin around November 5. That’s a ways off! Between now and then, though, you need to do some things to make that go as smooth as possible. In the next two weeks, make sure you do the following if you haven’t already:

Clear MyMadison Holds

Login to MyMadison and enter the Student Center. If you see "No Enrollment Activity” or “Withhold all services,” you will not be able to register for spring semester courses until you take care of the hold. Click "details" and then "No Enrollment Activity" to learn who has placed the hold on you and how you contact them to learn what you need to do to get the hold lifted. Some of you may have more than one hold. For example, if you did not complete your Health Record Form and return it to the University Health Center, you will have a hold on your account, restricting you from registering for spring semester courses.

Submit Previously Earned Credit

In order to determine what courses to take for next semester, it’s important to have the most up-to-date information regarding what credit you’ve already received. Review previous blog posts, to learn if JMU has your AP, CIE, IB, and  dual enrollment credit and if not, how to submit it to JMU.

Identify Your Foreign Language Placement

If you’re interested in continuing with the language(s) you took in high school, you must take the corresponding Foreign Language Placement exam online; then, check out what your score means. If you’ve already taken the test, you can find your Foreign Language Placement Score on e-campus. In the drop-down menu, select View Test Scores.If you want to continue in a language that there is not an online placement test for, then you need to talk to the head professor in that language as listed on the Modern Foreign Language Department’s webpage. If you have studied another language you believe should count as a foreign language, you will need to speak to the Department head, Dr. Fazzion. Learn more at  the Modern Foreign Language Department’s Placement Exam website.

Schedule Meeting with Your Advisor!

As outlined in your advising syllabus, beginning the week of October 6 meetings will begin to plan for  what courses you should/can enroll in for spring semester. Please email me your availability for the week you are scheduled to meet based on your last name!
