Spring registration starts October
28th!
Many of you have or will have questions
regarding your registration process, so I hope to answer most of those
questions here.
1.
How are the appointment times for registration
determined?
The order for registration is based on the
number of credits you have, so students with more credits will register before
students with less credits - freshmen will likely be some of the last
students. Honors students, athletes,
students with disabilities will be assigned earlier appointments.
2.
When is my appointment time?
Undergraduate appointments are assigned in 15-minute increments by
credit hours earned. You may register any time after your assigned registration
start time, but not before.
A chart giving the appointment start times per range of credit hours
is shown below. You will need to check your student center on MyMadison to find
your appointment start time: http://www.jmu.edu/registrar/wm_library/appointment_finder.pdf

Can I meet with my advisor to go over my schedule
ahead of time?
Absolutely. You should make
an appointment with your advisor well in advance of your actual enrollment time
to ensure that you have ample time to figure out your schedule.
You can schedule an appointment time with
Tiffany at
5.
Where is my registration appointment?
You can enroll anywhere as long as you have a computer and internet
access - on-campus, in a computer lab, at home, Starbucks, wherever!
6.
How many credits should I take?
You must have at least 12 credit hours to be considered a full-time
student, but you can register for up to 17 hours during your appointment
time. Once open enrollment starts (after
everyone has had a chance to get their classes, the system will open up to
everyone), then you can add up to 19 hours without permission. Anything more than 19 credit hours will
require permission from Tiffany Newbold.
7.
Where can I get help when enrolling in classes?
8.
Can I repeat a course next semester if I don’t
do well this fall?
A student may repeat any of the courses that he or she has taken at
JMU except courses originally taken and passed on a credit/no credit
basis. All grades will be included when calculating the student's grade
point average. There are, however, certain exceptions to this rule.
Students may elect to repeat up to two courses during their enrollment
at JMU on a "repeat forgiveness" basis. As a result of the
"repeat forgiveness" option, the university will exclude the previous
grade and credit hours earned for the repeated course when it calculates the student's
cumulative GPA and earned credit hours total, regardless of whether the
previous grade was higher or lower than the repeat attempt. Both grades will
appear on the transcript. The student must either declare the "repeat
forgiveness" option at registration or complete the appropriate adjustment
form prior to the end of the course adjustment period. A student may not
exercise the repeat/forgiveness option for courses in which that student was
assigned a grade as a result of an Honor Code violation. Courses taught
on a topic basis are repeatable; however, these courses may only be designated
with a repeat credit or repeat/forgiveness credit option if both course
attempts have the same topic (i.e. a second attempt of the course GHUM 200
“Western Classics” may only be assigned as a repeat credit or
repeat/forgiveness credit if the original attempt of GHUM 200 was taken with
the topic “Western Classics”).
All grades will appear on the student's
transcript, but a course that has been repeated will only be counted once
toward satisfying graduation requirements.
Courses taken at other universities do not qualify to be
taken as repeat/forgiveness.
A “C” or better must be earned in all Engineering required courses (or
approved equivalents):
◦
MATH 231 & 232 or 235, 236, 237, 238
◦
PHYS 240, 140L, 250, 150L
◦
CHEM 131, 131L and CHEM 132, 132L or CHEM 133E, 133LE
◦
ENGR 112, 212, 221, 231, 232
Any of the above courses may only be repeated once to be considered for
admission.
9.
What if I need a class that is closed?
A class that has been set up to use the
waitlist feature will display to you with a yellow triangle once the course has
filled.
You can request to be added to the waitlist for any class that uses
it. However, you will not be added to
the waitlist if you do not meet the course requisites or reserve cap.
You will not be enrolled in the course from the
waitlist if you:
- have a time conflict with another class
- have a negative service indicator or “hold” preventing enrollment
- have reached your semester unit load maximum
You will be able to view your waitlisted
classes on your Class Schedule:
10.What if I have a
hold on my account?
You will need to determine why you have the
hold on your account. You may do this by
clicking on the hold and following the instructions to clear it up. Some holds will not allow you to register for
classes, so make sure you take care of these holds prior to your enrollment
time.
11.What if my
schedule doesn’t look like any of the ones above?
Please make an appointment with your advisor to
go over any details that have not been covered above.
You can schedule an appointment time with
Tiffany at
