Hey everybody, I’m having some problems signing up for classes and wondering if anyone knows a work around or something. I’m trying to get a class but it says I don’t meet the pre-requisites(I’m taking this semester). My friend said he called the department(chemistry) and they fixed it for him, but when I called they told me to send an email, and I did so at 10AM, without response all day. Is there anything I can do on my end or do I just have to wait for them? Thank you!
Hey everyone, I'm trying to get my personal wellness course done as soon as I can. (I'm in the BIS ECED program.) What's Dr. Luden like? What exercises does he have you do? Are the exercises difficult in any way?

Has anyone received their decision yet for spring? I didn’t do guaranteed admission so I was wondering if anyone that also hadn’t has gotten anything back yet?
YSK that you can vote in VA, even if you are not yet registered. Virginia allows same day voter registration. Voting is your right!

hello so i am considering transferring to jmu for fall 2025. i will have 33 credits by the time of fall 2025, my gpa from this semester will be a 3.8 and i checked on transferology and it says only 2 of those classes dont transfer which still puts me in a good spot for the amount of credits. anyway just asking for hat do you feel my chances are! anything i should do specifically to give myself a higher chance!
I remember finding this my sophomore year and now I need it again but can’t remember the name. I’m trying to get into a class that filled up and there doesn’t appear to be a waitlist option. Anyone know what I could use? I thought it was Coursicle but it’s not working for this.
Do you have to add whatever class being a ta counts as when you enroll. I’m looking to be a ta and it counts for credit cuz it’s listed as an upper level class but when I look for it in the schedule planner it isn’t there.
I need four electives what are good recommendations??
When are spring classes open for enrollment? Also how do I find my academic advisor? Is it on MyMadlson. Thanks from a clueless transfer student.
We have a group of a dozen or so of us comprised of alum and spouses who are coming in next weekend. Unfortunately, we’re in our mid (to late…..) 30s, and all our old haunts are closed.
Any recommendations for good restaurants or bars in town for an older crowd? We’re Dukes at heart so down to have a good time and have a few too many, but probably mostly aged out of the college scene.
Any alumni remember the name of a journalism professor Skip something? I remember him being a great guy but I just can’t remember his name.
Hello, I’m trying to determine if Professor Caitlin Gill is a suitable instructor for Art 200 online. RateMyProfessor only has three harsh reviews, and I’m interested in opinions from students who took her class this semester or even last semester.
I want to go out and have fun tonight and this weekend, but I am kind of introverted and am struggling to find a group to go with. Any suggestions?
my boyfriends coming for halloweekend and i was wondering if there are any frats that tend to not charge men, and if not which frats tend to be cheaper than others. i was also wondering if you can usually just pay at the door or if u have to somehow pay in advance
I'm planning on taking Isat 112 with a lab for the physical principle section for gen eds, but I also still need a class for the natural systems section. Anyone got a suggestion for an easy one?
I've never gone to a game without the student ticket, so I was curious about something since I wasn't able t to get one this morning for the next game. If I get a ticket from seatgeek can I still sit in the student section? Or do I have to sit elsewhere?
This is my first year living off campus and I’m in a townhouse. Do kids trick or treat at houses near campus? I’d kinda feel bad if they do and I didn’t get any candy for them
Hey me and some friends are looking for some cardboard boxes to make out Halloween costume. Where can we find some
Hello Dukes, I am looking to sublease my room at a 4-room, 2-bath apartment at Hills Northview for the Spring 2025 semester. The rent is $475 per month, and most utilities except electricity, which is capped at $30 per month, are included in the monthly rent. You will be living with three laid-back guys during your time here.
I’m looking at the classes for next semester and a class I’d like to take comes with a lab. The thing is, the lab time listed overlaps with the class time. How is that possible?
This will be a longer than normal post, but I do have a few things to ask! Thank you to anyone who takes the time out of their day to read this! But I feel like if you read the reddit you're my target audience
So I will be finishing my time up at a VCCS( Virginia Community College) at the end up this Fall '24 semester! I plan on coming to JMU in Fall '25!! Sooooooo diving in........
Major - I currently work in a hotel , and I LOVE IT. Ever since I was little I wanted to work in a hotel, the second I turned 18 I got a job at one. I want to really apply/major in the HM program at JMU but don't know what it is really like. Virginia Tech has a nice page showing off their HM program but JMU's is a little different almost....unless I'm at the wrong place/site. Mainly because, I want to really make my life this industry, but don't know if I should just get a management degree instead of the hospitality.. If you're a current or former student pls help!! Also will I get judged, I know this is an easy major; but will the outcome be worth it?
Housing - I've seen on their transfer website/webpage that if you transfer you might as well just get off-campus housing. I plan on doing this, but how do I go about it? Just try and find my cliche but have never gone to the actually school. This is important to me because I'm a gay male, I know some dudes/girls don't have a problem but some almost want to know about it before hand. Or, what are some good places to live. If you transferred from a CC to JMU please tell me about your experience!!
General living- As mentioned before I am gay. What would you say that would be like for someone who is gay?? I'm not much of a party person, but will want a good time out and about.
Your thoughts - I've heard a lot of good things about JMU, from their sports to food, to living. I know my major isn't the biggest nor money making. But do you think JMU will be a good school for me??
If you read all of this thank you!! You're a kind soul, if the grammar is bad sorry! My phone is tweaking
