Signing up for classes

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!

Kin 100 with Luden

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?

Rock the vote in Rocktown!

YSK that you can vote in VA, even if you are not yet registered. Virginia allows same day voter registration. Voting is your right!

App that notifies you when a spot opens for a closed class?

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.

Question about being a ta

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.

Alum Group Recommendations

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.

Has anyone taken Art200 with Caitlin Gill?

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.

Football tickets

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?

Should I buy candy for Halloween

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

Cheap Sublease for Spring 2025

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.

Lab listed at same time as class

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?

Questions for current students ( if you’re a hospitality major pls read!)

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........

  1. 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?

  2. 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!!

  3. 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.

  4. 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
