Applying as a JMU Employee
We believe in higher education and the continued development of our faculty and staff members. JMU employees may therefore be eligible to enroll in credit courses on a part-time basis and have tuition waived. Full and part-time faculty and staff, non-student wage employees and emeritus faculty and staff are eligible under the policies below.
What kind of student are you?
Non-Degree-Seeking
Will you be taking 11 or fewer credit hours in total? If so, you are a non-degree seeking student. The policies and procedures for non-degree-seeking coursework is outlined in Policy 1402. You will need to follow the procedures outlined in the policy, complete the Waiver of Tuition form, and submit a Special Student Application and application fee by the appropriate deadline.
Degree-Seeking
Will you be taking 12 credit hours or more in total? If so, you are considered degree-seeking. You will need to complete the Waiver of Tuition form and submit an application and application fee by the appropriate deadline for first-year, transfer, or Adult Degree Program applicants. Being an employee of JMU does not guarantee admission as a student. The Office of Admissions and Adult Degree Program will process your application following the same guidelines and requirements as non-employees.
