Welcome to JMU/Harrisonburg!
Welcome!
The day after you arrive in Harrisonburg, (or on Monday, January 13) check-in with Thomas in his office to figure out what your next steps are. There are very specific steps to take care of, in a very specific order, to ensure that your immigration, JMU check-in, GA payments, etc... are handled!
The International Student and Scholar Services office is located on the 2nd floor of the Holland Yates Hall. You can access the office
-
From the Student Success Center (SSC). There is a "skybridge" that connects SSC to Holland Yates Hall on the 2nd floor.
-
From the main outside entrance to the building. The individuals at the front desk can point you in the direction of the elevator to take to the second floor.
