If you have specific questions about this process, receive a move-in confirmation date that is NOT August 15, or do not receive any information about housing from JMU, please contact the JMU Office of Residence Life.
Living OFF CAMPUS
All MRD members who are living OFF campus should have confirmation from their property manager(s) of their move-in date. Memos were sent to your apartment complex if that information was provided in your MRD Membership Form prior to July 1, 2024.
Please double check with your property manager to make sure your move-in is arranged in time for our pre-season camp on Wednesday, August 14.
CAMP MEALS
Meals for all MRDs will begin at DINNER on WEDNESDAY, August 14.
FOR 2024 – Meals (“swipes”) will be loaded onto individual JACards. You will use your student ID to swipe into meals during camp:
- FIRST-YEAR MEMBERS: You will begin using your regular meal plan at dinner on Friday.
- ALL OTHER MEMBERS: The band office will provide meals on your JACard through dinner on Monday.
- If family/friends wish to have lunch with you during the first day of camp (between registration and move-in), they are welcome to purchase a meal ticket at D-Hall.
NOTE: If you do not have a JMU ID (i.e. BRCC, EMU, staff, etc.), you will be provided a Conference Card to swipe into meals – this will be included in your MRD Camp registration packet.
