Summer Orientation

Spring Welcome will take place beginning January 17 and is broken down into two parts. Students are required to attend both parts of Spring Welcome. 

  • Part 1: Friday, January 17 11:45am-6pm
    • Part 1 is for both students and their families/supporters. Students should plan to complete their move to Harrisonburg by 11am on Friday so that they can fully participate in Spring Welcome. Lunch and dinner will be provided. A schedule overview will be available in early January. 
  • Part 2: Saturday, January 18 through the first two weeks of classes. 
    • Part 2 is for students only. There are multiple required programs on Saturday, January 18 and Sunday, January 19. A full schedule of events will be available to view in the JMU Be Involved app beginning in early January.
