Contacting JMU Admissions Office

I've got a few unique questions about James Madison University and I'm thinking I should reach out directly to their admissions office. Anyone have any advice on the best way to contact them and what I should include in my message?

There are a few channels you can use to contact the James Madison University admissions office, depending on the nature of your questions and your preference. Typically, these channels include the following:

- Email: admissions@jmu.edu

- Telephone: (540) 568-5681

To prepare your communication, consider the following steps to make your interaction as effective as possible:

1. Be clear & concise: Clearly state your questions or concerns. Avoid unnecessary details and aim to be as straightforward as possible.

2. Provide necessary information: Include enough about your academic context for the admissions office to understand your situation. For example, your year in high school, your intended major (if decided), etc.

3. Draft your email or notes carefully: If it's an email, ensure you use proper email etiquette. This includes using an appropriate greeting, closing, and overall professional toned language. Avoid using texting language or emojis.

4. Be yourself: It's okay to let a bit of your personality shine through. This could even be an opportunity to demonstrate sincere interest in JMU.

Whether you’re reaching out via email or over the phone, remember to be respectful of the admissions officer’s time and bear in mind that there might be a delay before you get a response, especially during busy application periods.
