As a student at James Madison University, the Office of the Registrar (OR) is your go-to resource for all things academic records. From enrollment and registration to graduation and beyond, the OR is here to help you navigate your academic journey.
Enrollment and Registration
Enrolling in JMU is the first step to your academic journey. The OR is responsible for processing applications, assigning student ID numbers, and registering students for classes. You can complete the application process online or in person at the OR.
Once you are enrolled, you will need to register for classes each semester. Registration is typically held in the spring for the fall semester and in the fall for the spring semester. You can register for classes online through BannerWeb or in person at the OR.
Academic Records
The OR maintains your official academic records, including your transcripts, grades, and enrollment history. You can request a copy of your transcript online or in person at the OR.
Transcripts are used to verify your academic achievements and may be required for employment, graduate school, or other purposes. The OR can also provide certified copies of your transcripts.
Graduation
The OR is responsible for processing graduation applications and conferring degrees. You must apply for graduation by the deadline, which is typically in the fall for May graduation and in the spring for December graduation.
Once you have applied for graduation, the OR will review your academic records to ensure that you have met all of the requirements for your degree. If you have met all of the requirements, you will be awarded your degree at the next graduation ceremony.
Beyond Graduation
The OR provides services to JMU alumni, including transcript requests and degree verification. You can request a copy of your transcript online or in person at the OR.
The OR can also verify your degree for employers or other organizations. This service is typically used for employment verification or for the purpose of obtaining a professional license.
