James Madison University (JMU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, with priority given to applications submitted by November 1 for early action and January 15 for regular decision. Transfer students should apply by March 1 for fall admission and October 1 for spring.
Graduate programs have varying deadlines, typically falling between January and April for fall enrollment. Some departments may accept applications later if space permits. Prospective students should verify specific program deadlines on JMU’s official website, as requirements may differ by major or degree level.
