Welcome to the Madison Family
The Madison Experience is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will shape your student's life and future. As JMU welcomes your sons and daughters, the university extends the same warm invitation to you as parents. To help you find your own place in the Madison Experience and to "follow along" as your child begins this important life transition, the Office of Parent Relations has assembled a handbook to guide you through the next four years. You too, are a part of Madison. You, as well as students, the faculty and staff, and alumni ... together ... enrich your student's total Madison Experience. So welcome to James Madison University.

Quality Enhancement Plan
An integral component of James Madison University's reaffirmation of SACS accreditation is to create and implement a Quality Enhancement Plan. Over 75 QEP proposals were submitted by the university community and the process is now at the evaluation stage. Because the QEP process is designed to be inclusive, the entire JMU community now has the opportunity to view and comment on all the submitted proposals at the JMU QEP Blog.
