When does the housing deposit have to be paid? Before May 1 or when you do the housing contract by May 31? Thanks!
My son signed his housing contract for freshman year for fall but have seen nothing about housing deposit. What is the amount?
@kathyrain I haven’t seen anything about a deposit. I read that after you pay your tuition deposit you access the housing contract within 24-48 hrs later (we put down tuition deposit yesterday). My other son is going to a different school and we had to put down tuition and housing deposit so I thought it would the same at JMU.
I contacted Admissions and they clarified that there is no housing deposit.
There is no such things called a housing deposit.
Thanks @kathyrain I had called too before I saw your post above. Funny that there’s no deposit since other schools require it - but I’m not complaining!! 
You had to pay the $250 admissions deposit. I assume its all rolled into one as your required to live on campus. Its nice though they credit it all to your tuition.
Virginia Tech deposit amount is $400. Of which $225 is charged for orientation and only the remaining $175 is credited to your tuition account.
