Application Procedure

Fall 2008 deadline: Oct. 15

To apply to the JMC major, students first must complete applications, which can be downloaded from this site. Instead of writing their essays at home, however, students will write their essays in a computer lab. Students will have 2.5 hours to answer an essay question, which will be provided at the lab. Students must register for a scheduled essay session when they submit their competed applications. Applications must be submitted to the JMC administrative assistant by Oct. 15 in the fall and Feb. 15 in the spring. The following times and dates are scheduled for the essay:

3-5:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17 in Candelaria Hall 1140/1170

8-10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 in Candelaria Hall 1140/1170

No one may register before 8 a.m. Oct. 1 or after 4 p.m. Oct. 15. Please note that one of the essay session dates is a Saturday. The JMC program faculty and staff want to make this procedure as easy as possible for students.

The essay question will differ between sessions.

Students with special needs must see the admissions chair at least two weeks prior to the application due dates of Oct. 15 or Feb. 15 to make needed arrangements.
