SET CANVAS NOTIFICATIONS TO SEND YOU ANNOUNCEMENTS IMMEDIATELY. How do I do this? 

Ways to Connect with Me:

• E-mail me to ask a question (fastest way).
• E-mail me to schedule an in person or zoom meeting (please address me as Dr. H or Dr. Henry). 
• If you are requesting a meeting, please indicate several days and times that work that are more than 24 hours from the day and time you send the email. 
• I will confirm the date, time, and location. 

Dr. Henry's drop-in advising office hours (masks required for in-person office hours) or by appointment in person or via zoom: 

• Please see your major advisor! 

For Zoom appointments (link here). Passcode: 6Ak6Mk. To maintain privacy, the waiting room will be “on” and you will be added to the meeting once the student before you has left.

Mine:

• Serve as your main resource on campus while teaching you to be independent and responsible

Appointments:

Take personal responsibility for commitments you make – including scheduled meetings. If circumstances arise ahead of time, reschedule your meeting; if unexpected circumstances arise, follow up with the individual(s) involved. In short, respect each other’s time.

What to bring to our meetings:

• list of questions or topics to discuss
• written list of majors and/or classes that you are considering
• general education planner
• major checklist
• your planner/calendar

Honor Code:

Upon accepting admission to James Madison University, a student immediately assumes a commitment to uphold the Honor Code, to accept responsibility for learning, and to follow the philosophy and rules of the Honor Code.  You can learn more about the JMU Honor Code at www.jmu.edu/honor.  Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the JMU community from the requirements or processes of the Honor Code system.

As a first-year student, you are required to complete the online Honor Code tutorial and test by October 1.  Failure to complete the requirement by the deadline will result in an information hold placed on your student record.  You can find the Honor Code tutorial and test at www.jmu.edu/honor/test.shtml.
