Paying your admissions deposit moves your account from applicant status to student status. It may take up to 48 hours for your payment to be processed before your account is transitioned automatically. Once complete, the next time you log into mylogin.jmu.edu, you will be prompted to set up MFA, if you have not done so already.
In MyMadison (mymadison.jmu.edu), if you see the Student tab on the left side of the screen, your account has been activated as a student. If you only see an Applicant tab, your account has not yet been transitioned.
