If you will be enrolled in an online program, please contact JSUOnline at 601-979-0779. If you are taking classes on campus, please contact the University Academic Advisement Center at 601-979-2127.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 8: Complete Registration or Set up a Payment Plan<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>“Completing Registration” is the phrase used to describe the Business Office acknowledgement or verification of how fees are to be paid for the current semester. Once this information is “officially communicated” to the Business Office, we will “accept” the charges and payments for the current semester which in turn protects the student’s classes from being purged.<\/p>\n <p>There are two ways to “officially communicate” with the Office of Financial Services<\/p>\n <ol class=\"adm-ol\">\n <li>The first and most popular way is via the Automatic Registration Complete process. Once a student has selected his or her classes (along with housing and meal plan), the system will review all eligible accepted financial aid. If the remaining balance is less than $200, the students’ registration will be completed automatically.<\/li>\n <li>The second way to “officially communicate” is to enroll in the online payment plan. The payment plan is based on the balance due being divided into four (4) installments. The initial installment plus $100 (the deferment fee) is required to complete registration. The remaining three (3) installments are due in 30-day increments. Late fees of $70 begins on the 1st day of class.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n <p>Students can verify their status by signing into their JSU PAWS account and following the steps below<\/p>\n <ol class=\"adm-ol\">\n <li>Select the “Student” tab.<\/li>\n <li>Select “Registration”<\/li>\n <li>Select “Fall Registration Service”<\/li>\n <li>Select “Check Registration Status”<\/li>\n <li>If registration is complete, a congratulatory message will be displayed. If not, a message will display instructing you to your next required step.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 9: Get your Student Identification<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>To enhance the safety and security of the campus community, faculty, staff and students are required to obtain a University-issued photo ID card. The University mandates that all faculty, staff, and students display his\/her ID card visibly at all times while on campus. First-year students are able to obtain their ID after registration is complete (Step 8).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 10: Send Final Transcript After Graduation<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>Final transcripts need to be sent to Undergraduate Admissions as soon as final grades are posted. Please have your high school counselor mail your final transcripts to:<\/p>\n <p>Jackson State University<br>Undergraduate Admissions<br>P.O.

If you will be enrolled in an online program, please contact JSUOnline at 601-979-0779. If you are taking classes on campus, please contact the University Academic Advisement Center at 601-979-2127.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 8: Complete Registration or Set up a Payment Plan<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>“Completing Registration” is the phrase used to describe the Business Office acknowledgement or verification of how fees are to be paid for the current semester. Once this information is “officially communicated” to the Business Office, we will “accept” the charges and payments for the current semester which in turn protects the student’s classes from being purged.<\/p>\n <p>There are two ways to “officially communicate” with the Office of Financial Services<\/p>\n <ol class=\"adm-ol\">\n <li>The first and most popular way is via the Automatic Registration Complete process. Once a student has selected his or her classes (along with housing and meal plan), the system will review all eligible accepted financial aid. If the remaining balance is less than $200, the students’ registration will be completed automatically.<\/li>\n <li>The second way to “officially communicate” is to enroll in the online payment plan. The payment plan is based on the balance due being divided into four (4) installments. The initial installment plus $100 (the deferment fee) is required to complete registration. The remaining three (3) installments are due in 30-day increments. Late fees of $70 begins on the 1st day of class.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n <p>Students can verify their status by signing into their JSU PAWS account and following the steps below<\/p>\n <ol class=\"adm-ol\">\n <li>Select the “Student” tab.<\/li>\n <li>Select “Registration”<\/li>\n <li>Select “Fall Registration Service”<\/li>\n <li>Select “Check Registration Status”<\/li>\n <li>If registration is complete, a congratulatory message will be displayed. If not, a message will display instructing you to your next required step.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 9: Get your Student Identification<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>To enhance the safety and security of the campus community, faculty, staff and students are required to obtain a University-issued photo ID card. The University mandates that all faculty, staff, and students display his\/her ID card visibly at all times while on campus. First-year students are able to obtain their ID after registration is complete (Step 8).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 10: Send Final Transcript After Graduation<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>Final transcripts need to be sent to Undergraduate Admissions as soon as final grades are posted. Please have your high school counselor mail your final transcripts to:<\/p>\n <p>Jackson State University<br>Undergraduate Admissions<br>P.O. Box 17330<br>Jackson, MS 39217<\/p>\n <p>The contact number to Undergraduate Admissions is 601-979-6361.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 11: Freshmen Move-in-Day<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>Hundreds of JSU Students, faculty, staff, and alumni volunteer to help the newest Jacksonians and their parents move into the residence halls. Please call (601) 979-4302 for more information on Freshmen Move-In Day.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n <details class=\"adm-step\">\n <summary>Step 12: Welcome Week Experience<\/summary>\n <div class=\"adm-body\">\n<p>Welcome Week is a seven-day program that assists first-year students with the academic and social transition to college life. Building on Jackson State University’s foundation, first-year students will connect with other students, faculty, and staff. All first-year students are expected to attend Fall Orientation\/Welcome Week Activities. The week is a collaborative effort among the many departments under Student Success.
