Important Info & Contacts

As your student transitions into this next stage of life, we encourage you to make them responsible for communicating with professors and university offices. In fact, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act limits what information JBU can talk about with you without your student's permission. 

We hope the below information is helpful in guiding your student to the right department for their questions.

Residence Hall Questions
Have your student talk to their Resident Assistant (RA) or their Resident Director (RD). See a list of Residence Life Staff.

Dining Services
The Creative Dining Services staff works hard to feed our students nutritious and delicious meals. Student concerns can be brought to the manager on duty or emailed to Thomas Jeffries.

 

Student Financial Accounts

Financial Aid Process
Our financial aid staff is here to help you navigate this process each year. Students can speak with a financial aid counselor in the business office (Chapman Bldg.) or email finaid@jbu.edu.
