The Ole Miss academic calendar 2023-2024 contains class schedules, the important dates and deadlines for each semester. The University of Mississippi operates a semester system which consists of fall, spring, and summer semesters.
The Fall semester begins in mid-August and ends in mid-December. The Spring semester begins in mid-January and ends in early May. The summer session consists of two terms of approximately four weeks, each with the same number of classroom hours as a regular semester.
Intersessions at Ole Miss are two-week terms in early January, May, or August.
To be classified as a full-time student at Ole Miss, you must be taking at least 12 semester hours. Students enrolled for fewer than 12 hours are classified as part-time.
The University of Mississippi provides an academic advising system that requires each student to consult with an academic adviser prior to each registration period.
The adviser’s role is to assist the student in making course selections and to approve the student’s schedule. The student, however, bears the ultimate responsibility for making appropriate choices when scheduling classes, including schedule changes made during the drop-add period.
Check out the important dates and deadlines on the Ole Miss academic calendar for the fall, spring and summer semesters.
