Re-Admission of Former Students
All students who have interrupted their enrollment in the
University
must submit an Application for Re-Admission to
the Office of Admissions.
Those who have attended other institutions
during the interruption must
have official transcripts forwarded
by the institutions to the Office of Admissions.
Re-admission requirements for students who have been academically
suspended or dismissed from the University are given in the
Academic Standing section of the Academic Regulations chapter
of the Undergraduate Catalog.
Academic Restart Policy
A student may reenter the University and be allowed to start
his or her college education completely over after having
been out of the University and any other post-secondary educational
institution for at least 48 consecutive months. The student
will enter as a totally new student and all the academic
regulations for new students (e.g., concerning probation,
suspension, and honors) will apply.
A student's grades obtained prior to academic restart will
remain on the transcript, but all grades made prior to academic
restart will no longer be calculated in the grade point average.
The student waives the right to have any prior grades calculated
in the GPA upon being admitted to the restart program, even
if those grades are transferred from another institution.
A student may use the academic restart policy only one time.
Admission of Disabled Students
The University of Mississippi complies with all applicable
laws regarding affirmative action and equal opportunity in
all its activities and programs and does not discriminate
against anyone protected by law because of disability. Decisions
regarding admission to the University are made on the basis
of admissions standards stated above.
To become eligible for services and programs through the
Center for Student Disability Services, a student must be
fully admitted to The University of Mississippi. In the case
of a learning disability, the student must first verify the
disability by presenting a personal copy of a psychoeducational
evaluation with a specific diagnosis of a learning disability
to the Center for Student Disability Services. In case of
other physical handicaps, the admitted student must provide
documentation (medical, social, psychological, and other
supporting information) that verifies the physical handicap.
Once the student's disability has been verified, the appropriate
committee will review all submitted information and make
a recommendation regarding providing assistance for the student.
While the University attempts to accommodate students with
disabilities, its ability to provide for the needs of all
such students may be limited. Students requiring assistance
or services through the Center for Student Disability Services
are advised to ascertain, before enrolling in the University,
whether the particular services desired would be available
to them.
