Minimum Fees and Tuition

It is the intent of the University to keep at a minimum the necessary expenses of its students. Changes are made in fees to benefit the students whenever possible. Increases are put into effect only when public support funds are inadequate and when no other recourse is available; therefore, the University must reserve the right to increase or modify fees, tuition, or scholarships without further notice, upon approval by the Board of Trustees.
Note: The registration process is not completed until the student pays his or her fees or makes arrangements for the deferred payment plan with the bursar.

Deferred Payment of Fees
Tuition and room rent may be paid in three installments during the semester. One-third of the above fees not covered by University-administered financial aid is due at the time of registration. One-half of the remaining balance is due no later than Sept. 25 for the 2001 fall semester or Feb. 25 for the 2002 spring semester. Final payment is due by Oct. 25 for the 2001 fall semester or March 25 for the 2002 spring semester. A 1-1/2 percent service fee will be added to the final installment for students who use the deferred payment plan. Failure to pay the amount deferred by the dates stipulated may result in University-initiated withdrawal of the student and/or loss of the fee deferral privilege for future registration periods. Deferred payment of fees is not available during either summer term.

Delinquent Accounts
The University reserves the right to withhold re-admission to a student until all delinquent accounts owed to the University have been paid. Transcripts of credits are not issued for students whose accounts are delinquent. Regular student account balances and student loan balances are collected by the Bursar's Office, and, if not paid when due, shall constitute a delinquent account.

Ole Miss Express
The Ole Miss Express plan is a declining balance system, which works like a debit card. Deposits may be made throughout the year at the ID Center Office in Paul B. Johnson Commons West, Central Ticket Office in the Student Union, Bursar's Office in the Martindale Student Services Center, or at the Stockard/Martin Fluff-Fold Laundry. Not only can the card be used to buy meals at all campus food service locations, but Ole Miss Express also may be used on campus to purchase sundries and laundry services at campus laundries, the Ole Miss Bookstore, The Rebel Shop, Library Copy Machines, Ole Miss Student Union, the Alumni House Snack Bar, the Galley, Towers, Athletic Ticket Office, Central Ticket Office, and all campus vending machines.

Meals
