Application Info

First-Time Incoming Freshman Applicants - Fall 2013/Spring 2014

*IMPORTANT Date & Time Information*

Please review and follow these instructions if:
  • You are a spring 2013 high school graduate
  • You have less than 30 semester hours and have not lived in an on-campus community at Ole Miss or another college or university
  • You do not have reason for the following exemptions: married, parent, prior or current military service, over 21.

You must be an admitted student to complete your student housing application. It is important to do this as soon as possible, as room selection time slots are assigned based on the date that you completed your application and paid your application fee. Below are four easy steps that will lead you through the housing application process.

  1. To begin the student housing application process, log into my.olemiss.edu and select ‘Housing’. Next, select ‘Application’ (below the ‘Housing’ link). Then, select this application: First Time Incoming Freshman - Fall 2013/Spring 2014.
  2. Complete the following sections: online profile, housing agreement, application fee payment (non-refundable). You may also search for and request a roommate.
  3. When you receive your timeslot in May, log into my.olemiss.edu and select ‘Housing’. Next, select ‘Application’ (below the ‘Housing’ link). Then, select the application for fall 2013/spring 2014. Click on the room selection option. Select a building and floor to view available bedspaces. Choose a bedspace and reserve it.
  4. View your application information and reservation at any time by logging into my.olemiss.edu and selecting ‘Housing’. Next, select ‘Application’ (below the ‘Housing’ link). Then, select the application that you completed. Click on the ‘Application Status’ (above 10 and 11) option to view your information.
  5. View your requested roommate(s) at any time by selecting the 'Roommate Management' option.

Room Swap

As students participate in the self-assign process, availability of buildings and rooms changes frequently. If you would like a space other than the one you have selected, you may use the ‘Room Swap’ tab in the housing application to view available spaces and select a new one. You should check back regularly since rooms are released without notice. Room Swap is available until 5:00pm CDT on Monday, July 15.  

Cancellations

The cancellation deadline for student housing is July 1, 2013. If you decide not to attend the University of Mississippi, you must cancel your application by selecting ‘Cancel Application’ within your original housing application and notify student housing via e-mail at housing@olemiss.edu by 5:00pm CDT on July 1, 2013. After July 1, 2013, you will be financially responsible for BOTH fall and spring semesters if you are enrolled at the university.
