The University of Mississippi understands the crucial role housing plays in a student's overall success. That's why weve developed a system that prioritizes both convenience and comprehensive support. The first step? Your Ole Miss WebID and password. These are your keys to accessing the student housing portal, a centralized hub for all your housing needs.
Inside the portal, you'll find a range of online forms and applications. Need to request a room change? Considering privatizing your current room? Dealing with a lockout? The portal provides the necessary forms to initiate these processes. Youll also find assignment request forms, including requests to vacate and cancellation forms, ensuring a seamless transition whether youre moving in, moving out, or simply making adjustments to your current living arrangements.
For incoming freshmen, the university maintains a first-year residency requirement. This policy is designed to foster a sense of community and provide a supportive environment for students transitioning to college life. However, exemptions are possible under certain circumstances. If you anticipate still being classified as a freshman after completing the stated requirements, notify Student Housing by July 15th. This will ensure a housing exemption is placed on your account, preventing unwanted charges for the following fall semester. The application for exemption is also available within the student housing portal, and there's no fee to apply. Once submitted, your application will be reviewed, and youll receive a notification via your Ole Miss Gmail regarding the status of your request.
Returning students, including sophomores, upperclassmen, and transfer students with 30 or more transferable hours, should utilize the "Returner Application" within the portal. This application, formerly known as the "Sophomore & Upperclassman Application," streamlines the process for those who have already experienced two full semesters of student housing, either at Ole Miss or another university. And for those looking to build connections from the start, the portal allows you to select a preferred roommate. While roommates arent guaranteed, the housing staff works diligently to accommodate as many requests as possible.
Beyond the practicalities of applications and forms, the portal serves as a gateway to a vibrant campus community. Living on campus isn't just about having a place to sleep; it's about immersing yourself in the Ole Miss experience. Its about forging lifelong friendships, connecting with faculty and staff, and tapping into a wealth of resources that contribute to academic and personal growth. From engaging with student organizations to discovering opportunities for leadership and service, campus living provides a strong foundation for student success.
Don't forget: communication is key. All official correspondence from the Student Housing department will be sent to your Ole Miss Gmail account, so be sure to check it regularly for updates and important information. Whether youre moving into a traditional residence hall or considering the modern comforts of the U Club Townhomes at Oxford, Ole Miss is committed to providing a housing experience that supports your academic journey and enriches your college years.
Spring semester applicants should also apply within the student housing portal. The University Health Services, dedicated to serving students, faculty, and staff, stands ready to support the well-being of the Ole Miss community. As you prepare for your arrival, remember to explore all available housing options and temporary accommodations to find the perfect fit for your needs. Welcome to Ole Miss! We cant wait to welcome you home.
