Summer School is composed of five separate terms: One eight-week term (Full Summer Term), two four-week terms (First Summer Term and Second Summer Term) and two even shorter intersession terms (May Intersession and August Intersession).

What kind of courses can I take?
On this web site you will find the academic calendar for Summer School 2013, as well as a list of all of the courses that are currently scheduled to be offered in each of the different summer terms. Courses are listed by school and department. Because details about a particular course can and do change between the start of the Priority Registration period and the beginning of the summer, you can find the most current information on courses by consulting the Course Schedule menu on the myOleMiss web site (click here).
How much do Summer School classes cost?
Tuition in the Summer School is charged on the number of credit hours a student takes. Mississippi resident tuition is the same as that of any other comparable course taken during the fall 2012 or spring 2013 semesters. Non-resident tuition, however, is significantly lower than in the fall and spring semesters, which makes Summer School a good buy for out–of–state students.
| Mississippi Residents | Undergraduate, 3 credit hour course Graduate, 3 credit hour course |
$785.25 $1047.00 |
| Non–Residents | Undergraduate, 3 credit hour course Graduate, 3 credit hour course |
$1,570.50 $2,094.00 |
Is campus housing available during the summer?

Sign up begins April 15, 2013 at 9:00 am. For more information on move in/out dates, room rates and frequently asked questions please go to http://www.olemiss.edu/depts/stu_housing/summermovein.html
Are meal plans available for Summer Sessions?
Yes. There are a variety of meal plans available for the 1st, 2nd and Full Summer terms. Meal plans are not available for the intersessions. However, students will have the option of adding flex to their account. Please go to www.OleMissDining.com for more information about how to sign up for a plan and locations that will be open for the summer sessions.
How do I sign up for summer classes?
