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). The Summer School program is designed to offer Ole Miss students the opportunity to earn academic credits toward the completion of their degrees during the summer months.

How many hours of course work may I take in each term?
There a maximum number of credit hours that a student may take in each summer term. Students may take fewer hours than the maximum number, but may not take more hours. Tuition is charged according to the number of credit hours taken.

Full Summer Term – maximum of 12 credit hours of course work
First Summer Term – maximum of 7 credit hours of course work

What kind of courses can I take?
On this web site you will find the academic calendar for Summer School 2009, 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 2008 or spring 2009 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 |
$638.25 $850.50 |
| Non–Residents | Undergraduate, 3 credit hour course Graduate, 3 credit hour course |
$1,085.25 $1,446.00 |
Is campus housing available during the summer?
Yes. The Office of Student Housing makes rooms available throughout the summer for students who wish to take Summer School courses. The cost of these rooms varies according to the term, so please consult with the housing office for current rates and rules for the different summer terms.
How do I sign up for summer classes?
Currently enrolled students may register for Summer School classes in the same way that they would enroll in fall and spring semester classes, i.e. over the web using their Ole Miss ID and password. Students may begin to enroll during the Priority Registration period that starts Wednesday, March 25, 2009.
What if I have more questions?
Summer School 2009 is administered by the Office of Summer School within the Division of Outreach and Continuing Education. Please contact the director if you have additional questions.
