About Communiversity classes
Communiversity classes are non-credit classes offered by the Division of Outreach that will have you swirling around a dance floor, searching for your ancestors, or traveling solo and loving it and that’s just the beginning. Communiversity programs are open to anyone in the community, including retirees, Ole Miss students, and family members of all ages. Communiversity also partners with the Academic Traveler to offer overnight and day trips to local areas of interest such as the Mississippi Delta, Birmingham, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, etc.

About Registration
The University of Mississippi is open year-round (excluding University-observed holidays). Several options for registration are available: online, fax, phone, mail-in and walk-in. Our regular hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Registration opens once the class is scheduled on the calendar. We usually try and close each class one week prior to the first day of each class. Some programs have limited enrollment and are filled on a first-come basis. You must register by the deadline, and, by enrolling early, you ensure your place in the class of your choice. Payment must be made in full before the first day of class unless other arrangements have been made.
*The deadline for registering for a class is one week prior to the start of each class

The University of Mississippi reserves the right to cancel, postpone, limit enrollment, split or combine classes, and change instructors and class locations when necessary.
Class Refunds
Registration fees are refunded for Communiversity classes in full when: 1) the class for which an enrollment was submitted is full, 2) the class is canceled by the University, or 3) the University rejects the enrollment application. A student who withdraws within 48 hours of the first class meeting will receive a refund of registration fees, less $10. Withdrawals must be submitted in writing and postmarked or received 48 hours prior to the first class meeting. A student who withdraws after the first class meeting, but before the second, will receive a refund of 70 percent of registration fees. In no case, however, will the 30 percent retained by the University be less than $5. Withdrawals must be submitted in writing and received prior to the second class meeting.
