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.
Communiversity classes are offered in E. F. Yerby Conference Center unless otherwise noted. The Center is located at the corner of University Avenue and Grove Loop. Please contact Mary W. Leach at mleach@olemiss.edu or (662) 915-7847 for more information.
Fees are due at the time of registration, whether by mail, fax, phone, online or in person. Payment may be made in cash or by check (payable to the University of Mississippi), money order, or credit card (Visa or MasterCard ONLY). If registering by fax, phone or online, payment must be made using Visa or MasterCard. When paying by credit card, be sure to fill out all appropriate information on the registration form.

Communiversity classes are designed for people of all ages, unless otherwise indicated. These classes do not require admission to the University.

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
