Before You Apply
Transferring Credits & Eligibility
Before applying, it helps to understand how your credits will transfer to the University. We recommend you schedule a brief transcript review meeting with an admissions counselor for personalized guidance and to ensure the smoothest transfer process.
If you’d rather explore on your own, take a moment to learn how your credits will transfer to the University. We explain how course equivalency works along with a tool that helps you understand how your previous coursework fits into your new academic path.
You can be admitted as a transfer student if you meet one of the following criteria:
- Earned an associate’s degree intended for transfer to a four-year school from an accredited community college with a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA.
- Have a 2.0 cumulative GPA on 30 or more transferable credit hours.
- Meet resident freshman admissions requirements and have at least a 2.0 cumulative GPA on transferable credit from a regionally accredited college or university.
Recommended 30 transferable semester credit hours:
- 6 hours of English Composition;
- 3 hours of college algebra or quantitative reasoning (taken from a department of mathematics) or a more advanced mathematics course;
- 6 hours of laboratory science;
- 6 hours of social or behavioral science; and
- 9 hours of fine arts and humanities
How to Apply
Step 1: Start Your Admission Application
Apply as a transfer student by completing an undergraduate application. Graduate applicants should apply for graduate admissions and complete program-specific requirements.
Creating an account and completing an application typically takes 15-20 minutes, and you can save your progress along the way.
Application Fees
- Undergraduate Transfer: $50 (MS Residents), $75 (Non-residents)
- Graduate: $60
Step 2: Send Official Transcripts
Submit official transcripts from each college you have previously attended. Many colleges allow you to request official electronic transcripts through Parchment, or you may request official, sealed transcripts of your academic record be mailed directly to:
The University of Mississippi
Office of Admissions
P. O. Box 1848

If you are financially unable to pay the application fee, please reach out to an admissions counselor with concerns so we can work together to find a solution.
If you’ve previously been a student at Ole Miss, talk with an admissions counselor for next steps on reapplying as a readmitted student.
Application Review Process
Once we have received your completed application and official transcripts, the undergraduate admissions review process typically takes 3-4 weeks.
