ALMAMATER
The University of Mississippi
Way down south in Mississippi,
There’s a spot that ever calls
Where among the hills enfolded.
Stand Old Alma Mater’s Halls.
Where the trees lift high their branches,
To the whisp’ring southern breeze.
There Ole Miss is calling, calling,
to our hearts’ fond memories.
What isOrientation exists to assist new students and their families by supporting their transition to life as a part of the UM community – academically, socially, and culturally.
In this session you will have the opportunity to meet classmates, faculty, staff, administration, and learn about campus resources and services that will help make you successful while you’re here.

Meet with your academic advisor. After meeting with your advisor, you should have courses provided to you to help you fulfill the requirements of your degree program. You will use this list to register for classes.
Know when your registration window opens for the next term in order to register. This is the specific date and time in which you can register for upcoming open terms. For optimal course availability, it is recommended that you register as close to your registration window as possible.
Once the course schedule comes out, you should review it in advance of your registration window for the courses you and your advisor discussed. The course schedule is the listing of courses for the entire campus and can be found here: www.olemiss.edu/courseschedule. You will place your preferred courses in your favorites. This is a shopping cart for your schedule. You will need to place any course you plan to register for in your favorites.
Once your registration window opens, you will utilize your favorites list to add your preferred courses to your schedule. When you have completed your schedule, it can be found here: www.olemiss.edu/myschedule. Be sure to have alternate courses available so that registration goes smoothly.
