Campus Visits

Once you visit the Ole Miss campus, you'll never want to leave.

• Visit Campus

You have to see it to believe it.

The Ole Miss campus rests on 3,693 tree-filled acres. It's no wonder why it's considered one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. When you visit Ole Miss, you'll see why so many students choose to build their legacy here.

What does a visit look like?

Our in-person campus visits consist of an information session with a University staff member, a campus walking tour with an Ole Miss Ambassador, and a tour of our residence halls. Our information sessions cover a wide range of topics including university overview, academic programs, applications, scholarships & financial aid, and student life.

Still Have Questions? We've Got Answers.

You can sign up for a campus visit online.

Please be sure the student is the one to register.

We close our visit registration within 48 business hours of a visit date.

Our registration system opens visit days as early as eight weeks prior to the event. We are unable to open visit dates any earlier.

We do not suggest signing up multiple students for a visit under one registration. We ask that each individual student signs up online for the visit. We need each student’s information so that we can have an accurate count of students and guests. We also want to be sure to have their information to begin recruiting them!

Of course! We actually prefer that parents participate as well. It is always better to have an extra set of ears during our presentations.

We do not provide lunch for our weekday visits; however, you are always more than welcome to stop by Rebel Market or our Student Union for lunch on your own before or after your tour. Our Fall Visit Day and Junior Preview Day programs do provide lunch.

No! All of our visits and events are completely free. However, we are a community-service based university, and any donations to our Ole Miss Food Bank are greatly appreciated.

Once your visit is confirmed, you will automatically receive a confirmation email sent to the address you provided on the online registration form. Your confirmation is very important, and it will have information on where to meet, how to get here and parking information.

We hope that it will not rain on your visit; however, if it does, we still offer tours. Our tours are mainly outdoor walking tours, so please be sure to check the weather before you come so that you can be prepared. If you would like to skip this portion of your visit, that is not a problem as well.

We do not offer tours on major holidays or Saturdays. We will, however, have a few special events on Saturdays for those who cannot make it to campus on a weekday. We do not offer visits on any home football game days.

We do not recommend you to sit in on a class. It takes up to two weeks to get permission from a department and professor for a visiting student to sit in on a class. There is no way to guarantee that there will not be a test or quiz during these class times. We find it much more beneficial for you to meet with someone in a specific department rather than sitting in on a class.

You will get to see the main area of campus during your one-hour campus walking tour. Your Ole Miss Ambassador will be a current student who will not only discuss areas of campus life, but he/she will also talk about the history of certain areas of campus. We do not show live classrooms so that we do not disrupt classes. We also do not show athletic facilities because they are too far from our regular tour route.

Student housing tours are offered daily as part of campus visits, which are administered by the Office of Campus Visit and Orientation Programs. If you’d like to visit student housing, please register for an official campus visit. Due to the number of visitors we have on campus each day, individual student housing tours are not available.

During the student housing tour, two of the three types of freshman housing that we offer are shown. Visitors will see a showroom in a traditional residence hall and a showroom in a contemporary residence hall. Student rooms in the residential colleges are identical to the rooms in our contemporary halls with the exception of floor type.

For visitors who wish to view all of the amenities in our residential colleges, tours of Residential College South and Luckyday Residential College are available by appointment. If you’d like to tour one of the residential colleges, please reply to your visit confirmation email.

You will be able to see the facility in the contemporary hall showroom where the bathroom is located within the room. However, you will not be able to view the facility in the traditional hall because students live in that hall and use those restrooms on a daily basis.

Yes! Your tour guide will show you where our bookstore is located on campus. You will be unable to stop during the actual tour, however, you will have the opportunity to stop back by after you finish with the housing tour.

Unfortunately, our office does not sell or give away any athletic tickets. You can purchase these through our ticket office or online.

Oxford has multiple hotels to choose from, all within a very close distance to campus. For more information, please visit the Visit Oxford website.

Due to liability, we do not offer overnight accommodations. You are more than welcome to check out our various hotels located close to campus. For more information, please visit the Visit Oxford website.

Additional appointment requests for daily campus visits can be made simply by replying to your confirmation email. You will need to sign up for an official visit and reply to the confirmation email with your specific requests. You will receive two emails: one stating that your requests were received and the other with your specific appointments once they are scheduled. Please note that all special appointment requests must be made at least one week in advance for the courtesy of the departments we work with in scheduling these appointments. Please be patient with us because we process appointment requests by the order in which the visit will take place. Also, the Office of Campus Visit and Orientation Programs cannot accommodate requests for special appointments during Saturday Special Events.

We do not offer private visits. You will be in a group for your information session and then split up for a campus tour. We have roughly 10-12 student ambassadors available during each tour time. If you visit on a Monday or Friday, your tour group is more likely to be a little larger.

We do not offer a shuttle service to and from the Memphis airport. There are, however, several taxi companies and car rental companies available in both locations.

We offer group tours for high schools who are interested in bringing their students up for a visit. We do not offer tours for students younger than the high school age. We only offer group tours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please do not schedule this visit online because you will need to contact the Office of Campus Visit and Orientation Programs at 662-915-2131 or email [email protected] to schedule this visit.

We can only give out or sign school excuses for students who participate in one of our official campus visits. Excuses can only be given for the exact day that a student participates in the campus visit.

Optional meetings with academic colleges may also be scheduled.

Meet Your Roadrunners

Visits for high school (11th-12th) and community college groups of 10 or more students are scheduled Tuesdays through Thursdays at 10 a.m. (excluding University holidays). Please follow this link to view the available dates and request the visit. Groups that are not looking for an undergraduate admissions visit may contact the MSU Welcome Center for all other tours.

Academic College Meetings

After scheduling your visit, your confirmation email will direct you on how to schedule a meeting with specific academic colleges if you would like to speak to a specific college recruiter. Please note that scheduling your visit with the academic colleges through the Office of Admissions helps to streamline the scheduling process and ensures you receive a parking pass. 

* Academic meetings are not guaranteed during the summer months.

Applying for Housing

All students must be admitted to mississippi delta community college in order to apply for campus housing. .

The college residence halls provide living quarters for men and women. All rooms are furnished; however, each student is responsible for their personal bed linens, towels, pillows, toiletries, and other needed items.

Residential room housing assignments are administered as followed:

• The priority assignments will be made to those students who provide special service to the institution which makes it imperative that they live on campus (i.e. athletes, performance groups and leadership based organization members).
• The next assignments generally will be extracted from students who live in our supporting counties. However, consideration will be given to those individuals who are considered out-of-district and out-of-state students with compelling circumstances. Ex. Resident who is enrolled in a special program such as nursing, radiology, or dental hygiene.
• Any remaining space will be assigned according to the date on their housing application.

Residence hall room assignment confirmations are generally made by the Office of Student Services in June for those entering during the fall semester and in December for those entering during the spring semester. Other housing accommodations are made as rooms become available. All rooms are furnished to accommodate three occupants.

Room Application Fee

All students who are accepted into housing are required to complete Move In Paperwork including, but not limited to, a Check In Form, a Condition of Property Checklist (a pre-damage inventory sheet for the student to report damages, which he or she is not responsible for. Failure to turn this form in will forfeit the student's right to challenge any decision made by the Office of Student Services to charge the student for damages not reported.) and a Furniture Movement Form (a form notifying the student that movement of beds and wardrobe units is prohibited and will result in a monetary fine.)

Any assessment made for damages must be paid before a transcript of grades can be issued. Part-time students (less than 12 hours) may not live in on-campus housing. Residents must maintain a 1.75 GPA to maintain their room assignment. Those who fail to meet this requirement will be placed on academic probation by the Office of Student Services with an additional semester to improve their academic standing. Note: Failure to comply will result in forfeiture of the student's room assignment.

All room changes must be approved by Associate Dean of Student Services. A student who makes an unauthorized room change will be subject to a monetary fine.

The College reserves the right to inspect rooms and to move any student to another assignment for reasons of but not limited to conflict amongst roommates, space management and maintenance work.

Complete the Housing Application and pay the application fee online.

Note: Internet Explorer is not compatible with our online form system. To avoid any issues, please use a another browser, such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari, to complete the housing application.

Man arrested in fatal shooting of title-winning college gymnast in Wisconsin

A man has been arrested in the shooting death of a national title-winning University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast near campus, police said.

Whitewater police said Chad T. Richards, a 23-year-old man who knew the victim, shot Kara Welsh, 21, after an altercation at a campus-area apartment late Friday.

Police said they will not be releasing any additional information at this time because this is an active investigation.

University Chancellor Corey King announced Welsh’s death Saturday in a message to students and faculty and staff members.

“We know the news of Kara’s death is heartbreaking for our close-knit university community,” King said. “It is a time when we are all called upon to support one another, to process, and to grieve.”

The suspect was taken to Walworth County Jail and booked on suspicion of first-degree intentional homicide, endangering safety while armed and disorderly conduct while armed, police said in a statement, adding that they forwarded these charges to the Walworth County District Attorney’s office.

Richards appeared in court Tuesday and a judge upheld a $1 million bail that had been set for him, NBC affiliate WTMJ of Milwaukee reported .

His case did not appear in online court records Tuesday, and it was not clear from records whether he had an attorney. The district attorney's office said it expected to file a criminal complaint against him by Friday, WTMJ reported.

In an earlier statement, the police department said the 23-year-old suspect was present when officers responded to a report of a gunshot victim Friday. A woman, later identified as Welsh, had been shot multiple times and was dead when officers arrived, police said.

"Through investigation, it was determined that leading up to the shooting, an altercation had occurred between the two," police said.

The killing took place on the 100 block of Whitewater Street, about a mile east of the school's main campus, at a residence listed on a university web page as off-campus housing.

Welsh was a business management major from Plainfield, Illinois, who won an individual national title on the vault for the gymnastics team last year, according to the school.

She was a vault “phenom” who holds four of the eight highest vault scores in team history, the university's athletic department said in a statement Sunday .

"To put into words the impact Kara had on the Warhawk community is impossible," coach Jen Regan said in the statement. "A powerful athlete, dedicated teammate, and the light in everyone's dark days, Kara truly lifted each and every one of us up in her time as a Warhawk gymnast."

USA Gymnastics, the governing body for the sport in the U.S., s aid o n X , "We offer our deepest condolences to Kara’s family, friends and teammates at @UWWGymnastics."

King said memorial services will be announced when details are available. Flags on campus will fly at half-staff when students and faculty and staff members return Tuesday, and counseling is available to those who need it, he said.

A relative of Walsh's did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday evening.

Whitewater is about 50 miles west-southwest of Milwaukee.

Police have released the identity of the suspect arrested in the shooting death of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater gymnast Kara Welsh near campus.

The Whitewater Police Department on Sept. 3 identified the suspect as Chad T. Richards, 23. According to a statement from the police department, Richards was scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 3 at the Walworth County Courthouse.

Welsh was from Plainfield, Illinois, and was "a standout member of the Warhawk gymnastics team, winning an individual national title on the vault in 2023," King wrote.

Welsh was majoring in management at the school's College of Business and Economics.

"We know the news of Kara’s death is heartbreaking for our close-knit university community. It is a time when we are all called upon to support one another, to process, and to grieve," King wrote, along with information about the available resources on campus for students, faculty and staff to navigate the aftermath of Welsh's death.

Condolences are pouring in from the gymnastics community.

USA Gymnastics posted on X on Sept. 1: "We offer our deepest condolences to Kara’s family, friends and teammates at @UWWGymnastics."

“To put into words the impact Kara had on the Warhawk community is impossible,”  UW-Whitewater head gymnastics coach Jennifer Regan said . “A powerful athlete, dedicated teammate, and the light in everyone’s dark days, Kara truly lifted each and every one of us up in her time as a Warhawk gymnast. There are no words to describe the void we all feel in our hearts, but Kara’s legacy will live on through Warhawk gymnastics forever.”
