<p>Here are their requirements:</p>
<p>Non-Residents of Mississippi</p>
<p>The University of Mississippi is proud that our student body is enriched by a diverse pool of students from around the nation and the world. Non-resident applicants with a 2.50 GPA or higher on the College Preparatory Curriculum (CPC) or equivalent CPC of the applicant’s state of residence and a composite ACT score of 20 or higher (or 950 or higher on the SAT Critical Reading/Mathematics only) will be granted regular admission to the University.</p>
<p>Non-resident applicants who do not meet the above criteria are still encouraged to apply and will have the opportunity to provide additional information to support their applications.</p>
<p>In addition to grades and test scores, the University Admissions Committee may consider a variety of factors to assess a non-resident applicant’s potential for success at UM and to make an admissions decision. The factors considered may include and are not limited to: rigor of high school courses, diversity of background and experiences, school and community activities, work experience and special life circumstances. In making an admissions decision, the Admissions Committee may review an application for evidence of excellence in academics, the arts, athletics, leadership, service, citizenship and character. The University’s Admissions Committee will review all application materials and make an admissions decision.</p>
<p>Admissions decisions are influenced by the institution’s ability to provide an outstanding UM experience. Accordingly, all applicants should submit required materials well in advance of the term for which they intend to enroll. Non-residents of Mississippi applying for first-year admission for the summer or fall terms are encouraged to submit all application materials no later than April 1.
Non-residents submitting all application materials (including the Non-Resident Admissions Application Supplement) by November 1, 2011 will be notified of their admissions status by December 1, 2011.</p>
<p>Non-residents submitting all application materials (including the Non-Resident Admissions Application Supplement) by February 1, 2012 will be notified of their admissions status by March 1, 2012.</p>
<p>Non-residents submitting all application materials (including the Non-Resident Admissions Application Supplement) after February 1, 2012 will be notified of their admissions status within thirty days of the receipt of all required application materials.</p>
<p>Students whose ACT subtest score in reading, English, and/or mathematics is less than 17 (or SAT verbal and/or mathematics score is 400 or less) are required to enroll in an appropriate developmental course during the first semester of enrollment and to remain in the course until receiving a passing grade or until passing the placement exam administered by the Department of Developmental Studies. Students with ACT subtest scores of 17, 18, or 19 are encouraged to enroll in developmental courses. Those students who enroll in two or more developmental courses also are required to complete two semesters of Developmental Support Lab (see below). Enrollment in developmental courses is limited to students with subtest scores below 20 except with permission of the department. Developmental courses completed at other postsecondary institutions before enrolling at The University of Mississippi may be considered to meet developmental requirements.</p>
