Reapplying to the University
Students who have previously attended the University and have a break in attendance of one or more terms (excluding summer) must file an application for readmission. Readmission documents required include an official transcript from each institution attended since leaving The University of Southern Mississippi and if a degree has been received from another institution, an official transcript showing that degree.
Students must meet the minimum admission standards of the University and be in good standing at all institutions attended since leaving The University of Southern Mississippi in order to be eligible for readmission.
Students who reclassify will be discontinued in the graduate studies office and will have to submit all appropriate paperwork to be readmitted to graduate studies in the future. Reclassified students previously seeking a graduate degree will not have that degree posted until they are readmitted to graduate studies and registered for graduate hours. If students are pre-registered for any classes on the graduate level, they will not be able to be reclassified until the next semester. Once reclassified, students are responsible for registering for undergraduate courses during the next open registration period. A student’s existing undergraduate major will be changed to “no major – general studies.” It is the responsibility of the student to contact the appropriate Academic Department/Dean’s Office on the procedure to declare an undergraduate major.
Questions concerning readmission should be directed to the Office of Admissions.
