Orientation is required for all new degree-seeking students on the Hattiesburg campus.
Only admitted students who have submitted documentation of two measles, mumps, and
rubella (MMR) vaccinations can sign up for Orientation.
*Mississippi state law requires that students provide proof of two (2) vaccinations
for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). Exemptions are permitted in cases of (a) actual
or suspected pregnancy (measles or rubella vaccinations are not required for females
who are pregnant; if pregnancy is suspected, a valid certificate of medical exemption
from a health provider is required until pregnancy is resolved); (b) medical contraindication;
or (c) birth prior to 1957. The University partners with Med+Proctor for the collection
of MMR immunization documentation. Effective November 19, 2025, students who intend
to enroll at Southern Miss are encouraged to use Med+Proctor to upload proof of MMR
immunization. Med+Proctor charges a $10 fee for this service. To document a medical
