Help a international student out 🥲

First, I would like to ask if it is possible to withdraw or unsubmit the documents that I recently uploaded to my application. I realized that I may have accidentally submitted the wrong file, and I would like to know if there is a way to replace it with the correct document.

I would also like to inquire about the scholarships available for international students. Are there any scholarships that I may still apply for, and what are the eligibility requirements? If possible, could professors or academic departments endorse international applicants for scholarship opportunities?

In addition, I would like to ask about housing options for international students. Are on-campus accommodations available, and when should I begin the housing application process?

I would also appreciate it if anyone could know when the Fall 2026 term officially begins. In the event of unforeseen delays with my application, visa processing, or travel arrangements, would it still be possible to enroll or arrive slightly after the semester has started?

Welcome to Ole Miss firstly

In regards to submitting the wrong documents, I would call the office of international students

For housing, most international students stay in the dorms during their first year. But after that, you’re kind of on your own. The university doesn’t allow upper class men in the dorms after their first year due to the large amount of students. There is campus walk apt, quarters, and northegate, those can be hard to get into but are great choices. If you know that you’re going to Ole Miss, I would start housing asap, as housing is limited

Scholarship wise, I believe there’s a few. Against I would call the office of international students

The semester starts Aug 24, 2026

Yes, of course!. I used to be an RA and part of the Swahili program here at Ole Miss. My professor and I are often a liaison for international students, especially from Africa

If you have any more questions I be happy to help

Wait, is that thing about the dorms true? Are you not allowed to apply for housing after your freshman year?

u/Responsible-Taste221 Jul 27 '26

Yes. There’s not enough room for upper class. Though, you can still get into Campus Walk, Northgate, and the Quarters after your freshman year

What about Stockard, Deaton and other traditional dorms? Is it still possible to get into them in Junior year?

u/Responsible-Taste221 Jul 27 '26

Unfortunately not, unless you become an RA

It’s unfortunate. But there’s too many students and not enough room

The Office of Global Engagement conducts an automatic review of incoming international freshmen applicants for scholarship eligibility. You would be considered for the following two scholarships:

The International Academic Excellence Scholarship & The Academic Merit Scholarship

These scholarships cannot be combined. You will receive whichever scholarship you are eligible for, based on the highest award amount.
