If your transcripts do not indicate the date the law degree was awarded, you must also submit an official or officially certified diploma or degree-completion certificate. To be official, transcripts and degree completion certificates must indicate the issuing institution’s official and original seal, stamp, or signatures. Applicants whose transcripts are issued in a language other than English must submit certified English translations of their transcripts and degree completion certificates.
3. Your degree granting institution must send us your official law school transcript electronically to Allison Lewis at aclewis5@olemiss.edu or physically to the address below:
   University of Mississippi School of Law,
   Allison Lewis,
   Center for Air and Space Law,

   University, MS
   38677-1848,
   +1-662-915-7361

Step 6 - For International Students

1. The University of Mississippi Office of International Programs (OIP) assists international students with arrival, adjustment, and immigration advising.The OIP website provides information on many topics that would be helpful for incoming international students, including:
   • Explanation of Visa categories sponsored by the University of Mississippi
   • Obtaining a Visa stamp for entry to the United States
   • Arriving in the United States
   • Traveling as a current student/scholar
   • Transportation options to/from the Oxford area
   • Obtaining a Mississippi Driver's License
2. Currently, the OIP is working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Student and Exchange Visitor Program, to obtain DHS certification in order to be authorized to issue 1-20 forms to those admitted to the newly established LL.M. program.  The I-20 is a necessary document for those who will be applying at a U.S. consulate/embassy for an F-1 student visa for use in entering the U.S.  Most nonimmigrant students will require F-1 status, however, some students (primarily those who will receive funding for the LL.M. program from a source other than personal or family funds) may be eligible for the J-1 student category.  OIP will assist in determining the appropriate visa category for admitted students.
   
3. In addition to the health insurance coverage stated in Step 6 above, some international students are required to submit an Affidavit of Financial Support.  This is required for those international students intending to hold F-1 or J-1 visa status only. Please see the Office of International Programs, Financial Matters page, for more information on a broad range of financial topics, from cost of study at UM, tax information, Social Security, and banking.
4. There are exceptions to the rule so every international student must contact the OIP to determine international student visa requirements. Please contact:Jean Robinson
