You will receive your WebID within 30 days.

Step 4 - Submit your final transcript

1. If you are not an Ole Miss student, we require one official transcript showing your undergraduate degree and the date it was awarded from your degree granting institution. This must come from your degree granting institution directly to us (not from you or from LSAC). We only receive an unofficial copy from LSAC
   
   
2. Your transcript can be submitted electronically if your institution offers the option.  Select University of Mississippi School of Law Admissions as the receiver. If sent by mail: University of MS School of Law, Law Admissions Suite 1050, 481 Chucky Mullins Dr., University, MS 38677

Fall orientation is mandatory for first-year law students. Fall students will have orientation at the beginning of the semester the week before classes begin. Information will be sent out regarding exact dates and schedule. 

Step 6 - DO NOT REGISTER FOR CLASSES

The Law Registrar will register you for your first-year classes.

• Your schedule will be available online via myOleMiss during the last week of July (if all required documents have been received).

Please note: You are under a continuing duty to report any conduct that: 1) you failed to disclose the first time, or 2) has occurred since you filled out your application.

Step 3 - Access your WebID

Once you submit your seat deposit and disclosure, give us a week to set up your account. You will then be tested your WebID and a request to reset your password. You will use your WebID to access your university email account and my.olemiss.edu so it’s important you remember your WebID and password. If, after a week, you have not received your WebID, please contact Allison Lewis.

Step 4 - Submit Final Law School Transcripts

1. We require one official transcript showing your J.D. (Juris Doctor) or first law degree (LL.B. or Bachelor of Laws) degree, and the date it was awarded from your degree granting institution. This must come from your degree granting institution directly to us (not from you or from LSAC).
2. For applicants who earned a (first) law degree outside of the USA: Transcripts must include all courses completed and grades earned as part of the law degree. 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 or physically to the address below:

Step 5 - 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

We will be using Zoom for our online classroom needs. The classes will be recorded and recordings made available to LL.M. and Certificate students through Box.
