Important Dates & Current Costs

Calendar 

We welcome students for summer terms, one semester, or the academic year.

The Fall 2023 semester arrival day is set as August 12 and 13, 2023. If you arrive on August 12 or August 13 between 8:00am and 10:00pm at the Memphis, Tennessee airport (MEM), we will pick you up and transport you to Oxford, Mississippi free of charge. If you plan on arriving before August 12, you will need to secure a hotel room near the airport until August 12 or arrange your own transportation to Oxford and stay in a hotel until on-campus housing opens on August 12. 
Please note that Orientation is mandatory and that free transportation to and from airport will only be provided on Official Arrival and Departure Days. You do not need to physically sign up for orientation. As an incoming exchange student, we will have helpful information for you and will anticipate your presence at orientation.
