Student Health and Safety

Supervision of Minors

The University of Mississippi and the Office of Pre-College Programs values the safety of all our students. All staff and counselors undergo thorough training and background checks before our summer programs. We have policies and guidelines in place to ensure the safety and supervision of all students.

Medical Care

All students participating in any program offered by the Office of Pre-College Programs must complete and return a Program Medical Form, including required documents (e.g. shot records, insurance card, parent’s driver’s license).

After students start the program's registration process, the medical form will be added to their online checklist. This form allows our office to seek medical treatment if a student becomes sick or injured. Students who do not submit this form by May 15th will not be able to join the program.

For non-emergency care, students will be taken to an urgent care facility with parental approval between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. Outside of these hours, and with parental approval, students will be taken to the emergency room at Baptist-Memorial Hospital North Mississippi.

Safety on Campus

Year after year, the Ole Miss campus is one of the safest in the nation. The University of Mississippi places great importance on the safety and security of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors on campus.

The University of Mississippi Police Department (UPD) is a full-service state accredited and CALEA-recognized law enforcement agency that operates 24/7. UPD handles all campus police and security matters and enforces state laws as well as University policies and guidelines. UPD officers regularly patrol the campus by vehicle, bicycle, motorcycle, and on foot.
