Summer Academy at The University of Mississippi

The University of Mississippi’s Summer Academy gives students entering grades 9-12 a taste of college life by offering a two-week residential academic program. Summer Academy offers four sessions with different courses offered during each session. Each course offered is listed in the Mississippi curriculum framework, but not generally offered in high school curricula across the state. Students can

earn a 1/2 Carnegie unit that may be counted by their high school toward elective graduation requirements, however, whether credit is counted or not is determined by each student’s high school. In-state, as well as out-of-state students who attend public, private, parochial or who are home- schooled, are welcome to apply as long as they meet the following criteria:
1) Students must be rising 9th,10th, 11th, or 12th graders and be in good academic and conduct standing.
2) Students must have an overall 3.0 GPA for their last three years in school and the Fall 2016 semester.
3) Students must have standardized achievement test scores at or above the present grade level for their last three years in school
