Admitted Students

If you are a recently graduated high school senior who has earned college credit through another college or university, you must request that an official transcript from that college or university be sent to the Office of Admissions at Southern Miss. We cannot accept credit that appears on your high school transcript.

The University of Southern Mississippi will allow students to earn college credit by examination through Advanced Placement (AP) testing, the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB) examination, or the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CIE) program. Official score reports must be sent to the Office of Admissions for credit evaluation. Click here to view score conversion charts.

• We will accept a copy of your personal original immunization record, should you have one in your possession. (Your original record is not needed; a copy will be sufficient.)
• If you were immunized in the State of Mississippi, you can contact the Mississippi State Department of Health for a free copy of your immunization record.
• If you are not a Mississippi resident and are unable to access a personal copy of your immunization history, we recommend that you contact your local health department for assistance and guidance.
• If you are ultimately unable to acquire a copy of your immunization history, you can have a medical provider conduct a titer test that proves your MMR immunization.
