Important Links & Forms
Already a student at Ole Miss but want to change your major to journalism or integrated marketing communications? Please complete this form so that we may better serve you.
Submit at least two semesters before the term in which you intend to graduate. An email with a link to the Intent to Graduate Form will be sent, and a Dean’s hold will be placed on your account. You’ll get an email when you’ve reached enough hours to apply and a dean’s hold will be put on your account until you fill it out.
Need a reminder of what classes you've taken and what you have left? Complete a degree audit to see your progress towards fulfillment of degree requirements.
Need to be added to a course? This form is for journalism and IMC courses only. This is only required if you seek permission to add a class to your schedule after each semester's 10th day of classes.
Taking a class at another institution? You may be eligible for class credit at Ole Miss. The School of Journalism and New Media requires students to receive prior approval to earn credit for all courses taken at another institution. Written permission must be granted by the dean’s office before enrolling in courses to be transferred. Unapproved transfer courses will not be accepted.
Complete the form below if you are appealing to repeat a course. Students should only complete this form if this is their third time repeating a course. Once the form is submitted to the committee, you will be contacted regarding their decision.
Need to take two classes simultaneously that are prerequisites for each other? Submit this form if you seek approval to take pre-requisite and core courses simultaneously in the SOJNM.
According to the UM policy, students are limited to enrolling in certain credit hours per session. Students who wish to exceed the maximum number of credit hours in a session must request that any course going over the limit be added by the Office of the Dean. Permission will only be given if there is a compelling reason, and the student must have a cumulative GPA four-tenths of a point above 2.0 for each extra hour desired.
Please complete this form if you want to withdraw from a course after the official deadline. You will need permission from the Assistant Dean of Student Services in the SOJNM.
