Reasonable efforts have been made to cover important matters and to ensure that the contents are accurate. However, there are additional university policies and procedures as well as specific College/School and department policies that are not presented in the Handbook. All official university policies can be found in the online \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://policies.olemiss.edu/\" \\h \u0014University of Mississippi Policy Directory,\u0015 a collection of policies governing the university and subject to change at any time. You will find a Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs section that includes many policies and procedures related to faculty. Use this handbook as a guide, but be sure to check the Policy Directory for all current and updated policies at the University of Mississippi. In the event that areas of policy have been omitted in the Handbook or are not stated clearly, or if ambiguities or inconsistencies are found, decisions will be made by the Provost and other senior leaders of the university, as appropriate.\nOther resources for important university-wide information:\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.mississippi.edu/board/downloads/policiesandbylaws.pdf\" \\h \u0014IHL Policies and Bylaws\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://catalog.olemiss.edu/\" \\h \u0014University of Mississippi Online Academic Catalog\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://olemiss.edu/info/MBook_2020-2021.pdf\" \\h \u0014University of Mississippi M-Book (a student handbook that includes certain policies, \u0015\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://conflictresolution.olemiss.edu/m-book/\" \\h \u0014such as those related to academic discipline)\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://emergency.olemiss.edu/todo.html\" \\h \u0014Emergency Information website (information on what to do in case of emergencies)\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://my.olemiss.edu/irj/portal\" \\h \u0014myOleMiss\u0015  (University's Web portal)\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://olemiss.edu/newsevents/umtoday/\" \\h \u0014UM Today\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://olemiss.edu/helpdesk/faq.php?cat=61\" \\h \u0014RebAlert (emergency text message notification system)\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://emergency.olemiss.edu/weather.html\" \\h \u0014Severe Weather Information\u0015\n*******PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND RESOURCES CAN BE FOUND ON THE \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://provost.olemiss.edu/\" \\h \u0014OFFICE OF THE PROVOST WEBSITE.\u0015   UNIVERSITY COVID-19 POLICIES AND PROTOCOLS WERE LIFTED WITH THE END OF THE FEDERAL PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY ON MAY 11, 2023.
