COVID-19 Procedures

The University of Mississippi Career Center is committed to serving our campus community and employer partners and offering support and resources during this unprecedented time. In keeping with federal, state, local, and university guidelines, the Career Center will follow all parameters and protocol to maintain the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, employer partners, and other guests who visit the Career Center.  We will offer services and programs according to social distancing guidelines through virtual platforms and, when possible, in-person. These guidelines work to explain the COVID-19 Procedures for our Employers.

NOTE: These guidelines are subject to change as new information becomes available from government, state, and university officials. We will update these guidelines as quickly as possible when changes are made.
