Elevating Your Student Experience
Big changes are coming in 2026 to make your Ole Miss experience easier, faster, and more connected.
What’s Changing
(and Why It Matters to You)
We’re upgrading the systems behind the scenes to make your day-to-day student life smoother. Two new platforms, Banner and Workday, are replacing a collection of custom and third-party programs (including myOleMiss). Starting March 16, you can begin exploring , which will become the new academic portal in the Fall 2026 semester.
Think fewer logins, fewer steps, and everything you need in one place. Plus, the new systems will be mobile-friendly! These upgrades are part of Encompass, a campus-wide effort to make technology work for you.

A New Hub for Student Jobs
If you work on campus (or want to), is now where you’ll find available student jobs.
In Workday, you can search and apply for jobs in one place, move through a more streamlined hiring process, and experience a more intentional onboarding process.
To search for student jobs, log in to using your university login. In the Workday search bar, type Find Student Jobs and select the task to browse open positions and apply directly in Workday.
