The offices of the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning and the Office of Student Financial Aid have returned to normal operations and full functionality following the recent network security incident.
Our Mission
The Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning, under the governance of its Board of Trustees, will operate as a strong public university system with eight distinct, mission-driven universities, and will enhance the quality of life of Mississippians by effectively meeting their diverse educational needs. In so doing, the IHL system will be characterized by, and become nationally recognized for, its emphasis on student achievement and on preparing responsible citizens; its adherence to high academic standards and to quality in instruction, research, service and facilities; and its commitment to affordability, accessibility, and accountability.
