OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 OK, college students, did you forget to buy your meal plan? Do you have a question about financial aid? Have you not yet paid your registration fee? Well, while you may be a bit behind schedule, there\u2019s no cause for concern.<\/p>\n
The University of Mississippi offices of the Bursar and Financial Aid, as well as the ID Center and the Department of Parking & Transportation, will be open Saturday morning (Aug. 18) as a convenience for parents and students who need to finish up last-minute business. The Department of Student Housing will be open all day Saturday.With more than 5,000 students expected to participate in Move-in Week 2012, being open the Saturday of move-in has become a tradition for student service departments, said Dewey Knight, associate director of financial aid.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s primarily available for parents who are helping their students to move in on Friday and perhaps don\u2019t have time to drop everything to come to our offices and take care of business affairs,\u201d Knight said. \u201cWe wanted to better serve students and parents so that they don\u2019t have to wait until Monday to tie up loose ends.\u201d<\/p>\n
