2L/3L Advising Resources

Dear Students,

I am writing to make you aware of some new resources we have for Academic Advising as you plan your courses.

UM Degree

I am excited to announce that the law school now has access to UM Degree, the University’s degree auditing platform. UM Degree will allow you to track your progress toward your JD and show you outstanding requirements as well as options that fulfill those requirements.  If you declare interest in pursuing the Advocacy, Business, Health, or Tax Certificates by completing the Certificate Declaration Form, it can track your progress toward certificate requirements as well.

Please note that UM Degree is not an official record of your degree or certificate progress, but rather a tool for you to use for your planning purposes.  The Law Registrar’s Office and certificate advisor will determine whether you have met your degree and certificate requirements, so please contact the Law Registrar or certificate advisor with any questions.

Schedule Builder

In your myMemphis account, you can access the Schedule Builder tool to build a visual version of your schedule.  The Schedule Builder tool allows you to register with one click once you have added your schedule to your shopping cart.

Academic Advising Website

We have also updated the Academic Advising website with additional helpful resources for you as you plan your course schedule.

One of the new resources is an Academic Advising Worksheet.  This worksheet can help you plan next semester’s courses and begin planning for future semesters as well.

Individual Advising

Dean Aden and Dean Wilson are available for individual advising for students who want to discuss their course selections or have other questions.

If you are unable to come to one of the drop-in advising sessions, schedule an appointment with Dean Wilson here or email Dean Aden to schedule an appointment.

Please bring a completed copy of the Academic Advising Worksheet to your individual meeting.

Thanks,­­
Dean Aden
