DO I NEED TO REGISTER MY CHARITY? - Labyrinth, Inc.

Registration for summer and fall 2024 begins soon! Students’ designated registration day is determined by their total attempt* hours listed on their unofficial transcript. Our Course Grid, Course Schedule, Registration Memo, Exam Schedule, etc. are posted on the Law Registrar’s website. 

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: A demonstration of the NEW registration process is scheduled for APRIL 8 at NOON in the Wade Auditorium. You want to know how to register on your designated day! 

DESIGNATED REGISTRATION DAYS & TIMES

NOTE: Current semester hours are NOT included in attempted hours.

  • Dual or Joint Degree (MBA, POLI, etc.) courses only – Monday, April 1 @ 7:00 a.m.
  • Veterans – Wednesday, April 10 @ 8:00 a.m.
  • 43+ attempt* hours – Monday, April 15 @ Noon.
  • 15-42 attempt* hours – Wednesday, April 17 @ Noon.
  • 0-14 attempt* hours – Friday, April 19 @  Noon.
  • Current semester hours are NOT included in attempted hours. 

Students are NOT allowed to register earlier than their designated registration day, despite any messaging received from the main campus. This is closely monitored by the Law School Registrar’s office. If a student registers earlier than their designated registration day, they will be dropped from all courses. 

*HOW TO FIND STUDENTS’ “ATTEMPT” HOURS

  • Log into the myMemphis Portal.
  • Under the Student tab, click My Resources then find the Banner Self-Service section.
  • Click Student, then click Student Records, then click Academic Transcript.
  • Choose the current term. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find “Attempt Hours.”
    • NOTE: Attempt hours do NOT include the current semester hours.

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION-RELATED ACADEMIC REGULATIONS: Below are important Academic Regulations to review before registering for classes.

  • Academic Regulation 5.1 – FT students must enroll in at least 12 credit hours (Request a waiver)
  • Academic Regulation 5.1 – FT students may enroll in up to 18 credit hours EXCEPT that (a) a student with less than a 2.5 cumulative grade point average may not enroll in more than 16 credit
    hours and (b) a student enrolled in an externship program may not enroll in more than 16 credit hours, including the externship.  (Request a waiver)
  • Academic Regulation 5.2 – PT students must enroll in at least 8 credit hours, but no more than 11 credit hours
  • Academic Regulation 8.1 – Transfer to FT (Request permission to transfer)
  • Academic Regulation 10.1(b) – Students may not register for courses that have conflicting examination schedules without prior permission from the (Associate) Dean (Request a waiver)
  • Academic Regulation 16.1(d) 1 & 2 – Limitations on Courses for Credit toward Graduation

THIS AND THAT

  • If a student has needed an Alternate PIN in the past registration period, or myMemphis indicates they need one, contact Ms. Edwards. STUDENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO CHECK THIS BEFORE THEIR DESIGNATED REGISTRATION DAY.  An Alternate PIN will prevent registration. Students will be super frustrated, because they may not get a seat in a highly sought-after course.
  • Suppose a student owes the University money and has a hold on their account. In that case, they must have the hold cleared BEFORE their designated registration day or the system will prevent registration.
  • Students need to review the Exam Schedule and check the exam schedule for planned courses. If any courses have conflicting exams, the student must request a waiver from Dean Wilson BEFORE registering for any courses.
  • All Law School registration-related questions or concerns should be communicated to Ms. Cheryl Edwards in the Law Registrar’s office. 

Financial Aid questions? Submit a TigerHelp Request.  

For Tuition/Fees questions or issues, students should submit a ticket to the USBS helpdesk, contact them by phone at 901.678.2712, or in person at 115 Wilder Tower on the U of M main campus.
