IF YOU’RE READING THIS, PLEASE TELL A FRIEND TO CHECK THE BLOG!

Registration for summer and fall 2022 begins soon! A student’s 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. will be ready soon. A blog post will be made once these materials are posted.

You may have received an email with the subject, “Prepare for Registration – Summer and Fall 2022.” Some of the information contained in the email does NOT pertain to Law students. Any registration-related questions or concerns should be communicated with Ms. Cheryl Edwards in the Law Registrar’s office. 

Financial Aid questions should be sent to Jessica Howell at jhowell7@memphis.edu.  Provide your U-number in the subject line along with “LAW.”

For Tuition/Fees questions or issues, you 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 main U of M campus.

STUDENTS WITH APPROVED ACCOMMODATIONS

You are NOT allowed to register earlier than your designated registration day, despite any messaging to you from the Disability Resources for Students office or the main campus Registrar’s office. This is closely monitored by Ms. Cheryl Edwards, the Law Registrar. If you register prior to your designated registration day, you will be dropped from all courses.

THIS AND THAT

• If you have needed an Alternate PIN in the past registration period, or myMemphis indicates you need one, contact Ms. Edwards. CHECK THIS PRIOR TO YOUR DESIGNATED REGISTRATION DAY.  An Alternate PIN will prevent you from registering.
• If you owe the University money, and you have a hold on your account, you must have the hold cleared prior to your designated registration day or the system will prevent you from registering.
• Once posted, you should review the Exam Schedule and if any courses you plan to enroll in have conflicting exams, you must request a waiver from Dean Wilson BEFORE registering for any courses.
• Questions about registration or problems with registering on your designated day? Contact Ms. Edwards in Law Registrar’s office.
