If you have a "C2" registration hold you have an Admissions Deficiency. The Tennessee Board of Regents specifies specific high school units, or courses, that a student must have earned in high school before being admitted to one of its colleges and/or universities (See TBR Academic guidelines A-015). If you did not take that course in high school you have an admission deficiency.

Although you may be admitted to the University, if you are admitted with a deficiency, your admission is conditional. This means you must take the course as a part of your academic curriculum. You may take the course while either attending The University of Memphis, or any institution recognized by the Tennessee Board of Regents. The Center for Academic Retention and Enrichment Services will act as a liaison between you and the Tennessee Board of Regents to insure you comply with the Boards standards and your progress will monitor your progress.
