Subject line: Important information about online course access

Welcome to a new semester at the University of Memphis. 

All students are expected to check their memphis.edu email account on a regular basis. You can customize some settings on your email account at http://iam.memphis.edu.

As an online student, you need to log into your course site(s) on the first day of classes.

  • The University of Memphis uses Desire 2 Learn (D2L) as its course management system. This system is referred to as “eCourseware” as well as “elearn” (which is the URL: http://elearn.memphis.edu).
  • You will have access to your University of Memphis online classes (sections that are listed as Web-100 in the University’s registration system) at 12:01 AM on the first day of classes. You will be able to log in before that time, but your course links will not be listed.
    • To log in, go to http://elearn.memphis.edu and use your UofM UUID and your password (the same ones you use to access your memphis.edu email account). Once you are logged in, please read any system messages and then scroll down to access your courses. Just click on the link to a course to access the course site.
    • All of your UofM courses appear in eCourseware, but not all courses (other than completely online) will have course content available.
  • To access RODP courses (sections that begin with “R”), you will log into http://elearn.rodp.org.If you are enrolled in an RODP course, you will receive a separate email about accessing those courses. Your login credentials for RODP are not the same as those for http://elearn.memphis.edu. If you need more information, please go to http://ecampus.memphis.edu/ RODP.

If you have technical questions or need assistance, please go to http://www.memphis.edu/umtech/ or contact the UofM Helpdesk at 901-678-8888. You can also put in a Helpdesk request at http://umhelpdesk.memphis.edu.

There are resources available for online students via the eCampus Student tab in your my.memphis.edu portal and at http://ecampus.memphis.edu.

We hope that you have a successful semester.
