Registration: Basic Steps

  1. Login to the myMemphis portal with your Username and Password, the same combination used for UofM email. (If you have trouble getting into the portal, call the Helpdesk at 901.678.8888.)

  2. Find the Registration and Records portlet  on the Student page. In this portlet are links to Prepare for Registration, Look Up Classes, and Register for Classes, among others.
    • When selecting any of the registration functions, you will be prompted for a Term. Select the desired term and then click Continue.

Prepare for Registration

Click on Prepare for Registration. This will take you to Registration Status information. Use this screen to:

  • Determine if you have any holds that prevent registration. You cannot register if you have a registration hold. 

    A hold you will see each term is the Financial Responsibility hold. For the Financial Responsibility hold, you will need to acknowledge the financial responsibility statement. The Complete pre-registration acknowledgements (if any) link will take you directly to the acknowledgements site.  Or, copy and paste the Reason to Fix URL (http://sa.memphis.edu/) in a new browser window. Click the Financial Responsibility button and then the Acknowledge button.
