Requesting Class Permit

In fall and spring semesters, most online COMM 2381 seats are for UM Global students only. If you are a registered UM Global student, you may contact Courtney Brafford (cmftzgrl@memphis.edu) with the UM Global program for a permit. If you are not a UM Global student, we recommend that you register for one of the face-to-face sections or add your name to the waitlist for the online section you wish to enter. 

A permit is required to register for a course section that is closed to you because it is full or has been labeled "restricted" or "permit required" by the academic department. For almost all subjects, you must request a permit from the academic department offering the subject.

In order to obtain a COMM 2381 Permit, please contact Professor Lori Stallings (lstllngs@memphis.edu)

  1. The Registrar's Office cannot issue permits--only academic departments or advising units can.
  2. A permit gives you permission to register for a class; you, yourself, must actually register for the class through the online registration system.
  3. To see if a department has issued you a permit, check your "Registration Status" screen in Student Self Service.
  4. If the online registration system will not allow you to register for the class, even though the department/unit agreed to issue a permit, contact the office again and explain the problem. The office will need to determine if it issued the permit correctly or if it needs to issue an additional permit or permits.
