Registration: Basic Steps

2. Select the Registration and Records tile on the Student page. Here 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.
