Advising for Summer and Fall 2015 Classes

• All undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences are required to meet with their advisor prior to registration for classes for Summer and Fall 2015.
• If your advisor has sent you information about making appointments, please follow those instructions.
• Otherwise, please check the document at this link for details of how and when to make an appointment with our Arts and Sciences advisors: http://www.memphis.edu/cas/docs/advis_av_summer-fall2015.doc

• UM-Lambuth students will be advised on the Lambuth campus.
• You can locate your advisor’s name through the Academic Advising and Planning channel on the Student tab on your myMemphis portal.
• If your advisor is not listed in myMemphis and you do not know who it is, please check Finding Your Advisor.
• If you need assistance determining who your advisor is, please e-mail me.

• If you are considering changing majors and need assistance, this webpage may help you: https://umdrive.memphis.edu/pakrech/www/majors.html
• Prepare for your meeting with your advisor.

• Your advisor may ask you to check the degree evaluation, UMdegree, available on the Student tab in your myMemphis portal before your meeting, or to create a list of possible courses in the Planner section.

• Your advisor may have given you a degree sheet to use for posting your classes.  Be sure to update it with the courses you are enrolled in this semester and take it to your meeting.  If your advisor did not give you a degree sheet, use the appropriate version of one of our degree sheets (based on the Undergraduate Catalog you are under) to post your completed coursework: http://www.memphis.edu/cas/degree_sheets.htm

• Registration begins April 6 based on classification (Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and then Freshmen). For the best chance of creating an ideal schedule, you should set up an advising appointment in the next few weeks so that you will be ready for your first opportunity to register.  Check the Summer and Fall 2015 schedules for the exact dates: http://www.memphis.edu/registrar/calendars/semester.htm

• Seeing your advisor early will ensure that you can get an appointment before time to register.  Those who wait until April to schedule an appointment may not be able to see their advisor until after their first opportunity to register.

• Many advisors are not as available in the summer due to other commitments, so please go ahead and see your advisor during the next few weeks and register for classes on time.

• Dates for Registration access and the Summer and Fall semesters will be on the Dates and Deadlines calendars at this link: http://www.memphis.edu/registrar/calendars/semester.htm

• You might want to use the Advising and Registration Worksheet on this page to prepare a schedule to propose to your advisor:
