Tiger Smart Start 

This program, for UofM undergraduate students, is an institution-wide response to the increasing number of students who lack access to required course material due to cost. This program makes getting textbooks easier for students, which will ultimately improve their success at UofM. Tigers SmartStart is estimated to reduce the cost of traditional textbook purchases by an average of 40 to 50% and provide them by the first day of class.

Additionally, the time saved and added convenience of having all your required course materials sourced for you, ready for pick-up or shipped and automatically loaded into your Canvas account can remove a significant burden and allow students to focus on their success and preparation for the semester!

Spring opt-out dates will be from Friday, January 3, 2025, through Friday, January 31, 2025. 

Parking & Transportation 

For students, General Permit Parking is paid for through the Maintenance Fee portion of your semester tuition. Once you have registered for classes, a semester validation sticker will be mailed to the address on file with Student Records. New students are mailed a permit (hangtag) along with a semester validation sticker prior to fee payment. The UofM permit (hangtag) must be updated every semester with a current semester validation sticker.

If, for any reason, the student does not receive the semester validation sticker or permit through mail, he/she needs to come to the Parking & Transportation Services Office to obtain one. There is a grace period for the first full week of class for those who have not received a permit/sticker. Those who have not picked up either of these will be subject to receiving a citation after the grace period. 

Meal Plans 

It's time to select and purchase your 2024 - 2025 meal plan. Whether you are living on campus or commuting, there is a meal plan for you.  

We have convenient locations that open up early and stay open late. When it comes to product variety you can choose from all-you-care-to-eat options at The Tiger Den Eatery, featuring grilled favorites, a full salad bar and deli, homestyle entrees and more! You can also use Flex Bucks at the University Center and across campus (excluding Starbucks and vending).

Of course, it’s not just about the food. Our programs are constantly changing to address the issues of nutrition and health as well as create an atmosphere that makes dining on campus a relaxing break in the day from the pressures of student life. Students enjoy themed meals and special events to make dining a social event with friends.

Together with Togetherall

We know college comes with a unique set of obstacles, opportunities, successes, and setbacks. The freedom and adventure that you’re experiencing as a student can also come with feelings of loneliness, worry, and stress. That’s a lot to process.

This is why University of Memphis has chosen to partner with a company providing virtual peer-to-peer mental health and wellbeing support- Togetherall.

UofM Counseling Center Resources

The Counseling Center at the University of Memphis is a comprehensive agency providing personal/psychological counseling, career counseling and psychological/vocational testing for students. Goals of the center include enhancing the development of the total person, contributing to the educational mission of the University through counseling, service to the campus and community, and services that seek to assist in the retention of students.

If you are experiencing a crisis emergency during business hours (Monday to Friday 8:00-4:30) please call 901.678.2068, visit 214 Wilder Tower, or enter our virtual waiting room between 10:00-3:00. If this is after business hours please call 901.678.2068 and push 2.
