UM Chemistry/Undergraduate Advising/Permits for Courses

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS ATTEMPTING TO REGISTER FOR CHEM-1110:

**If you receive the following error message when registering for lecture: "Link error - L1 requirement" and/or "Prerequisite and test score error" when registering for lab, you have not selected a Recitation section. Recitation sections, which are help sessions, are required when registering for lecture. You must register for the lecture and recitation at the same time. If when registering for lecture, recitation, and lab at the same time, you still receive an error, register for the lecture and recitation first.

It is very important that students realize that these permits requests are not for the Regents Online Degree Programs (RODP) classes offered by TBR. For example, CHEM 1110-R50, General Chemistry I and Lab, is intended only for students pursuing online teacher certification and requires special permissions as detailed in the Course Schedule Listing. Please contact Mary Crites at (901) 678-5784 for permits for on-line classes.
