Stay Connected


The University of Memphis now has an app, so you can stay connected to the University at all times.  This app is free and includes grades, email, maps, and other important campus information.  Make sure to download it today!
 
Stay connected to the University of Memphis any time, any place, through the University’s free mobile app.

Mobile AppThere’s something for everyone," said Allecia Powell, U of M webmaster. "Included are class schedules, a campus map, campus events, directory, grades, class rosters, campus card balances, athletic news, feedback, library information, Blue Line map and coming attractions."

Access to account-sensitive information requires a valid University UUID and password, but most components are available to the public. Users may download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play for free — just search for "UofMemphis."

The interactive map of campus has four tabs: dining halls and parking lots, buildings, emergency phone locations and handicap-accessible entrances to buildings. The new map can also use GPS to provide straight-line directions for the user to a selected location.

The campus directory of faculty, staff and students is located under the top search bar. Below the bar is a list of important campus phone numbers, such as Police Services or the U of M operator. Tapping the department or name automatically dials the number.

Both official and unofficial student grades are viewable under the grades tab, and the class roster lists each class a particular faculty member teaches in a given semester. Users can view account balances for Tiger Funds and Dining Dollars. These components require login.

The library tab has everything the U of M Libraries site offers in one simple list, such as Ask a Librarian, catalog search, and hours and locations.

The Blue Line component has a map with the route and real-time bus locations for the new bus transportation system.
