Looking for RODP courses? You can select RODP courses on the UM Spectrum registration system by going to “Class Schedule” or "Look up Classes". Highlight the first subject, then go to Edit in the top menu of your browser and choose "select all". For "Instructional Method" choose either “RODP WEB Asynchronous UG” (Undergraduate), RODP WEB Asynchronous GR (Graduate) or RODP WEB Asynchronous DSP (Developmental Studies Program). Selecting these instructional modes will give you a list of RODP courses available in any subject area.

Have you enrolled in an RODP online course? If so, please read over the following steps to get prepared for class.
Online Course Management Software
The University of Memphis utilizes "eLearn" for RODP online courses. We strongly recommend all new online students review this software before the semester starts. You can learn more about it at our Student Services Tutorial web site.
1. Be sure your University of Memphis e-mail account is active well before the semester starts and watch for e-mails with important information about your RODP online class. If your account is not active, go to the University of Memphis homepage at www.memphis.edu and click on the "Spectrum" link or call 901-678-8888 for assistance.
2. Order your books through the
TBR Virtual Bookstore. Students are responsible for having their textbooks by their first assignment. Failure to obtain your book on time is not an acceptable excuse for missed assignments.
3. Students enrolled for the fall semester will have access to their courses beginning Saturday, August 23rd. Beginning on that date, go to elearn.rodp.org to form your user name and password and log-in to your RODP course. You will not have access to your class before Saturday, August 23rd, and your instructor will not send you an email with information.
If you have technical difficulties accessing your course (logging in, timing out, using your course tools) please call the AskRODP Help Desk at: Toll free number 1-866-550-7637 or go to their website at: askrodp.custhelp.com (NOTE: You must be a registered RODP student.)
**Note: Some RODP courses require your midterm and final exam be given to you by a proctor. (Someone appointed to supervise students during exams.) Once you have logged in for the first time, your instructor will indicate in their syllabus if you will need to obtain a proctor.
If you do need a proctor, first contact the proctor at your home institution. If the testing location of your home institution does not meet your needs, you may choose a different TBR institution from the proctor site list. For a list of all proctor locations go to this link: www.rodp.org/students/proctorsites.htm If you cannot find a suitable TBR institution, you may work with your instructor to find a proctor at some other location, such as at a public library or other non-TBR school or institution.
