Transfer Applicants
|
The University of Memphis welcomes applications from students who have begun college elsewhere.
They may transfer to the University of Memphis with any number of units.
If they have fifteen (15) or more semester units transferable from a fully accredited college or university, students are evaluated primarily on college-level work.
If they have fewer than fifteen (15) transferable units, students are evaluated on a combination of college-level and high school course work, and college entrance examination results.
To qualify for degree-seeking transfer admission, the applicant must request that a transcript from each institution attended be sent directly to the office of admissions.
Transfer applicants who graduated from high school in 1989 or later may also be subject to the high school curriculum requirements found above in the introduction.
To make this determination, a high school transcript is necessary.
Therefore, all transfer applicants whose high school graduation date was in 1989 or later should have a transcript mailed directly from their high school to the office of admissions.
Concealment of previous college or university attendance may be cause for rejection or cancellation of admission.
Admission may be granted to applicants who have honorable dismissal from the last institution attended and whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) meets the required minimum established by the Tennessee State Board of Regents, as stated below:
| Semester hours attempted |
Minimum GPA |
| 14.99 or less |
No minimum* |
| 15.00-29.99 |
1.40 |
| 30.99-50.99 |
1.70 |
| 51.00-67.99 |
1.90 |
| 68.00 and above |
2.00 |
*Transfer applicants with fewer than 15.00 attempted semester hours must meet the admission requirements for freshman
applicants.
Transfer applicants who have been academically dismissed from the last institution they attended or do not meet the GPA requirements listed above, will not be considered for admission until at least one regular semester (not to include summer sessions) has elapsed.
After this period, these applicants must submit a new application (no additional fee required).
If acceptance to the university is granted, the applicant will be admitted on academic probation.
Students on probation at their previous school will continue in that academic status.
Transfer applicants who are denied admission should contact the office of admissions to discuss the possibilities of attending the university in the future.
