ADMISSIONS
ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY

The University of Memphis offers equal educational opportunity to all persons without regard to race, religion, sex, creed, color, national origin, or disability. Inquiries about admission to any college of the university should be addressed to the Office of Admissions. This office receives and processes all applications, evaluates credentials, and issues notices of acceptance to qualified students. Undergraduate students may enter at the beginning of either of the fall or spring semesters or at the beginning of any term of the summer session.

The University of Memphis encourages all those who feel they can benefit from the educational opportunities offered by the institution to file an application for admission. Consideration is given to age, educational background, entrance examination scores, high school grades, any college attendance, and any other special talents and/or special circumstances which may affect the applicant's academic performance.

Certain instructional programs of the university are subject to special admission requirements and are subject to change according to the availability of institutional resources. Students wishing to enter one of these programs of study should check with the appropriate department or division offering the program in order to become familiar with these special requirements. Undergraduate programs with special admission requirements include, but are not limited to, professional degrees in art, music, or theatre (Bachelor of Fine Arts or Bachelor of Music), teacher education, educational services, nursing, and the University College.

Students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Early admission contributes to better orientation, course planning, class scheduling and financial aid consideration. High school students planning to apply as freshmen should submit applications as soon as possible after completion of the junior year. Applications for admission are available from many secondary school/guidance counseling offices and from the Office of Admissions, The University of Memphis, Memphis, TN 38152. All credentials become the property of the university and cannot be forwarded or returned.

Credentials will be maintained in active files for a 12--month period. After this period, credentials will be relegated to inactive status and must be submitted again before an admission decision can be made.

Regulations in this section are subject to change without notice.

ADMISSION AS DEGREE-SEEKING UNDERGRADUATES

The deadlines for submitting applications for admission are: August 1 for the fall semester, December 1 for the spring semester, and May 1 for the summer session. Applications received after these deadlines may be delayed in processing or processed at the non-degree level.

Freshman Applicants

An applicant who has no previous college enrollment may be considered for admission as a regular undergraduate freshman by submitting the following to the Admissions Office:

1. A final transcript of all high school credits: Early decisions can be made by submitting partial transcripts (6th or 7th semester). Transcripts carried by the student are not acceptable for the admissions file. If any courses have been taken for college credit, the institution(s) granting credit must be contacted and asked to send an official transcript to The University of Memphis, Office of Admissions.

   Graduates of an unapproved or non-accredited high school must take the General Educational Development (GED) test and earn an average standard score of at least 45. This GED requirement is waived for students who earn the minimum ACT required for guaranteed admission. However, the GED may be advisable for students who graduated in 1989 or thereafter from an unapproved or non-approved high school and are deficient in one or more of the required high school courses. Students who have achieved a high school diploma through the General Education Development (GED) Test must also have the GED scores sent to the Office of Admissions. Students who do not present one unit of American History are required to register for the course during their first or second year at the university.

2. The score report of the American College Testing program (ACT) or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT): The score report is a necessary part of the application and the test date should be no more than three years old at the time of enrollment.

3. A non-refundable application fee of $5.00.

4. Any additional items and information requested in the application materials by the Office of Admissions.

   Students will be considered for admission with a minimum high school grade point average of 2.00 on a 4.00 scale or a 19 composite score on the enhanced ACT.

   Students will be guaranteed admission with a 3.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale from an accredited or approved high school or a minimum ACT composite score of 20 on the enhanced ACT or the equivalent on the former ACT and satisfactory completion of the required high school curriculum.

   The average high school grade point average for the entering class of 1994 is 2.97, and the average ACT composite is 22.2.

   Applicants with special talents or circumstances who do not meet requirements for guaranteed admission may be considered. For further information contact the Office of Admissions. Applicants with diagnosed learning disabilities should contact the Director of the Office for Students with Disabilities for further information.

High School Curriculum Required For Admission

No high school curriculum can assure that a given student will acquire desired learning outcomes; however, the absence of certain components greatly increases the likelihood that the student will not acquire those outcomes and reduces the likelihood that the student will enjoy maximum benefits of a college experience. The justification for colleges' recommending or requiring specific high school units for admission is to reduce the likelihood that a student will be unprepared for effective work in college and to increase maximum benefits a student may enjoy.

Effective the Fall Semester 1989, among the units required for graduation, the following specific high school units must be included in the minimum admissions requirements at all Tennessee State Board of Regents universities and colleges.

Students who do not take one or more of these required courses, where they are available, may not be eligible for admission to the university.

ENGLISH (4 units required): Units in this category must address reading and literature, writing, speaking and listening, and principles concerning the English language. Extensive experience in reading and writing should characterize all courses.

VISUAL AND/OR PERFORMING ARTS (l unit required): Units in this category should include a survey of the arts (visual arts, theater, music, and dance) or active participation in one or more of the arts.

MATHEMATICS (3 units required): Units in this category must include Algebra I, Algebra II, and geometry or an advanced course with geometry as a major component. Students are recommended to take a fourth unit in computing, advanced mathematics, or statistics. All college freshmen will benefit by having studied mathematics as seniors.

NATURAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES (2 units required): Units in this category must include mathematical skills, fundamental concepts, and some laboratory and field work. At least one unit must address detailed knowledge in the more traditional fields of biology, chemistry, or physics and must include a laboratory.

SOCIAL STUDIES (2 units required): For students graduating prior to spring 1993, the units in this category may include: history, government, geography, economics, sociology, psychology, or anthropology. For students graduating in the spring 1993 or thereafter, these units must come from the following: modern history, ancient history, world history, world geography, or European history. One unit in American History is also required.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE (2 units required): Two units in a single foreign language are required in this category.

These stipulated high school units are not intended to specify what the total high school curriculum should be. Secondary schools seek to meet the needs of various student clienteles, one of which is the college-bound student. The stipulations are, on the other hand, an attempt to make a strategic application of academic competencies. They reflect the bridge from specific desired learning outcomes to a list of required college admission criteria. That list is composed of high school units presumed most likely to result in the required learning outcomes. For the sake of clarity, one unit constitutes one year of high school study of a given subject.

Applicants with subject deficiencies may, with proper institutional approvals, be admitted to the university; however, the deficiencies must be removed during the first 64 semester hours (30 semester hours for transfer students) of college enrollment. College level courses taken to remove unit deficiencies must be completed with a grade of C or better and will be used for elective credit only. Different requirements may be specified for certain groups of applicants: adult students (i.e., students separated from high school graduation by three or more years), GED students who are not high school graduates, and international students. Transfer and re-entry students may be required to remove any deficiencies before regular admission.

OUT-OF-STATE APPLICANTS

Acceptance to the university for out-of-state applicants who meet guaranteed admission standards may be granted on the same basis as for in-state applicants. Acceptance for all other out-of-state applicants is competitive.

Out of state applicants who qualify for and participate in the University Honors Program may qualify for a waiver of the out-of-state tuition differential.

EARLY ADMISSION APPLICANTS

Academically outstanding high school juniors who have completed three academic years of high school, accumulating at least 14 units of course work may be considered for early admission if they have the following:

1. A minimum high school cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.00 scale.

2. A minimum ACT composite score of 26 on the enhanced ACT or the equivalent on the former ACT.

3. Written recommendations from high school principal and guidance counselor.

4. An interview with U of M faculty/staff committee selecting early admission students.

In addition, they must agree to enroll in freshman English, and, unless successfully completed in high school, courses in American history and economics.

NOTE: Early admission applicants should also check with their high school for specific graduation requirements.

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 this section of the catalog. 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 Admissions Office. 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
	30.00-50.99			1.70
	51.00-67.99			1.90
	68.00 and above			2.00

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 provide the following:

1. a new application (no additional fee required), and

2. an acceptable ACT or SAT score.

NOTE: Applicants who meet one of the criteria outlined in the Adult Students section do not have to submit an acceptable ACT or SAT score.

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 Applicant Services section of the Office of Admissions to discuss the possibilities of attending the university in the future.

Adult Students

The University of Memphis encourages the enrollment of adult students. In order to facilitate this, the university offers additional support services and alternative admission policies to promote the enrollment of the mature student. These services include but are not limited to evening and week-end classes through the MINI College. The Adult Student Development Office offers child care during class attendance, tutoring programs, the Adult Student Association and much more.

In addition, adult students generally are not required to provide an entrance examination for admission. They may, however, be expected to complete a placement instrument depending on individual circumstances.

Adult students are those applicants who meet one of the following criteria:

1. at least 24 years of age
2. at least 21 years of age and have been away from school for some time

For further information, please contact the Adult Student Development Office in Room 419 in the University Center.

International Students

The University of Memphis believes that the presence of a balanced representation of international students on campus will enrich the educational environment of all students. Therefore, the university is authorized under federal law to enroll nonimmigrant, alien students on "F-1" and "J-1" student visas. Applicants must file complete credentials before May 1 for fall admission; September 15 for spring admission; or February 1 for summer admission. Complete credentials include all the documents listed below under "Requirements."

The international application should be completed carefully and returned to the Office of Admissions, The University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee, 38152, U.S.A. Applications and fees received after the stated deadlines will be returned.

A non-refundable international application and processing fee of $30.00 (thirty dollars) is required of every international applicant, unless previously paid. A check or money order, made payable to The University of Memphis, must be sent with the application form. Applications received without the fee will be returned.

International applicants should write to the Office of Admissions for information on application procedures, qualifications, and admission to the university. Since there is considerable variation among educational systems throughout the world, international applicants will be selected on a competitive basis, after meeting the minimum standards of admission using examination scores, grade point average, relevance of academic background to intended major field of study and recommendations from the World Education Series. The university often receives more applications than can be approved; therefore, admission cannot be granted to all applicants who meet only the minimum requirements.

Since the enrollment of international students is based on a global sampling and representation, priority will be given to applicants with exceptional credentials who will be attending a university in the United States for the first time.

All transcripts, test scores, and other credentials must be accompanied by an official English translation of these documents and must be on file in the Office of Admissions by the stated deadlines before the beginning of registration for the intended term of entry.

REQUIREMENTS

1. Educational Background: Applicants must list on the form provided by the university every school attended, beginning with primary school, to the present, including each primary, secondary, and post secondary institution.

2. Required Transcripts: Applicants must arrange for the Office of Admissions to receive official copies of academic records from the applicant's attendance at secondary school, college, university, and professional institutions of learning. These transcripts must be sent directly from the high school or college to The University of Memphis. An exception is made for those who hold the bachelor's degree or its equivalent in that they need not send their secondary school records. Records should list the subjects studied and the grade, mark, or other evidence that each individual subject was completed to the satisfaction of the authorities in charge. If it is impossible for the school to send us an official copy, copies certified by an official at the American Embassy or a known world organization may be acceptable. All records must be in English. Since certificates and records filed for examination are not ordinarily returned, applicants should send certified photostatic copies if the documents in question cannot be easily replaced.

3. Required Test of All Applicants: All applicants whose native language is not English must supply results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language TOEFL) or its equivalent. TOEFL information may be obtained by writing: TOEFL, Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, U.S.A. All test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency to The University of Memphis.

4. Freshman Test Required: Applicants to the first year undergraduate level must submit scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Testing Program (ACT). These tests are available only in English. For information on the SAT, applicants may write to College Entrance Examination Board, Box 592, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540, U.S.A. For information on the ACT, applicants may write to American College Testing Program, P.O. Box 414, Iowa City, Iowa, 52243, U.S.A. All test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency to The University of Memphis.

5. Financial Statement: U.S. visa regulations require that certification of admission be based on both academic acceptance and satisfactory evidence of adequate funds to meet the expenses involved in the student's program of study. Applicants on an "F-1" student visa must supply, on the form provided by the university, sufficient evidence of financial support for themselves and all members of their families who will accompany them to Memphis. This requires that applicants certify that their intent is to attend the university full time and that no employment will be required.

7. Health Certificate Required: Each international student, within 30 days from the first day of classes, must submit a certificate from a licensed U.S. physician or other qualified U.S. medical authority verifying freedom from tuberculosis. Failure to do so shall result in denial of enrollment. In the event that the student either has tuberculosis or has potential tuberculosis requiring medical treatment, continued enrollment will be conditioned upon the determination by a licensed U.S. physician that such enrollment does not present a risk to others and upon the student's compliance with any prescribed medical treatment program.

In order to enroll, all international students born after January, 1957, must prove that they have been inoculated with the live measles vaccine (MMR) since January, 1980. Exceptions are made for students who are pregnant or allergic to the vaccine.

8. All international students must purchase a health insurance policy through the university or provide evidence of government sponsored health insurance before they are allowed to enroll.

9. English Placement Examination: All international applicants who are accepted must take an English placement examination, administered by the English Department, before enrollment. Placement in an English class will be determined by the results of this examination. International students should arrange to be on campus approximately one week before the beginning of Regular Registration for the proposed term of entry.

10. International students will not normally be allowed to register as transient students (those regularly enrolled and in good standing at another institution who desire to attend The University of Memphis for only a limited period of time). During summer sessions, exceptions may be granted only in cases where a student has an outstanding academic record and unusual circumstances are present.

11. International students who wish to apply for readmission to the university must meet the deadlines stated above.

12. International students must become familiar with the regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and assume responsibility for complying with these regulations.

13. International students should be prepared to attend a four- to five-day mandatory orientation prior to the first day of class.

Combination Senior

An undergraduate student with a total cumulative GPA of at least 3.25, who has filed with his or her graduation analyst a plan for completing the bachelor's degree within two semesters, with the approval of the college director of graduate studies, may request to enroll concurrently in undergraduate and selected graduate courses. Students may earn up to 12 hours of graduate credit while enrolled as a Combination Senior. Approval to register for graduate credit does not imply approval for admission into a graduate program at the university or that the credit earned will be accepted towards a graduate degree. After the bachelor's degree is awarded, a Combination Senior may be admitted to a graduate degree program. Courses taken for graduate credit may not be used for both the baccalaureate and graduate degrees.

Former Students
(Readmission)

Former undergraduate students who wish to return to the university at the same level as when they previously attended and have missed any academic term excluding summer, must file an application for readmission. This form should be secured, completed, and returned to the Admissions Office. If the student has enrolled at another institution since last attending The University of Memphis, a transcript must be forwarded to the Admissions Office. An applicant will receive favorable consideration only if eligible for readmission under all university regulations, including the grade point average (GPA) for transfer students. (NOTE: International students who wish to apply for readmission to the university must meet the deadlines for new admission for international students.)

ADMISSION AS NON-DEGREE UNDERGRADUATES

Applicants who wish to apply at this level are encouraged to apply by the deadlines as stated for degree-seeking students. Applications will be accepted until the first day of regular registration for the term for which the student is applying. Non-degree students who have attended other colleges will not have their previous college work evaluated for transfer until such time as they have been approved for admission as regular undergraduates. An applicant who has applied as a degree-seeking undergraduate and failed to meet admission requirements must generally wait a fall or spring semester or six months before applying for admission at the non-degree level.

Applicants wishing to enter the university, and who are not presently pursuing a degree, may do so by applying for admission at this level and meeting one of the three conditions listed below:

Applicants with No Previous College

Applicants who have not attended another college or university must:

1. provide proof of high school graduation or the equivalent;
   OR
   
2. be at least 21 years of age and not a current year high school graduate.

3. Applicants who are offered admission with the enhanced ACT composite, English or math subscores less than 19, or the equivalent on the former ACT, will be required to take a placement examination prior to enrollment. Based on the results of the assessment, these applicants may be required to successfully complete remedial and/or developmental courses prior to enrolling in degree credit courses. (See Remedial and Developmental Studies program description in the Independent Programs section of this catalog.)

NOTE: Those applicants under 21 who complete their high school work during the calendar year in which they seek admission will not be considered at this level. These applicants must apply as degree-seeking freshmen.

Applicants with Previous College

Students currently/previously enrolled in an accredited college or university must submit evidence of eligibility to re-enroll at that school.

Those applicants who are admitted as non-degree students are assigned to the Academic Counseling Unit for advising. Non-degree undergraduate students may not take more than 18 semester hours of work in a single term nor may they earn more than 24 semester hours total. This limit may be extended if there has been enrollment at another institution since last attending The University of Memphis.

NOTE: Transient students (those regularly enrolled and in good standing at another institution who desire to attend The University of Memphis for only a limited period of time) should apply at the non-degree level.

Applicants with College Degree

Applicants who (1) have earned a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution; (2) desire to take only a limited number of undergraduate courses; and (3) are not presently working toward a degree at The University of Memphis, may be admitted as non-degree students by providing proof of the degree held and the date it was earned.

Non-degree students may, at any time within the stated deadlines, apply to the Office of Admissions for reclassification as degree-seeking students, effective at the beginning of the next fall or spring semester. Admission procedures and requirements are the same as those for degree-seeking undergraduate applicants with the following clarifications:

1. An acceptable entrance examination score or the equivalent may be required for students wishing to have their level changed to degree-seeking undergraduate status. Applicants who do not meet one of the criteria outlined in the Adult Students section may chose one of the following to complete this requirement:
   1. Submitting an acceptable ACT or SAT score.
      OR
      
   2. Earn at The University of Memphis a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or greater that includes 12 hours or more exclusive of physical activity courses.

   NOTE: Courses defined as remedial or developmental may not be used in satisfying the 2.00 requirement.

2. The high school graduation requirement may be satisfied by any one of the methods listed in the regular undergraduate freshman section of this catalog.

After students are admitted as regular undergraduates, any credit that they may have earned as non-degree-seeking students may apply toward degree programs in the college from which a degree is sought as outlined in this catalog.

Concurrent Enrollment

Outstanding high school students who have completed the junior year may be admitted and register for one college course per term of enrollment concurrently during their senior year provided they supply evidence of the following:

1. A minimum high school cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.20 on a 4.00 scale.
2. An ACT composite score of 22 or above on the enhanced ACT or the equivalent on the former ACT.
3. A recommendation from the applicant's high school principal or guidance counselor.
4. The course concurrently enrolled students register for must be taken outside of their established school day.

NOTE: Departments may establish additional criteria for their courses.

Admission as Audit-Only Undergraduate

Persons who are not enrolled for credit courses may register for audit courses with the approval of the Office of Admissions and the appropriate department chair. These students must have the equivalent of high school graduation or be at least 18 years of age. Clearance will be for one term only. Subsequent enrollment will require an application for readmission. Those who are suffering from a permanent disability that totally incapacitates them from working at an occupation that brings in an income, and persons sixty years of age or older, who are domiciled in Tennessee, may audit courses at The University of Memphis without paying tuition charges, maintenance fees, student activity fees, or registration fees. Admission to audit will be limited on an individual classroom basis according to space availability.

NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION, ADVISING AND REGISTRATION

The academic year consists of two semesters: the fall semester beginning in late August or early September and ending in December; and the spring semester beginning in January and ending in May. A summer session is held between the end of the spring semester and the beginning of the fall semester of the next academic year.

An orientation and academic advising program for all new freshmen is held during the summer. The sessions are conducted to acquaint entering students with various programs of study, general university regulations, and registration procedures. Students are assigned advisors who aid them in selecting appropriate courses. Assistance from the advisor, however, does not relieve students of the responsibility of studying the catalog and fulfilling all of the requirements therein for the specific degree program being pursued. Before students attain senior standing, they should consult with the college level advisor or degree analyst of the college regarding fulfillment of requirements for their chosen degree.

A first-time freshman-full-time or part-time-whose ACT composite score, mathematics subscore, or English subscore used for admission to the university is less than 19 must undergo course placement testing prior to enrollment in the university. Students must enroll in and complete any required Remedial/Developmental Studies courses before enrolling in college-level courses in related areas.

The Schedule of Classes, published before the beginning of each semester, contains a detailed outline of the registration procedures and course changes and additions made since the publication of the Catalog. Students are urged to study these schedules carefully and keep them available for immediate reference during the registration period and throughout the semester. Continuing students register in November for Spring and in April for Summer and Fall. New students are provided an opportunity to register at New Student Orientation programs. A late registration fee is charged beginning the first day of classes, and there is no reduction in other fees.

In no case is credit allowed in any course for which students are not duly registered and which is not entered properly on the official registration material. Registration is not complete until all fees for the semester have been paid.

NOTE: Please refer to the Schedule of Classes for further information and registration procedures.

STUDENT AID

The university Student Financial Aid Office provides financial assistance for students in the form of scholarships, grants loans and student employment. This office counsels with students about college expenses and financial aid opportunities.

All applicants for financial assistance must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) plus any other supporting documents requested by the Student Aid Office. All undergraduate students applying for financial aid must apply for the Federal PELL Grant Program. All required forms may be obtained through the Student Aid Office upon request. The FAFSA is also available in most high school guidance offices.

The preferred application deadline for fall semester is April 1. For the spring semester the preferred application date is November 1. Applications are acknowledged as they are received, and award notices are mailed when all documents are received, usually in early spring for the fall semester. All awards are made on an academic award year basis. All students must reapply for financial aid each year.

SCHOLARSHIPS

The university awards several hundred academic scholarships each year in varying amounts up to $6,600.00. However, most scholarships awarded are awarded to cover the amount of in-state registration fees. Scholastic achievement, leadership qualities, and need are factors utilized in evaluating applicants.

Scholarships are awarded for the academic year and are not available for summer school. Freshmen applying for scholarships must rank in the top twenty-five percent of their high school graduating classes. Currently enrolled students must have at least a 2.5 overall grade point average, and must be enrolled full-time. Current students wishing to be considered for a General University Scholarship must submit a new application each year. The General University Scholarship deadline date is March 1. However, some scholarships have an earlier deadline. Information may be obtained from the Scholarship Office, Room 204, Scates Hall.

THE FEDERAL TAX REFORM ACT OF 1986 significantly changed the tax status of scholarships, fellowships, and grants received from the university. Prior to the Act, they generally were not subject to income tax. Since then, scholarship, fellowship, and grant amounts exceeding tuition, fees, course-related books, supplies, and equipment have become taxable.

DISTINGUISHED SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS

Distinguished scholarships are awarded annually to entering freshmen with outstanding scholastic records without regard to financial need. The deadline to apply for distinguished scholarships is January 15.

All National Merit and National Achievement Semi-Finalists will receive $1,000 per year in addition to any academic scholarship they are awarded.

GRANTS

FEDERAL PELL GRANT

The Federal Pell Grant is a non-repayable, federally funded, grant program for undergraduate students. The amount is determined by the financial eligibility of the student (family) and the cost of college attendance. Students must be admitted as regular undergraduates. Applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for this program.

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT

The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program is a federally subsidized program whereby direct gift awards may be made to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need (priority given to Pell Grant recipients). Normally, Supplemental Grants are awarded as part of the student's financial aid package. The amount awarded per academic year will range from $200 to $2,300.00 depending on the student's established need.

THE TENNESSEE STUDENT ASSISTANCE AWARD PROGRAM

Students who are residents of the State of Tennessee may apply for a Tennessee Student Assistance Award. To apply, a student must submit a FAFSA to the central processing agency. The Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation will then forward correspondence to the applicant. Determination as to grant recipients is made by the state agency in Nashville.

LOANS

FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN PROGRAM

The National Defense Education Act of 1958 provided funds to institutions of higher education for the purpose of making low-- interest, long--term educational loans available to students who demonstrate academic promise and who have a need for financial assistance. These loans bear no interest until six or nine months (depending on when the borrower's first loan debt was incurred) after students graduate or interrupt their course of study. The interest rate is currently five percent per year on the unpaid balance with a maximum repayment period of ten years. For a listing of repayment deferrals and cancellations, contact the Student Aid Office.

FEDERAL DIRECT SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD STUDENT LOAN

The Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan is a low interest loan made through the institution. Depending on financial need, first year undergraduates may borrow up to $2,625 a year; second year undergraduates, up to $3,500 a year, and third, fourth, and fifth year undergraduate students, up to $5,500 a year. Graduate and law students may borrow up to $8,500.00 a year. The total debt an undergraduate student can incur under the program is $23,000. A graduate or law student can incur a total debt of $65,500, including loans made at the undergraduate level. Payment is deferred until six months after the student ceases to carry at least a half-time load. The University of Memphis is a full participant in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program. Under this program all federal student loans (i.e. subsidized, unsubsidized Stafford, and Parent Loan - PLUS) are processed directly through the federal government. No banks, lending institutions or guarantee agencies are involved in processing these loans.

FEDERAL DIRECT UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN

The unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Student Loan is a low interest loan made through the institution. This program is not based on need; however, a student's eligibility for the subsidized Stafford Loan must be determined before an unsubsidized Stafford Loan can be considered. Interest payments are the responsibility of the borrower, even while the student is in school. Only the principal payments are automatically deferred while the student is in school at least half-time. Repayment of both principal and interest begins six months after the student ceases to be enrolled at least half-time.

At The University of Memphis, all unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans are processed directly through the federal government. No banks or lending institutions are involved in this process.

ENTRANCE AND EXIT INTERVIEWS

Entrance and exit interviews are required for the Federal Stafford Loan Program and are designed to provide students an opportunity to learn more about the loan programs under which they are borrowing (borrowers rights and responsibilities).

FEDERAL DIRECT PLUS LOAN

The Federal Direct PLUS Loan is a low interest loan program available to parents of dependent undergraduate students. This loan program is not based on financial need. Students would complete a loan request form to apply for this program. A PLUS application would then be mailed to the parent for completion.

All Federal PLUS Loans at The University of Memphis are processed under the Federal Direct Loan program. No banks or lending institutions are involved under this process.

FREEMAN LOAN PROGRAM

The Freeman Loan Program was established for the sole purpose of providing worthy/needy students loans to help pay a part of their educational costs when other financial assistance is not available. Eligibility for this low interest, long--term loan program is based upon satisfactory academic progress and financial need. Applicants for this program must submit the FAFSA and other documents evidencing financial need.

THE TEACHER LOAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The Teacher Loan Scholarship Program provides that students who have been admitted to or enrolled in any accredited university in Tennessee and who are committed to teaching in the Tennessee public schools may be eligible for up to $1500 per academic year for up to four years. The program is designed to be awarded as a loan, but as trained teachers fulfill their commitment to teach in Tennessee, the loan will be forgiven or turned into a scholarship on a year-for-year basis. In other words, for each year of creditable full-time teaching in math or science under the Tennessee public school system, the recipients shall receive cancellation credit of 25% of the total amount borrowed plus interest accrued. Applications for information about the program or similar programs may be obtained from the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation, the U of M College of Education, or the Scholarship Office.

OTHER LOAN FUNDS

The university maintains a number of small loan funds for assisting students with emergency type situations. Some of these loans are listed below:

The General Everett R. Cook Arnold Air Society Loan Fund was established to provide financial assistance in the form of short-term loans for students enrolled in the Professional Officer Course of the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps.

The General University Loan Fund provides short-term, low interest loans up to $200 for those students in emergency situations.

The General Ralph H. Wooten Loan Fund was established for the purpose of providing low interest educational loans to students enrolled in the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps.

Herbert Herff Registration Loan Program was established to provide short-term loan assistance to students who have no means of paying their registration fees. The loan is a 15% interest-bearing loan and the maximum loan amount is the in-state cost of registration fees assessed for the number of credit hours for which the student is enrolling.

NOTE: this loan will not cover out-of-state tuition. To qualify for the loan, students must meet the following conditions: (1) be classified as a degree-seeking student (Regular Undergraduate, Regular Graduate, or Regular Law Student); (2) maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.0 for undergraduate students, 3.0 for graduate students, and 2.0 for law students; (3) be enrolled in not less than six credit hours for the semester; (4) have no debts to the university.

The University Book Loan Program was established to assist students who have been approved for Financial Aid payment but who are experiencing delays in receiving their awards. The loan is a 15% interest-bearing loan, with a minimum loan amount of $100 and a maximum loan amount of $250. Any amount approved will be credited to the student's Tiger Fund$ Account and must be used for textbooks and other educationally related materials. This loan (interest plus principal) must be repaid by November 1 of the Fall semester and by April 1 of the Spring semester.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The University of Memphis offers two types of on-campus student employment: Federal Work-Study (FWS) and Regular Student Employment (RSE). Students cannot be employed under both programs at the same time.

FEDERAL WORK-STUDY

Federal Work Study (FWS) is a need based financial aid program. It is federally funded, university administered, and designed to help students defray the cost of post-secondary education. The amount of the award is based on need and the availability of funds. The pay will be at least the current federal minimum wage, but it may also be related to the type of work to be performed and its difficulty. Students must be enrolled for and maintain at least six (6) semester hours (Fall/Spring) and six (6) semester hours (Summer) to qualify for Federal Work Study. To apply, students must file the FAFSA and other required documents each year.

REGULAR STUDENT EMPLOYMENT

The Regular Student Employment (RSE) program offers on-campus, part-time jobs to students who do not qualify for Federal Work-Study. This program is monitored by the university. Application for RSE may be filed at any time during the year; however, employment is contingent upon the availability of jobs. Regular Student Employees must be enrolled at The University of Memphis for at least six semester hours. Students seeking on-campus employment should contact the University Student Employment Office.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International Students on permanent visas are eligible to apply for Federal Work Study. Pursuant to regulations of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, there is a restriction on the number of hours students on certain visas may work. Those students who have questions regarding employment should contact the International Student Advisor.

Student Aid Refund Repayment Policy

REFUND:

1. When a student receiving Title IV funds withdraws from the university, an appropriate refund amount is calculated based on the U.S. Department of Education guidelines. In determining this refund amount, the university may retain an administrative fee if applicable under the guidelines. Once the total refund amount has been calculated the Student Aid Office will determine, according to federal formula, the portion of the refund to be returned to the federal aid account(s).
2. Effective with the passage of the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (the 1992-93 Academic Year), federal regulations specify the order in which Title IV programs will receive any refund amount. The order is: Federal Family Loan Programs (Unsubsidized Stafford, Subsidized Stafford, PLUS), William Ford Federal Direct Loan Programs, (Unsubsidized, Subsidized, PLUS), Federal Perkins Loan Program, Federal Pell Grant Program, Federal SEOG Program, any other Federal Title IV Program, institutional aid programs, and the student.
3. Refunds applicable to non-Title IV funds will be distributed to the respective aid accounts in the same proportion as the aid awarded.
4. A 100% refund will be given in the event of death.

REPAYMENT:

1. When a student receives financial aid and one of the following situations occur: (a) the student is issued a contingency fee card that is not honored by the fund agency involved; (b) the student receives an overpayment due to non-eligibility or administrative error; (c) the student withdraws before the start of classes or fails to pay tuition/maintenance fees, the student must repay the total amount of aid received or overpaid.

2. If a student receives funds in excess of university charges for cost-of-living expenses from Pell Grant, Perkins Loan, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and/or State Student Incentive Grant programs (Federal Title IV programs), and subsequently withdraws or drops out of school:

(a) the student's cost-of-living expense, as determined by the Student Aid Office, incurred up to the date of withdrawal will be compared to the amount the student received for that term for such expenses; (b) if the amount received exceeds the expense incurred, the excess amount will be considered an overpayment and must be repaid by the student.

3. The repayment amount will be placed in the respective aid account(s) in the order mandated by federal regulations.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY FOR FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS UNDER FEDERAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PROGRAMS

All students who receive financial aid must be in a degree seeking program and comply with all institutional, state, regulatory and federal policies and standards applying to financial aid programs. Students receiving athletic or other university administered awards must also meet the satisfactory academic progress standards established by the respective agency or awarding entity. In order to assure that student aid recipients make progress toward a degree, both in terms of number of hours attempted and/or completed and the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). The University of Memphis will utilize the following satisfactory academic progress policy.

NOTE: This policy applies only to students financial aid eligibility, not their university academic standing.

I. Maximum Time Frame for Completion of Degree
(Quantitative Measure)

1. Undergraduate students' maximum time frame for completion of their first degree is limited to 150 percent of the published length of their educational program. For most students, the maximum limit would be 198 attempted hours, which includes all hours, withdrawals, dropped or failed classes.

   Undergraduate students who change degree programs will be measured against this same maximum time frame.

   NOTE: The maximum time frame may vary for particular degree programs. Progress will therefore be measured against the specific degree program.

2. Transfer students will be bound by the same maximum time frame for completion of a first degree. Total attempted hours will be considered toward the maximum time limit.

3. Undergraduate students' maximum time frame for a second Bachelor's Degree will coincide with the completion requirements of the second degree program, not to exceed their maximum loan indebtedness.

4. Graduate students' maximum time frame will vary depending on the particular degree program as specified in the Graduate Bulletin and/or their maximum loan indebtedness.

5. Law students' maximum time frame will coincide with the degree completion requirements and outline or required classes as listed in the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law Bulletin and/or their maximum loan indebtedness.

6. Definition of Enrollment The credit hours specified below are listed for each degree level. The minimum credit hours attempted and/or earned must coincide with the particular degree level.

   		Full-Time	Three-Quarter Time	Half-Time
   Undergraduate	12+ sem. hrs.	9-11 sem. hrs.		6-8 sem. hrs.
   Graduate	9+ sem. hrs.		___		5 sem. hrs.
   Law		12+ sem. hrs.		___		6 sem. hrs.
   

   NOTE: In the Summer, law students are considered half-time with only 3 semester hours and full-time with 6 semester hours.

7. Undergraduate students who are required to take remedial/development classes are limited to 30 semester hours in this area, which will not be included in the Maximum Time Frame (see I.1.)

   The determination of each student's quantitative progress under the maximum time for degree completion will be made after each semester.

In addition to the above, students must meet academic retention standards of The University of Memphis and must meet the following cumulative GPA requirements.

1. FEDERAL GRANT AND WORK STUDY PROGRAMS
   1. Undergraduate students must have a minimum 1.65 cumulative GPA at the end of their freshman year based on their enrollment status and total hours completed.

   3. Undergraduate students who transfer credit hours and grades from another institution will be evaluated on the number of hours transferred in addition to their grade point average (GPA) according to the guidelines specified in a. and b. above.
   NOTE: Hours transferred will be considered as total hours earned or completed. The transfer GPA will also be considered in evaluating a student's current academic status.

2. LOAN PROGRAMS (FREEMAN/FEDERAL PERKINS/SUBSIDIZED AND UNSUBSIDIZED STAFFORD/PLUS)
   1. Undergraduate and law students must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA to receive student loans.

   5. Students who fail all of their classes for the semester will not receive their second loan disbursement, if any, for the following semester.

   The determination of each student's qualitative progress in terms of the 2.0 GPA requirement by the end of the sophomore year (i.e. 55 earned hours) will be made at the end of each semester.

   Qualitative progress in other areas will be evaluated at the end of spring although all loans are subject for review at the end of each semester. Students who enroll in summer school in order to resolve the minimum GPA requirements must notify the Student Aid Office in writing of any changes for possible reinstatement of aid.

1. FINANCIAL AID PROBATION
   1. Undergraduate students with at least 24 completed hours will be placed on financial aid probation for the next semester of enrollment if they do not have a minimum 1.65 cumulative GPA at the end of the Spring semester for grant consideration only OR a 2.0 cumulative GPA for loan consideration.

REGISTRATION AND STUDENT RECORDS

REGISTRATION

All continuing students are expected to register during October and/or November for the following Spring semester and in April for the following Summer and Fall.

Mission: The Office of Veterans Services provides assistance for eligible National Guard/Reserves, veterans and/or dependents who enroll at The University of Memphis and who make application for: (1) Programs of Education or Training, (2) VA Tutorial Services, or (3) VA Educational Loans. Other assistance includes: liaison with Veterans Administration Regional Office, counseling, and counseling referral for personal, family, career, financial, and educational problems.

Applications for VA Benefits: Those who will be using VA educational assistance while enrolled at The University of Memphis should contact the Office of Veterans Services. They should also be prepared to furnish the following items as applicable:

1. The number 4 copy of the DD214 or other armed forces separation papers. NOTE: Original or certified copies only. Copies can be made and certified in Memphis at the Vet Center, 1835 Union, Suite 100.

3. Copies of marriage licenses and children's birth certificates.

4. Copy of final divorce decree if either veteran or spouse has been previously married.

Advance Pay: Advance payment is available for eligible veterans and dependents who plan to enroll on at least a halftime basis. Applications will be accepted in the Veterans Services Office as early as 90 days before the term begins but no later than 45 days before the beginning entry. Generally, the advance pay deadline for the fall semester is around July 15, while spring semester deadline is around November 15. Advance pay checks include an allowance for the month or fraction thereof in which the course begins and the allowance for the following month. Advance pay checks are mailed to the school for delivery to the student at registration. Initial applicants who do not apply for advance pay may expect their check to be mailed to their home within six to eight weeks after registration.

Enrollment Status: For VA benefits during the regular terms (Fall and Spring) 12 semester hours constitute a full-time load for undergraduate students; 9 hours is full-time for graduate students. However, training time for summer at the undergraduate and graduate rate is based on the number of semester hours attempted per term.

Some of these restrictions are: (1) regular class attendance, (2) satisfactory academic progress, and (3) adherence to a specific degree plan.

Degree Plan: Only courses that are required for the degree and major may be certified for VA pay. VA will not pay for repeat courses if the grade already earned is accepted by U of M and will fulfill graduation requirements toward the declared degree and major (even if the course was taken at another institution with or without use of the G.l. Bill). VA will not pay for elective courses in excess of those needed to meet graduation requirements.

Although advisors are provided for veterans, this assistance does not relieve students of the responsibility for fulfilling all VA and University requirements.

Certification: Enrollment certifications are mailed to the appropriate VA Regional Office upon receipt of the Veterans Data Sheet. Students are required to submit this form to the Veteran Services Office at U of M each semester. Students will be certified on a term--by--term basis. Pre-certification will be done only when a request for advance pay is made.
