You will receive course credit for all previous coursework that is eligible for transfer to the University of Memphis, and the UofM will recalculate your GPA for the purpose of admission based only on the classes eligible to transfer to the UofM. Therefore, our GPA calculation may be different than the calculation given at your most recent institution depending on the courses you have taken.
