  4. Provide a standardized exam result (ACT or SAT).
  5. Provide official transcript(s) for any post-secondary institution with a cumulative GPA for all academic work attempted.

Admission requirements differ from campus to campus across the country. A synopsis of the admission requirements at the University of Memphis is provided below, but you may find more information available in the Undergraduate Catalog.

An official copy of any/all post-secondary academic work must be provided for consideration. Typically, a cumulative 2.0 GPA (in college) is expected to be admitted as a transfer student. A Comprehensive Review used to determine admission will consider all documentation provided in support of your application to make the best decision possible. Transfer applicants will generally not be admitted if they are on academic suspension at the last school attended.
