Will courses from other universities transfer?
If you are transferring to The University of Memphis from another college or university, be sure to have your transcript evaluated for transfer credit as soon as possible. The Admissions Office (Second floor, John S. Wilder Tower) performs the evaluation, but they often take a while to do this, especially during the summer when many students are transferring. Therefore, it is important that you begin the transfer evaluation process as early as you can.
Once you have received your official evaluation of your transfer credits, you may discover that some of your courses were transferred as "Unassigned LD" (unassigned lower-division courses) or "Unassigned UD" (unassigned upper-division courses). This occurs when the transcript analyst cannot identify a course at The U of M that is equivalent to the one you took elsewhere. If this happens, come by the Academic Advising & Resource Center in room 205 of the PSY building. They can be reached at 678-2543. One of the advising staff will work with you to determine if these unassigned transfer credits may be applied to fulfilling your degree requirements.
Once you have matriculated at The University of Memphis, you may decide to take a few courses at another institution and transfer them back to The U of M. Before doing that, make sure The U of M approves these courses for degree credit. Secure a Transfer Credit Request (TCR) form from the Admissions Office, second floor, John S. Wilder tower. The TCR must be approved by your Advisor as well as the College of Arts & Sciences.
