International Student FAQs

1. If I get denied by one program can my application be considered for another program? 
If you are denied by one program, you must apply to another program in order to be considered for admission. Apply Here: You will not be charged an additional application fee. Answer β€œyes” to the application question β€œHave you applied to the University of Memphis before” and we will verify and remove the application fee requirement.   
 
2. Do I need to have my official transcripts sent in order for a decision to be made on my application? 
Admission decisions are made on the basis of unofficial transcripts. If you have uploaded a copy of your transcript that show all of the relevant coursework and indicates a cumulative GPA, this is all that is required to review your application for admission. However, students are required to have an official, final transcript sent from their institution to the University of Memphis after enrollment.  A final transcript shows the dates on which your degree was conferred.  A transcript is official if it comes directly from your institution. If we do not have a final official transcript on file by the end of the 14th day of your first semester a hold will be placed on your account and you will not be able to register for future semesters.   

    Have your institution send a final, official transcript to:
