After submitting your University of Memphis application, you must submit many of the documents listed below:
1. High School or Previous College Transcripts
- Purpose: The University of Memphis requires your transcripts to review your academic performance and make an admission decision. Your program needs to see your previous grades as part of their assessment.
- Submission Details: You should upload a copy of your unofficial transcript when submitting your application to avoid processing delays. However, if you are accepted, you must provide an official copy of your transcript directly from your previous institution by the end of the second week of your first semester at the University of Memphis. This official transcript must clearly indicate your degree conferral date.
- Important Notes: Failure to submit the official transcript by the deadline will result in a hold on your account, preventing you from registering for the next semester.
2. Proof of English Proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo) for International Students
- Purpose: International students must demonstrate their English language proficiency as part of the admissions process. This ensures that you can effectively engage in academic work conducted in English.
- Submission Details: When applying, upload a copy of your test scores (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo). However, these scores must also be sent directly from the testing agency to the University of Memphis for verification. Admission decisions will only be made once your scores are officially verified.
- How to Send Scores: Depending on the test you took, you will need to follow specific steps to have your scores sent to the University. For example, for TOEFL, you can visit the ETS website and request your scores be sent using the code #1459.
3. Financial Documents for Visa Purposes (International Students)
- Purpose: International students are required to provide financial documentation as part of the visa application process. This demonstrates that you have the necessary funds to support yourself while studying in the U.S.
- Submission Details: These documents are typically required after an admission offer is made, but they are crucial for securing your student visa. You will need to show proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and other costs associated with your studies.
4. Passport Copy (International Students)
- Purpose: A copy of your passport is needed to confirm your identity and nationality, which is essential for processing your student visa and other official documentation.
- Submission Details: Ensure that your passport copy is clear and that your personal details, including your name, date of birth, and nationality, are easily readable. This document will be part of your application package, particularly for international students applying for a visa.
These documents are crucial in ensuring your application is processed smoothly and on time. Be sure to follow the specific instructions provided by the University of Memphis to avoid delays or complications with your admission process.
