		Admissions and Registration General Requirements Applicants for admission to the colleges at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center should refer to the Admissions Requirement Booklet for detailed information on admissions procedures, class sizes, required admissions tests, specific college requirements, acceptable prerequisites, and college policies on admissions. Additional information may also be found in the college sections of this catalog, or by visiting the website; www.utmem.edu.catalog.php Applicants for admission should review closely the minimum admissions requirements for their college of choice and should understand that rarely are minimum qualifications adequate for admission to a particular program. Higher priority is given to those applicants who exceed the minimum requirements and who present above average academic records. General criteria used in the student selection process by college admissions committees may include overall academic performance, overall grade point average, grade point average in required courses, standardized test scores, consistency in achievements, course load and course content, motivation and goals, evaluations by pre-professional advisors in the undergraduate colleges, interview results, and personal character. Remedial and Developmental coursework and coursework credit earned in physical education, military science, and health professions programs will neither be applied to the overall hour requirement nor computed in the overall grade point average. Admissions committees may require certain applicants to complete additional coursework and may refuse admission for general cause in the competitive process. Applying for Admission At the time of filing an application, please have the Registrar of each college attended forward an official transcript of your work directly to The Office of Enrollment Services, 910 Madison Ave., Suite 525, Memphis, Tennessee, 38163. International applicants must have his/her transcripts evaluated by a professional credential evaluation service which inckudes the calculated grade point average (GPA). Failure to submit a professional evaluation may result in the delay of the application process. Failure to disclose previous college or university attendance may cause rejection or cancellation of admission.



		An applicant may only have ONE ACTIVE APPLICATION in process per admission cycle. Applicant may not apply to any additional college or program until a final administrative decision has been made pertaining to the first application. The applicant may choose to withdraw an active application in process by providing a written statement to the Office of Enrollment Services, 910 Madison Ave., Suite 525, Memphis, Tennessee, 38163 or via email (utmem.edu). Admission Guidelines All colleges at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center give admissions priority to applications from qualified Tennessee residents. A principal mission of The University of Tennessee Health Science Center is to educate health professionals for Tennessee. The health professions colleges may consider applications from residents of other states. In most professional programs, a maximum of 10 percent of enrollees may be out-of-state residents, with priority consideration given to the sons and daughters of University of Tennessee alumni. Through the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) contract, students may be accepted to the College of Dentistry from the state of Arkansas. The College of Graduate Health Sciences educates students for more global responsibilities. This college gives admission priority to applications from qualified Tennessee residents but may consider applications from residents of other states, as well as international students. The 10 percent enrollment limit does not apply to the graduate college. The Chancellor may grant exceptions to these guidelines. Admission with Advanced Standing Students seeking admission with advanced standing to The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, from another accredited program, must submit the usual application form for the college of choice, the nonrefundable application fee, and all the supporting documents required of the beginning student in the program. Additionally, transfer students must present a statement of withdrawal in good standing and a recommendation from the dean or other responsible officer of the institution previously attended. Prospective transfer students must discuss their plans with the college admissions officer prior to submitting an application, because very few incoming transfers are possible. State of Residency As a state assisted institution, The University of Tennessee Health Science Center gives priority consideration to residents of the State of Tennessee. In many programs



		restrictions apply to applicants from out-of state. Prospective students who are not classified as residents of Tennessee should discuss their residency status with the Office of Enrollment Services prior to application. Regulations for residency classification are published in the Student Handbook and may be obtained from: Office of Enrollment Services Attn: Eunice Taylor The University of Tennessee Health Science Center 910 Madison Avenue, Suite 525 Memphis, TN 38163 901-448-5560 Records The Registrar's office in the Enrollment Services Department maintains the official permanent record on all students who attend The University of Tennessee Health Science Center. This record includes the student's name, social security number, address, birth date, sex, previous colleges attended, and credits transferred from other colleges. It includes all courses taken at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center with credit hours, grades, and cumulative grade point average. Academic suspension or dismissal is recorded as well as academic probation. For more information contact: Ida Mosby Director/Registrar Office of Enrollment Services 910 Madison Avenue, Suite 525 Memphis, TN 38163 901-448-5560 Registration All fees must be paid on the dates designated for this purpose. Registration and enrollment procedures are discussed in detail in the first orientation period. Questions concerning fees may be addressed to the Bursar Office, Room 103, Hyman Administration Building. A student may register late without college approval during a period of three (3) working days following the close of the Final Day of Registration. Beyond this time period, authorization to register must be given by the appropriate college Academic Affairs officer. A fifty ($50.00) dollar fee will be assessed to any student registering during the first three days after the Final Day of Registration. A seventy-five ($75.00) dollar fee will be assessed for registration that takes place more than three days after the Final Day.



		A student may appeal a Late Registration Fee to the Vice Chancellor of Business and Finance. There will be a fifty ($50.00) dollar late enrollment fee in addition to the University's standard charges relative to returned checks, should the student's bank return the registration payment check. Repayment of the fee and charges must be made by cashier's check, cash, or money order. Changes in Registration With permission of a student's advisor and approval of the course director, courses may be dropped, added, or changed from credit to audit (or vice versa) during the first two weeks of classes. Courses dropped during this period will not be shown on the student's permanent record. The student's advisor, the dean of the college, and the course director, must approve changes in registration after this period. Such approvals will be given only in unusual circumstances. The grade of WP (withdrew passing) or WF (withdrew failing) will be posted to the permanent record and will reflect the student's status at the time of withdrawal. Withdrawal and Readmission Students who wish to withdraw from the University must notify the dean of the college, in writing, and are required to process a change of status form permitting them to withdraw in good standing. This form is used to prorate permissible refunds in tuition and fees. It is the responsibility of the College to complete a change of status if a student withdraws from the institution without completing the above aforementioned process. Students seeking readmission to the college should submit a written request to the dean of the college. Fees and Expenses Guaranteed Enrollment Deposit Students who accept a place in one of the professional school classes are required to remit a nonrefundable enrollment deposit. Students accepting placement in the College of Graduate Health Sciences are not required to submit the deposit. The amount of this deposit is applied toward payment of the student's fees for the first enrollment period. In the event that the applicant fails to enroll, the deposit is nonrefundable, unless substantial extenuating circumstances can be shown.



		Fees Fees at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center are established by the Board of Trustees and vary according to college program and state residency status. Fees may be changed at any time without prior notification to the student and must be paid at the time of registration. Individuals registering for audit courses will be assessed fees at the same rate as for credit courses. If you are a student in good financial standing with a definite anticipated source of funds, you may be offered the opportunity to participate in the installment payment plan. An installment plan service fee of $20.00 is assessed to pay maintenance fees, out of state tuition and room charges over a specified time period. All prior charges must be paid before the student may enroll for the current term. Failure to receive a statement of the balance of their fees does not relieve students of their obligations to pay on or before the due date. Refunding of Fees Students who withdraw prior to the commencement of classes will receive a refund of all tuition and maintenance fees paid for the semester in which they were scheduled to enter. The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, in accordance with federal regulations, follows the policy and procedures below for calculating refunds. If a student withdraws or is dismissed on or before the 60% point of the term, a refund will be determined using a pro rata refund calculation. The 60% point of the term varies with each college program. After the 60% point in the payment period, no refund is due. After attending classes, the following fees are non-refundable: dental equipment rental, microscope rental, malpractice and disability insurance. Grade Marking System The marks used in all official reports of students' grades are: A, B, C, D, F, W, WP, WF, G, I, IP, and Au.* The performance level and quality value assigned to that performance are as follows: Grade Performance Level/Quality Points per Semester A Consistently Outstanding 4 B Exceeds Expectation for Satisfactory; Occasionally Outstanding 3 C Satisfactory 2 D Marginal 1 F Failure 0 P Pass/Progress 0 R Retake 0 Au Audit 0 IP In Progress 0



		The designations WP or WF will be recorded to indicate passing or failure in those instances in which a student withdraws from a course before completing the work. The designation G will be recorded in those instances in which a student completes all requirements in a course but his performance is at such a low level that further evaluation is necessary to determine if the student is performing at the minimum pass level (D). The letter G can only be replaced by a permanent grade of D or F. The designation I will be used in those instances in which a student is performing at a passing level but is unable to complete a course at the regular time because of an acceptable reason, necessitating arrangements by the instructor for the student to complete his work. The I is to be replaced by whatever grade the student earns. The G and I designations cannot be permanent on a student's record and must be removed by the end of the semester following that in which it was received, or in the case of the graduating senior, no later than the day before commencement. Failure on the part of a student to remove a G or I within the time allowed will result in the grade of F as a permanent grade. The designation of R will be recorded in those instances in which a student completes all requirements in a clerkship and passes the clinical portion but fails the written exam. The student will retake the written exam and the clerkship director will assign the appropriate grade no later than the end of that academic year. A second failing score on the exam, or failure to retake the exam on time, will result in the assignment of a failing grade for the clerkship. The designation of IP is used in the Colleges. This grade is entered for all courses for which a student is currently enrolled. The "IP" grade will be replaced upon completion of the course. Certain marginally failing students, upon recommendation by appropriate progress and promotion committees, may record a passing score (in the previously failed course) by a self-study review of the course and re-examination; re-examination in such instances requires payment of a $50.00 fee. Students are required to register for the examination at the registrar's office and pay the fee prior to taking the re-examination. When courses are repeated or credit is earned through re-examination, both the original and the repeat grade are computed in the GPA. * The College of Dentistry utilizes a grading scale designating pluses. The Colleges of Graduate Health Sciences and Pharmacy utilize a grading scale designating pluses and minuses. These scales are depicted in the respective college sections of this catalog.



		Reporting of Grades All grades must be received in the Registrar's Office within 72 hours (3 working days) after the course has ended. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, students' grades must be reported as follows: 1. By the professor on the official grade sheet issued by the Registrar's Office. 2. By the professor on official University of Tennessee stationary. Grade sheets are issued online to every Professor for any student who has registered for the course. Grade changes must be submitted by memorandum; or via email. In order to maintain the students' confidentiality, any memorandum sent to the Registrar`s office should only contain grading information pertaining to one student. Information regarding an additional student must be sent on a separate piece of stationery. Transcripts The permanent academic record of all students enrolled at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, is maintained in the Office of the Registrar, and transcripts of such records are released only upon written authorization of the student. The Registrar will provide copies of transcripts to students and alumni at no charge. However, no transcripts will be provided for any student who has outstanding obligations to the University. Veterans' Affairs Students entitled to Veterans Educational Assistance (G.I. Bill benefits) should contact the Registrar's Office for assistance. Students enrolled under VA programs are subject to all rules and regulations set forth by the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as university regulations. Promotions Promotion of students within each college results from positive action taken by the appropriate promotion committee. Grades are not necessarily the sole criterion used in determining whether or not the student is promoted. Other attributes of the student, primarily those concerned with the level of professionalism expected of a student in a particular discipline, are considered.



		Appeal of Adverse Promotion and Graduation Decisions In those instances in which a student is not recommended for promotion or graduation by the appropriate promotion committee, he or she has the right to request a hearing before that committee. Such a request must be filed in writing with the committee within five (5) calendar days after receiving notice of the recommendation. At this hearing, the student shall have an opportunity to present evidence in his/her behalf. Attorneys will not be permitted to participate in these hearings to represent either the student or the University. Should the student be dissatisfied with the recommendation of the promotions committee, he/she may appeal to the Dean by filing a written appeal with the Dean's office within five (5) calendar days of receipt of notice of the recommendation. Action of the Dean may be appealed by filing a written appeal with the Chancellor within five days of receipt of the Dean's action. Graduation Requirements for Graduation In order to be certified for graduation, each student must meet the degree requirements of the college in which they are enrolled and discharge all financial obligations to the university. Degree requirements will be found in the appropriate college section. Attendance at Commencement Attendance at commencement is mandatory.
