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, Suite 525, Memphis, Tennessee,
38163. 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. An applicant may not apply to
any additional college or program until a final administrative decision has been
made pertaining to the first application. An applicant may choose to
withdraw an active application in process by providing a written statement to
the Office of Enrollment Services, 910 Madison, Suite 525, Memphis, Tennessee,
38163 or by email (webmaster@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.
