In accordance with The
University's Mission Statement, the Office of Admissions strives to facilitate
all phases of the admissions process for students who are interested in
pursuing their education at the Baccalaureate level.
The office is committed to providing both effective
and efficient service to applicants and to ensuring that their admission
experience is a positive one.
This mission will be accomplished by using trained
personnel and the most advanced technology available.
The major goals within this mission are:
- To accurately receive, interpret and maintain documents
submitted in support of applications for admission;
- To determine as rapidly as possible eligibility for
admission to The University of Memphis at the undergraduate level;
- To maintain the integrity of the database through
both accurate input and a comprehensive editing system.
In an integrated environment, data integrity is a
vital component. The Office of Admissions protects the confidentiality
of applicant records, paper and electronic, while keeping them accessible,
as appropriate. It is the specific responsibility of the Office of Admissions
to ensure the accuracy of initial identifying information for applicants
within the University's electronic record keeping system. Accuracy of data
contributes to accurate reporting and ensures that the database is a reliable
indicator and predictor of admission trends
The Office of Admissions staff is committed to
providing a professional environment supporting "in-person" student contact
services and to treating all its constituents with courtesy, respect and
dignity. Admission decisions are made with diligence, with adherence to
The U of M admission criteria, within the diversity goals of a comprehensive
urban university and with particular regard for equal educational opportunity.
