Credit / No Credit Information

HOW WILL THE CREDIT NO/CREDIT OPTION IMPACT REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR NEXT ENROLLMENT?

Once grades are visible and if you have questions about which grading method would be the better option for your academic standing please contact CARES at 9016782393.

The following information is to help you understand how the Credit/No Credit option may impact your Academic Standing.


Financial Aid Recipients: If you receive financial aid, we suggest you contact Financial Aid. Please note Financial Aid not accepting face-to-face meetings at this time but can be reached at financialaid@memphis.edu or 901-678-4825 if you have any questions. In order to assist you with that decision, the Office of Financial Aid will review your SAP once grades are visible and determine which grading method would be the better option for you based solely on financial aid eligibility.

We also encourage you to talk with your advisor about the implications for your graduation timeline.
