Applying to the Polytechnic BAS Programs: A Checklist for Graduates of Applied Technology Programsle

Step 1: Choose your program

Review the B.A.S. programs and fields of study at polytechnic.memphis.edu.

Confirm which B.A.S. program matches your applied technology program (for example, TCAT, Moore Tech, A.A.S., or A.A.T.).

Email askpolytech@memphis.edu if you are unsure which program fits your goals.

Step 2: Apply for admission

Apply online at apply.memphis.edu/apply as a first-time transfer student.

Pay the $25 non-refundable application fee.

Apply by the deadline: July 1 for fall, December 1 for spring, May 1 for summer. Confirm program-specific dates on the deadlines page.

Students transferring without college level English credits may be required to complete the Accuplacer Exam.

Step 3: Send your transcripts

Request official transcripts from every institution you attended after high school, including TCAT, Moore Tech, or the college that awarded your A.A.S. or A.A.T.

If you are still finishing your program, send your final transcript once your completion is posted.

Keep your cumulative GPA in mind: a 2.0 is typically expected, and your GPA for admission is recalculated using only courses that transfer.

Step 4: Review your transfer credit

Credit is awarded according to the transfer tables the Registrar uses. Your evaluation is prepared once you are admitted.

Look up your institution and program in the transfer tables for the BAS programs.

When your evaluation arrives, check that it matches the tables.

Email askpolytech@memphis.edu with questions about how your credit applies to your B.A.S. program.

Step 5: After you are admitted

Follow the admitted student steps in your acceptance letter.

Contact askpolytech@memphis.edu to plan your remaining courses.

List the University of Memphis on your FAFSA, then see paying for college.
