Academic Fresh Start Changes

Changes to the Academic Fresh start Form – Effective Nov 1, 2022, https://www.memphis.edu/registrar/students/records/academic-fresh-start.php

For Academic Fresh Start, there are two main changes.

  1. Previously, students were limited to apply for Academic Fresh Start one year of re-entry to the University of Memphis. That stipulation has been removed because students are not always informed during the first year of the program. Now students can apply for Academic Fresh Start once they learn about it, even after the first year.
  2. The process is initiated by the academic advisor who will submit an Academic Fresh Start Application, https://memphiscentral.etrieve.cloud/#/form/248. The submitter of the form does not have to check or confirm eligibility at the time of submission. The Registrar’s Office will review the student’s record to ensure all requirements are met.

When will the changes be effective?

  • If approved the changes will go into effect after the census enrollment date.

Transcript

  • The student’s University of Memphis transcript will note that an Academic Fresh Start was granted and the effective date.

 

Note: students who have earned an associate’s degree are still eligible.
