The University of Tennessee at Martin (UT–Martin, UT Martin, or UTM), located in Martin, Tennessee, in the United States, is one of the five campuses of the University of Tennessee system. Prior to the acquisition of Lambuth University in Jackson by University of Memphis in 2011, UTM was the only public four-year university in West Tennessee outside of Memphis. Although regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the university was placed on probation in December of 2015 for "falling short of standards related to evidence of institutional effectiveness and general education competencies."
