Students enrolled in The University of Tennessee Knoxville, Chattanooga, or Martin campuses may take one-fourth of their total undergraduate credit work by correspondence. Credit for undergraduate courses by correspondence in the major subjects shall be limited to one-fourth of the total credit hours required. In an effort to meet degree requirements, a student will be allowed to utilize any UT university-level correspondence course, which has the same number as a course offered on the campus in which the student is enrolled. A comparable course, which is offered through the Department of Distance Education and Independent Study from another UT campus, may also apply.
Choices are to be in accordance with the limits stated in the previous paragraph.
Seniors at the Martin campus may take six of the last 30 credit hours by correspondence. In Chattanooga, correspondence courses may not be taken within the last 30 hours of degree credit unless advance approval has been granted by the Petitions Committee. Correspondence courses are accepted by The University of Tennessee, Memphis, only by prior permission. If you are graduating from UTK and have taken a correspondence course originating from the Chattanooga or Martin campus, you MUST request your grades be transferred to UTK in order to receive credit for graduation. It is the responsibility of the graduating senior to request the transfer after completing the course.
