It is a Class A misdemeanor to misrepresent academic credentials. A person commits the offense of misrepresentation of academic credentials who, knowing that the statement is false and with the intent to secure employment at or admission to an institution of higher education in Tennessee, represents, orally or in writing, that such person: 1) Has successfully completed the required coursework for and has been awarded one or more degrees or diplomas from an accredited institution of higher education; 2) Has successfully completed the required coursework for and has been awarded one or more degrees or diplomas from a particular institution of higher education; or 3) Has successfully completed the required coursework for and has been awarded one or more degrees or diplomas in a particular field or specialty from an accredited institution of higher education.
Degree/Certificate Admission Requirements

Provide proof of eligibility for state benefits as applicable. Tennessee Public Chapter 1061, “Eligibility Verification for Entitlements Act”, effective October 1, 2012, provides that state governmental entities, including public higher education, must verify that applicants for “state public benefits” are either a United States citizen or are “lawfully present” in the United States. As such, applicants for admission who are applying for state benefits must provide proof of U.S. Citizenship or lawful presence. International students are not required to submit additional documentation since their lawful presence will be verified through SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System). Details on acceptable forms of identification which may be provided are available from the Enrollment Services Office.

Transcripts from states other than Tennessee will be evaluated on an individual basis.
b. High School Equivalency - Applicants may present passing HSE scores in lieu of a high school diploma. HSE graduates from states other than Tennessee may be required to provide further documentation, if graduation is not clearly indicated on the HSE score sheet.
Standardized Examination Scores are not required for admission purposes but may be used for advisement purposes as well as a component in the placement decision in accordance with TBR Learning Support Policy No. 2:03:00:02. Valid ACT/SAT scores are those earned within five years prior to the first day of the first term of enrollment.
Students may be subject to placement testing based on their desired coursework.
High School Course Requirements for University Parallel Programs
Applicants for admission who hold a recognized high school diploma that includes a distribution of college preparatory courses, such as those required in the core elements of the Tennessee High School Diploma. Applicants who graduated prior to the adoption of the Tennessee Diploma Project curriculum who hold a high school diploma are exempt from the diploma requirements with the exception of those in T.C.A. § 49-7-110 will be granted admission.
A student who has completed college coursework at another institution of higher learning will qualify for degree admission and must meet the following requirements:

2. Dual/Joint Enrollment
In cooperation with local boards of education throughout the college’s service area, dual/joint enrollment gives students an opportunity to earn college credit before graduating from high school. In dual enrollment the student will earn college and high school credit for a specified college course. In joint enrollment only college credit is earned for a specific college course. Students may enroll in the General Education and/or Business Technology programs. The General Education program allows you to take a variety of courses to meet your future college curriculum needs, such as Composition, Mathematics, History, Speech and Psychology. Students taking Business and Advanced Technology courses can begin earning credit toward a technical certificate.
To participate in the dual/joint enrollment programs, students must have a recommendation from a principal or counselor and the approval of a parent or guardian.

Degree-seeking students must also submit official transcripts from all institutions of higher learning since leaving Cleveland State Community College. If files from previous attendance are no longer retained by the college, transcripts and additional information may be requested.
Students who wish to enroll in credit courses are expected to complete registration during the announced registration period. Announcements are made through public media, published in the school catalog and are posted on the Cleveland State website along with instructions for online registration. Students must observe registration procedures and are not officially enrolled until all requirements for registration are completed, including full payment of fees. Students may register, pay fees and speak with personnel that can offer guidance and other services at designated off-campus centers, as well as the main campus.
The social security number of applicants will be secured when the application is processed. An alternative campus identification number is assigned through our records system. Students are advised to keep the campus ID number available and use it instead of their social security number. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, Cleveland State Community College students have the right to review, inspect and challenge the accuracy of information kept in a cumulative file by the institution unless the student waives the right. The law further ensures that records cannot be released except in emergency situations or in response to a subpoena without the written consent of the student, the following items do not require a release from the student:
In some cases, transfer of credit may require an extended departmental review, specifically if credit was earned at an institution for which CSCC does not have a recent transfer history. For such a review, documentation on a completed Petition for Credit form is mandatory. The review process will include, but is not limited to, a scrutiny of the content and depth of the course, the credentials of the issuing faculty and the appropriateness of the course to the degree sought by the student. The student is responsible for providing course descriptions and other documentation (such as a course syllabus, textbooks used, etc.) required for the departmental transfer review.
All transfer work is posted to the CSCC transcript, but may not necessarily be considered for graduation/completion purposes. It may be necessary to submit a Petition for Credit form to the appropriate academic division for upper division courses to be considered for graduation/completion purposes.

Tennessee Board of Regents colleges include:
Tennessee Transfer Paths (TTPs) transfer to all Tennessee public colleges and universities as well as many private institutions. Visit http://www.tntransferpathway.org/ for more information. For articulations unique to Cleveland State and other public and private institutions visit http://www.clevelandstatecc.edu/academics/transfer-and-articulation-agreements/index.html.
Each institution in the College System of Tennessee (the Tennessee Board of Regents) shares a common lower-division general education core curriculum of 41 semester hours for baccalaureate degrees and the associate of arts and the associate of science degrees. Lower-division means freshman and sophomore courses. The courses comprising the general education curriculum are contained within the following subject categories:
Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Degrees1
(At least one course must be in literature) 9 hours
1Foreign language courses are an additional requirement for the Associate of Arts (AA). Six hours of foreign language are required for the AA degree.
3Students who plan to transfer should check the requirements of their transfer institution and take the appropriate courses; there are significant differences between institutions.
Upon completion of an AA or AS degree, the requirements of the lower-division general education core will be complete and accepted by all public higher education institutions in the transfer process.
If an AA or AS is not obtained, transfer of general education courses will be based upon fulfillment of complete subject categories. (Example: If all eight hours in the category of natural sciences are complete, then this “block” of the general education core is complete.) When a subject category is incomplete, course-by-course evaluation will be conducted.
