Applications for admission to the Graduate School must be made to the Dean of Graduate Studies at least four weeks prior to the anticipated date of registration (see dates above). International students must submit applications at least six months in advance. Applications for readmission should be filed no later than two weeks before the first day of registration. Mail applications along with the $25.00 application fee to P. O. Box 5036, Cookeville, TN 38505 or bring to the Graduate School, Derryberry Hall, Room 306.

Graduate courses are numbered at the 5000, 6000 and 7000 levels. A graduate student may be permitted to register for any course which appears in the published Schedule of Classes; however, only those courses taken at the 5000, 6000 and 7000 levels may be counted for graduate credit. Graduate credit will not be given for a course numbered at the 4000 level or below. A course taken at the 4000 level may not be taken later at the 5000 level without special permission from the departmental chairperson, college dean, and the Dean of the Graduate School.

Graduate courses may be taken for undergraduate credit when prior approval is obtained. When undergraduate credit is received, it will not later be converted to graduate credit. Unclassified students will not receive graduate credit for graduate courses.

Seniors who wish to take graduate courses (course level number 5000 - 7000) either for undergraduate or graduate credit must obtain approval in the Graduate School Office prior to registration. Take written approval to the Registration Center for processing. Students below the senior level are not permitted to take graduate courses.
