ACADEMICALLY
TALENTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (Pre-Freshman)
Students who have
a planned Individual Education Program (IEP) and are enrolled in grades 9, 10,
or 11 in public or private high schools in Tennessee may apply for admission
under the Pre-Freshman program. The following criteria must be met by each applicant.
- Enrollment recommended
as a part of the student's planned Individual Education Program (IEP) as determined
by the multi-disciplinary team process.
- Certified to
be academically talented or gifted according to the criteria for certification
of intellectually gifted which are contained in the Tennessee State Department
of Education Student Evaluation Manual.
- Have a school
grade point average which is the equivalent of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale.
- Must have fully
utilized the school's or school system's courses in the desired area of study,
or must have satisfactorily completed tests for these courses with a score
of 75 or better.
Admission in the
Pre-Freshman program as an IEP student will allow enrollment in one course per
semester if seats are available. Exceptions to take more than one course may
be made. Please seek permission from the Admissions Office. College credit will
be given for courses that are satisfactorily completed. This admission is not
available for enrollment in activity or private instruction courses. A semester
grade of "B" or better is expected; however, a semester review of
the student's success will be performed by the University to determine whether
continued enrollment is allowed. It is expected that such students return to
their high school for completion of the senior year and graduation.
