Tennessee Transfer Pathway Courses

1. Students who complete the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Science in Teaching within the Tennessee Board of Regents System and transfer to Tennessee Tech will have satisfied all general education requirements for a Tennessee Tech degree.

2. TBR community college students who do not complete the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Science in Teaching but who, in the discretion of Tennessee Tech, complete a subject category (as defined in section III.B of Tennessee Tech Policy 209) will have satisfied the Tennessee Tech general education requirement for that category.

   1. When a subject category is shown as incomplete, a course-by-course evaluation will be conducted, and the student will be subject to specific Tennessee Tech requirements.

   2. If a student is following a Tennessee Transfer Pathway, all courses contained within the curriculum of that pathway completed by the student prior to transfer shall be accepted by Tennessee Tech and be applied either to the general education requirement or area of emphasis requirement as listed in that Tennessee Transfer Pathway.

   3. The Tennessee Tech requirement of the minimum passing grade of “C” in specific courses (e.g., ENGL 1010) will be enforced.

3. In certain majors, specific general education courses are also required.

   1. Students and advisors should be aware of any major specific general education requirements that must be fulfilled.

   2. The student is responsible for enrolling in the correct courses and meeting all applicable general education requirements.

   3. Failure to fulfill specific major requirements in lower-division general education may result in the need to complete additional courses, which may also affect graduation date and cost of education.

University of Tennessee Transfer Credit

1. Students who have completed all General Education requirements on a University of Tennessee system campus will be considered to have completed all General Education Requirements at Tennessee Tech, with two exceptions:

   • Any of these students (except those majoring in Engineering) who have not completed either one year of high-school U.S. History or two semesters of college-level U.S. History will, by state law, be required to complete that requirement before graduation from Tennessee Tech.

   • These students must take any Tennessee Tech General Education courses that are required for progression in their major programs.

2. Students who have not completed all General Education requirements on a University of Tennessee system campus, but who have taken one or more courses in the General Education program there, will be given Tennessee Tech General Education credit as follows:

   • Courses and General Education categories that are clearly equivalent* to their Tennessee Tech counterparts will be treated by Records as Tennessee Tech courses and categories, and given the appropriate credit.

   • Courses that are clearly equivalent* to Tennessee Tech General Education courses, but whose General Education categories are not matched at Tennessee Tech, will be assigned appropriate Tennessee Tech categories by Records, after consultation with the Tennessee Tech General Education Committee chairperson, and given the appropriate credit.

   • Courses that are not clearly equivalent* to Tennessee Tech General Education courses, but which fulfill General Education requirements on the University of Tennessee campus, will be assigned the appropriate Tennessee Tech category by Records, after consultation with the Tennessee Tech General Education Committee chairperson, and given the appropriate credit.

3. Courses that are not taken for General Education credit on a University of Tennessee system campus can be given Tennessee Tech General Education credit only through use of the established "Undergraduate Course Substitution Form."
