Are you getting ready to graduate in the spring or summer with a degree from the College of Engineering? In order to complete your requirements for graduation you must take the Senior Exit Exam. It is required by the State of Tennessee that all students attending a state-supported college or university complete this assessment. Failure to do so will result in your diploma being on hold until the test is taken.
WHAT IS THE SENIOR EXIT EXAM?
The university uses the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST).
It is the premier critical thinking skills test in the world today. The CCTST has
been used in the USA and in authorized translations worldwide with graduate student
populations, executive level adult populations, and undergraduate students in all
fields. It is a discipline-neutral measure of reasoning skills. Registration is currently closed. Those graduating in the spring or summer of 2020
should already be registered. Students planning to graduate in the fall of 2020 will
have an opportunity to take the exam during the fall semester. Contact Donna Thorne
at dthorne@tntech.edu if you have questions.
