TU General Education Credit for Courses Transferred from the UT System (UT-Knoxville, UT-Chattanooga, and UT-Martin)

  1. Students who have completed all General Education requirements on a UT-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 ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ.
    • These students must take any ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ General Education courses that are required for progression in their major programs.
  2. Students who have not completed all General Education requirements on a UT-system campus, but who have taken one or more courses in the General Education program there, will be given ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ 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 ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ courses and categories, and given the appropriate credit.
    • Courses that are clearly equivalent* to ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ General Education courses, but whose General Education categories are not matched at ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ, will be assigned appropriate ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ categories by Records, after consultation with the ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ General Education Committee chairperson, and given the appropriate credit.
    • Courses that are not clearly equivalent* to ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ General Education courses, but which fulfill General Education requirements on the UT campus, will be assigned the appropriate ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ 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 UT-system campus can be given ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ General Education credit only through use of the established "Undergraduate Course Substitution Form."
