Special for Credit students are limited to no more than 12 hours per semester with

REPEATED COURSES
A student may repeat a course with the intent of improving the grade previously
earned. In computing the quality point average of a student who has repeated one or
more courses, only the last grade received in the repeated course or courses will be
used. The hours attempted will be counted only once, provided that the number of repeats
in any single course does not exceed two (three attempts). In the event that a
student attempts a course more than three times, the third and subsequent grades
shall be used in determining quality point average.
In order that grade point averages may be adjusted appropriately, the student repeating
a course may file a course repeat form with the Records and Registration
Office.
Veterans or other eligible persons repeating courses for which they have a passing
grade (“D” or higher) and for which they have been paid are cautioned not to claim this
course for pay the second time.
Students may be permitted to repeat a course in which a grade of “B” or higher was
earned only with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Services.
COURSE ELECTIVES
The Tennessee Board of Regents System specifies which discipline specific courses
satisfy in the General Education Core (see p. 94). For elective courses taken beyond the
General Education Core contact your advisor and/or your senior institution for specific
course selection advisement.
General Electives
Electives which are not specified in the course of study may be selected from any
college level courses.
COURSE SUBSTITUTIONS
Course substitutions require the approval of the student’s faculty advisor and the appropriate
academic dean. A form for this approval is available from advisors and should
be processed prior to registering for the course in question.
Students in a transfer program should consult with their senior institution prior to
submitting a substitution. Senior institutions may or may not honor substitutions.
Substitutions are not approved for articulation agreements.
CANCELLATION OF SCHEDULED CLASSES
Any scheduled class may be discontinued by the college. The right is reserved to
cancel when the number enrolled is deemed insufficient. For further information, contact
the Records and Registration Office.
