College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | The Academic Advisor and You 7
The Academic Advisor and You
he advisor — student relationship is very important. As an incoming student, you and your advisor
don’t know anything about each other — think of it as a blank page. By the time you are a senior,
the page should be full. In other words, you will both know each other very well.
Realize that a college academic advisor is very
different from a high school guidance counselor.
The advisor will learn about your interests and your
ideas for your future. It is important to openly and
willingly discuss your ideas with your advisor. “A
good advisor‐advisee relationship is collaborative
and is built on mutual trust and respect.”1 You are
an important partner in the academic advising
process.
During New Student Orientation, you will have your
first advising session. For first year students, it will occur on the afternoon of the second day of
orientation; for transfer students, it is the afternoon of the one‐day session. During this time, make sure
you bring to the advisor's attention
any Advanced Placement exams you may have taken (see information on below),
any dual‐enrollment credit you may have,
any transfer credits you may have, and/or
any signed and approved articulation agreement (this applies only to transfer students).
The Office of the Dean will run academic histories for the advisors; however, they will not include any
information about AP credit because scores are not reported to the University of Tennessee until the
middle of July. Dual‐enrollment and transfer credits, if already received by the University of Tennessee
by the time of your orientation session, will appear on your academic history.
AP, CLEP and IB Credits
If you are a transfer student who took Advanced Placement exams, you need to have ETS (Educational
Testing Services, http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html, or AP Services, P.O. Box
6671, Princeton, NJ 08541‐6671, Phone: (609) 771‐7300 or (888) 225‐5427 (toll‐free in the U.S. and
Canada), Email: [email protected]) send your scores to the Office of the Registrar for
evaluation. Each university evaluates the scores d

ifferently. Courses for which you earned advanced placement credit at other colleges or universities may
or may not transfer. UT must receive your scores directly from ETS.
Information relating to AP, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) and International Baccalaureate
(IB) scores and UT course equivalents are posted at the Office of the Registrar website associated with
the <Transfer & Articulation, AP, CLEP & more> link from the left‐hand navigation menu –
http://admissions.utk.edu/undergraduate/apply/apcredit.shtml . Please check the website frequently,
as changes to the credits are made frequently.
The advisor will review the requirements of the major and help you develop your schedule. It is
important that you discuss any special circumstances, such as you
plan on working during the academic year,
are a student athlete, or
registered with the Office of Disability Services due to a self‐reported, documented learning, physical or other disability
If you have a documented disability of any sort, it is important that you contact the Office of Disability
Services in order for them to assist in providing appropriate and reasonable accommodations, if needed.
Your advisor will become your best resource while studying in the College of Agricultural Sciences and
Natural Resources. The stronger the working relationship you have with your advisor, the better he or
she can help guide you studies. You will discover you have many options that include internships, coops,
international study abroad, national student exchange options, honors programs, independent study,
and competition team participation. All of these activities may influence when you take specific courses
and how you chart your studies.
Each semester you should discuss with your advisor how your previous semester went, what activities
you are involved in, what internships you completed, and what other experiences you plan on while in
college. The advisor can be your advocate and ally. However, for the advisor to help you, you need to
meet with the advisor and be open and honest about your goals. Remember, you are the one here to
learn. Let your advisor be your guide and mentor to the many choices you will have along the way
through your education, realizing that the final decision belongs to you. There are many opportunities
available to you at the University of Tennessee and you should partake in the experience.
You are encouraged to consult with your advisor at any point during a term or academic year. Prior to
pre‐registration, all students who have earned fewer than 30 hours at UT Knoxville or are on Academic
Probation are required to meet with an advisor during each main term of the academic year (i.e., during
fall and spring). Prior to the advising session for the next term, you should review carefully the
requirements of the curriculum and select appropriate courses to continue progress towards earning a
degree. Your advisor assists in selecting subjects to ensure a well‐balanced education and interprets
university and college policies and requirements. However, you, not the advisor, bear the ultimate
responsibility for selecting courses, meeting course prerequisites, and adhering to policies and
procedures.
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | The Academic Advisor and You 9
Building Blocks of the Curriculum
ach curriculum has the same building blocks – an orientation or introductory course, general
education basic skills courses (Communicating through Writing, Communicating Orally, and
Quantitative Reasoning), general education broadened perspectives (Natural Sciences, Arts and
Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultures and Civilizations), CASNR biological and physical sciences,
CASNR computer applications, supporting disciplines to the major, courses in the major, internships, and
international experience.
An orientation course such as ANR 100 or FYS 101 help introduce you to how to be a college student,
learn about the University’s policies and procedures, and become acquainted with resources available to
you at UT to help you succeed.
The basic skills courses focus on written and oral communication skills and developing reasoning skills
through the study of mathematics, statistics or computer science.
The social sciences, arts and humanities, and cultures and civilizations general education courses
introduce you to humankind – the diversity of expression through the arts, how the different social
systems work, and the richness of the different cultures of the world over the course of human history.
The University and the College both recognize the importance of studying the natural sciences. The
University general education program requires two courses, whereas CASNR requires four – two each in
the biological and the physical sciences. These help to lay a strong foundation for advanced study in the
various majors offered by CASNR.

10 Tips on Developing a Semester Schedule | College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
The CASNR faculty also recognizes the role of technology in modern agriculture and natural resource
management. Each major has a course required which provides you with the opportunity to study the
application of computers or other technology, such as GPS/GIS within the context of the major.
Each major also has support courses from various other disciplines such as entomology and plant
pathology, biological sciences, physics and various other disciplines. Most majors now require
internships and many encourage the participation in international experiences.
All together, the specific requirements are designed to provide you with the knowledge, experiences,
and skills needed to succeed in life and in your chosen careers. Your academic advisor will mentor you as
you develop your plan for the next four years.
Tips on Developing a Semester Schedule
rior to your advising session, it will be worth the time to view the CPO Quick Tour before entering
the system. From the CPO home page – https://cpo.utk.edu/CPOWeb/, click on CPO Quick Tour in
the left‐hand navigation bar and scroll through the PowerPoint display to learn about CPO.
Check your major's showcase (see pages 42 to 77 for the various showcases) for courses that are
critical to your major and need to be taken during the first year (i.e., Engineering Fundamentals 105
Computer Methods in Engineering Problem Solving, Mathematics 141 Calculus I). Add these courses
first to your schedule. Your advisor will help you identify these during the advising session.
Review the timetable for required courses that offer only one section each semester (i.e. ANR 100
Orientation to Studies in Agriculture and Natural Resources). Add these types of courses next to
your schedule.
Check the timetable for other courses to be taken during
the first year that offer multiple sections (i.e., English
101 English Composition). Begin to fit these courses into
the schedule.
Make sure you include one orientation or introductory
course offered by CASNR. You are also encouraged to enroll in one of the many First Year Studies
129 sections. These are seminar‐style courses with small enrollments taught by senior faculty
members. You should be able to find one that fits your class schedule.
From recent review of student performance, we learned it is best not to take biology, math, and
chemistry all in the same semester. What appears to work for many students, that is to say,
students have greater success passing when they take
in the fall semester of the freshman year, the first semester of biology (Biology 101, Biology 111,
or Biology 130) and the first semester of math
P
It’s all about section selection!
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | Tips on Developing a Semester Schedule 11
in the spring semester of the freshman year, the first semester of chemistry (Chemistry 100 or
Chemistry 120) and the second semester of math
in the fall semester of the sophomore year, the second semester of biology (Biology 140; note
that Biology 102 and 112 are not offered for the fall semester) and the second semester of
chemistry (Chemistry 110 or Chemistry 130)
You are required to complete the UT General Education Program. Courses that meet the
requirements are noted by an asterisk in each of the showcases that appear in this workbook. For
full information and a complete list of courses that satisfy the requirements, see the online 2009‐
2010 Undergraduate Catalog posted at http://catalog.utk.edu. Depending upon the major, some of
the requirements need to be satisfied by taking specific courses (i.e., a major may require specific
math courses to satisfy Quantitative Reasoning) or may allow you to select courses of your choice
from the approved list (i.e., any of the approved Arts and Humanities courses may be selected).
The advisor will review your ACT scores to help select the appropriate math course. Your math skills
will affect your success in chemistry as well. More detailed information about math placement
scores and selecting math courses is on page 15.
With some courses, you may have a lecture, lab and discussion times in your schedule. With others,
there may only be a lecture time. Make sure all appear on your schedule.
When there are multiple sections for a single course, do not select the first section listed. These
tend to close before sections that appear lower in the list. Why? Human nature is to pick the first
section in the list. To ensure getting the course you need, start at the bottom of the list.
Check building locations for
the different courses. While the
University provides good bus
service, it is difficult to get from
"The Hill" to the Ag Campus in the
15 minutes scheduled between
courses. Sometimes it is
unavoidable; however, try to keep
distance in mind when selecting
course sections.
Check Tennessee 101 web site (http://tn101.utk.edu/) for student evaluations of various faculty.
You can see the results of student evaluations of teaching and can help guide your selection of
instructors.
Getting from Point A to Point B!
12 Tips on Developing a Semester Schedule | College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
Early morning sections will remain open longer through the registration period than mid‐morning or
early afternoon sections.
As sections fill, you may not be able to schedule your first or even second choice in course sections.
Be prepared with alternatives.
Whether or not you enroll in courses for which you sat for the Advanced Placement Exam is your
decision. Some of you may have a good "feel" for how well you did; some do not. If you do not feel
confident that you will earn credit, go ahead and schedule courses for which you have taken
Advanced Placement Exams. Scores are not received by UT until mid‐July. We do not know if you will
receive credit for courses at the time, you are being advised. We recommend that you schedule
these courses now; then check with your advisor again in early August to determine if you earned
any credit based on Advanced Placement Exams. You can adjust your schedule in August after
speaking with your advisor.
When adding a course, make sure you actually make the selection by clicking
on the button and then click submit.
When dropping a course, make sure you actually make the selection by clicking
on the button and then click submit.
Make sure you print out your schedule at the end of the day’s advising session.
If you drop or add a course after today, make sure you print the revised schedule.
Keep the printouts in case there is ever a question. It is your responsibility to know
your class schedule.
When done, click on "Exit System" in left‐hand navigation menu on the page.
Before logging off you will be directed to complete a New Student Orientation
Evaluation. Please complete this evaluation.
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | Special Information for Transfer Students 13
Special Information for Transfer Students
s a transfer student, you will have questions about how your courses transfer and how they apply
towards a UT degree. When UT receives your transcript from another college or university,
transcript evaluators in the Office of the Registrar review your record and convert courses to the UT
equivalent courses.
If there is no exact matching course offered by UT, which often happens, the courses will appear on the
transcript as either LD (lower division, which at UT is freshman and sophomore level courses at the 100‐
and 200‐levels) or UD (upper division, which at UT is junior and senior level courses at the 300‐and 400‐
levels). Once the courses are entered into the Student Information System, your advisor will run a DARS
(Degree Audit Report System) report to see how the courses actually meet the degree requirements.
Petitions
Courses taken at another university that are not transferred into UT as equivalent courses will be listed
at the end of the DARS print‐out and be labeled with the discipline name and either LD (lower division)
or UD (upper division), for example, PLSC LD01 Introduction to Horticulture. Your advisor will work with
you to determine which requirements may be satisfied by these courses not yet applied to
requirements.
A College Petition is used if the course(s) may satisfy a college or major requirement. If the course may
potentially satisfy a University General Education requirement, you need to provide the course syllabus
and work with your advisor in completing a University General Education Petition. Both of these
petitions are available on the College’s webpage – http://casnr.tennessee.edu/facultystaff/index.htm ‐
and scroll down to Advising Resources.
If you earned an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree from a Tennessee community
college, then your UT General Education will be considered complete. However, you may still be
required to take some specific courses in order to meet the degree requirements for the chosen major.
Your advisor will work with you to make this determination.
Always work with your advisor when considering petitions for transfer coursework. He or she has
experience and knows what courses are appropriate to meet different requirements. Understand that
petitions can be denied. The course transfers to UT and you still have the credit hours. The course just
does not satisfy any specific requirement and is treated as free or unrestricted elective credit.
Transfer Equivalency and Articulation

College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | Math Placement 15
Math Placement
ASNR academic majors vary as to which math series is required. All required
courses meet the UT General Education Requirement. Based on pass
performance of students in UT math courses and the ACT, your scores are
compared to past performance and are then placed in an appropriate course.
Placement is used to ensure that you get off to a good start and are capable of
succeeding and progressing through the math sequence. Some of you may be
placed directly into the course required by your major. If you are concerned about being placed in a
lower‐level course, you should discuss with your advisor.
Level Math ACT Math SAT (tent.) Course(s) 1 ‐ ‐ 113, 115 3 22 (recommended) 560 119 4 25 620 123, 125, 130 6 28 680 141, 151 8 32 740 147
The chart indicates that students can typically pass MATH 123‐125 if they have scored a 25 on the Math
ACT. If the score is less than that, it is recommended that the student complete MATH 119 College
Algebra or MATH 130 Pre‐Calculus at a community college during the summer before fall enrollment at
UT.
Additionally, at the Pre‐Orientation Website, you are required to take the online placement test through
the ALEKS system. There will be two tests, one for attaining Level 4 and one for attaining Level 6. The
tests can be repeated as often as wanted; they are ‘fill in the answer’ and adaptive. There is a cost
associated with taking this test; see the Pre‐Orientation Website.
If you do not achieve a Level 4 or higher, then you may select to use the online remediation system
(through ALEKS) to review, and then (re)take the placement test. The system is adaptive and should
direct you to work on the elements that you need. There is a cost associated with taking this test; see
the Pre‐Orientation Website.
You may also select to take the College Algebra or Pre‐Calculus CLEP test. Check the information on
testing sites, schedules and costs at the College Board website (the College Board administers CLEP, AP,
and SAT exams) – http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/reg.html . AP Calculus AB score
of 3, which currently gives credit for Math 125, would place you at Level 6.
You may take the equivalent of College Algebra (MATH 119) or Pre‐Calculus (MATH 130) at a community
college, in summer school locally or here at UTK or take an online version (119K or 130K). Note that
other schools may have their own placement and you may have to take other courses prior to the
required course. The cost is variable depending upon where (community college or 4‐year institution)
and mode of delivery (traditional in‐class or online course).

Advice for Chemistry 120
f your ACT math score is less than 25, you should not register for Chemistry 120.
You are advised to take the appropriate mathematics course (Mathematics 119
or 130). The Department of Chemistry has determined that successful completion
of Math 119 or Math 130 with a grade of C or better will improve your probability
of success in Chemistry 120. If your ACT math score is less than 25, but you scored
4 or better on the UT math placement test or if your ACT Natural Science score is
22 or higher, you may register for Chemistry 120.
In summary, you need to meet one of the following requirements before registering for Chemistry 120:
ACT math sub‐score of 25 or higher
SAT math score of 620 or higher
Successful completion of Mathematics 119 or 130 or a higher level math course
ACT natural science score of 22 or higher
UT math placement score of 4 or higher

College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | CASNR Honors Program 23
CASNR Honors Program
he CASNR Honors Program provides you the opportunity to challenge yourself in the classroom and
to work one‐on‐one with a faculty member on a thesis. You get to develop further your problem
solving and critical thinking skills by applying them to the thesis topic. Therefore, the overall purposes of
the CASNR Honors Program are:
for you to be challenged academically
to enrich your college experience
to stimulate your interest in advanced education, research and creative achievement
CASNR Honors is achieved by
Maintaining a minimum grade point average of 3.50 in the major and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.25 (with no grades of D+, D, D‐ or F in any course completed at UT2)
Completing 12 credit hours of
courses numbered 300 or higher in the major by enrolling in the honors section or via honors‐by‐contract and earning a minimum grade of a 3.00 in each course or
courses number at the 500‐level, taken for undergraduate credit, and earning a minimum grade of 3.00 in each course or
a combination of 300‐ or 400‐level honors courses, honors‐by‐contract courses or 500‐level courses taken for undergraduate credit and earning a minimum grade of 3.00 in each course
Internship and independent study courses are excluded from these 12 credit hours of coursework.
In addition to the above 12 credit hours, you are required to earn a minimum of 3 credit hours in
Agriculture and Natural Resources 497 Honors Research and one (1) credit hour of Agriculture and
Natural Resources 498 Honors Thesis.
To receive this distinction, you must complete the College Honors application before the end of your
fifth semester.
CASNR Honors Thesis is a substantial written report that represents some aspect of
research (i.e., laboratory or field experimentation, survey research or qualitative research),
scholarship (i.e., a comprehensive literature review of the original research reports related to a specific aspect of agriculture and natural resources that leads to educational materials for teaching or Extension programs) or
creative achievement (i.e., a comprehensive analysis of an ecosystem or landscape and plan for preservation, conservation, restoration, or utilization)
2 Academic Second Opportunity (ASO) students may be considered for College Honors once their ASO‐
application is approved by the ASO Committee.
T
24 Advice from Students on College Success: | College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
The thesis is completed under the supervision of a faculty mentor with an appointment in the University
of Tennessee, Institute of Agriculture. You are expected to enroll in Agriculture and Natural Resources
497 Honors Research when you are working on the project; enroll in Agriculture and Natural Resources
498 Honors Thesis the semester you are writing the thesis and make the thesis presentation; and enter
the thesis work in the Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement held during the
spring semester
Graduating seniors, who meet the College Honors requirements, will be recognized at the annual CASNR
Awards Reception held each April. Your participation will be noted on your University Transcript. The
theses will be bound and kept in the University Library and archived on the CASNR web site.
For more detailed information and forms associated with progressing through the program, go to the
CASNR homepage and select CASNR Honors Program in the left‐hand navigation menu
(http://casnr.tennessee.edu/HRCAP/index.htm).
Advice from Students on College Success:
hen students were asked, "What single piece of advice would you give an entering new student
at the University of Tennessee?" this is what they said –
Set priorities –
“It’s important to stay focused and remember what you’re at school for. It’s important to enjoy some
things, but academics are the most important.”
“Your freshman year can be your toughest year. A new environment can be good for some students; it
can also be bad for others who aren’t used to the ‘big city environment.’ You have to stay focused, and
remember you’re here to make something of yourself, so why not give it all you’ve got to reach your
goal. Hard work and preparation are the main ingredients in fulfilling your goals.”
Become part of something –
“Become a part of something, whether it is a club, group, or just involved
with their college. Don't fade away into the mass of students at UT. I believe
you will have a more successful and enjoyable college experience if you do.”
“Get involved! There are great benefits just from getting to know people,
making connections, and networking. It really makes you feel at home and
makes the transition from high school to college easier and it’s truly the
most important aspect of a college experience.”
“Get involved here by attending at least informational meetings for any and every club/organization you
might be interested in, pick a couple you think you will really enjoy, and focus their efforts on really
getting involved and becoming a big part of those which you choose.”
W
College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources | Advice from Students on College Success: 25
“I would tell students to become involved. Students that participate in clubs and groups find the
university to be much smaller. Clubs are a great way to meet people and have a good time. Clubs also
provide leadership and citizenship opportunities that help to make people well rounded.”
“Become involved around campus. This is your key to making the most of your college experience. No
matter what organization you choose to become affiliated with, you will gain friendships and valuable
leadership experiences that will last a lifetime. There are certain things that classroom learning simply
cannot provide, and student organizations are a great way to get the extra skills you need to make it in
the real world.”
Reach outside your comfort zone –
“All college students should try to reach outside their boundaries and comfort zones
by taking part of new opportunities. By doing this, not only will you become a well‐
rounded person, you will also have the opportunity to meet new friends who you
may have not encountered otherwise.”
“Try some new things that interest you, no matter how out of the box it might be.
There are no hard feelings if you decide that fencing or sororities aren’t your thing; this place is new and
you don’t have to stay the same person you were in high school. Trying new things is a part of growing
as a person, and an essential part of the college experience.”
Learn how to learn –
“College is only a place where you learn how to learn. You learn how to find information
on your own. You learn to juggle a job and schoolwork. You learn to be self‐sufficient, so
when you enter the "real world," you will be able to function on your own. Finally, you
learn that there is always going to be good days and bad days, but you learn to enjoy it,
because life is not fun if you do not enjoy it.”
“There are no stupid questions! The faculty will help you in any way possible, and it is good to get to
know as many faculty members as you can.”
“Go to and stay awake in class! Attending class is an easy way of studying. Often the professor will cover
what they consider to be the most important material, which interestingly enough is what usually shows
up on the tests!”
Take advantage of all the resources available to you –
“My advice to an entering new student would be to get familiar with the
campus and your professors. Arrive early to class and introduce yourself to
your professors on the first day; they are there to help you succeed.
Familiarize yourself with the different areas of the University and learn as
much as you can.”
26 Advice from Students on College Success: | College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
“Talk to people from various programs on campus. You may not know which program you want to get
into, but you can get a better idea by talking to people and finding out what majors are offered and how
those majors can shape your college career. Be sure to continue meeting people and learning about
their experience at UT.”
“The key to doing well in a hard class is going to it every day and take good notes. If you can listen to the
professor and write it down then you will have no problem. Every incoming freshman needs to realize,
yes, it is a lot different in college, but if you are lucky enough to be a CASNR major then your professors
do care about you and your grades.”
“Use your resources to the fullest. This includes advisors, upperclassmen, and professors. Also, be aware
of the major you are choosing and the path you have to take. Keep up with classes that have been taken
and those that have to be taken in the future. Map out a plan of action for your whole college career.
Keep up with academic history and transcripts as well as VolExpress statements. Also, be aware of
deadlines. I would advise you to think thoroughly about your interests before choosing a major and
make sure you are aware of the rewarding options that the College of Agricultural Science and Natural
Resources has to offer.”
Learn how to manage your time —
“The one piece of advice I have learned is to manage one's time. With proper
time management, you will be able to achieve great success in grades, yet still
have plenty of time for other activities. I have found that a semester calendar
is the best way to manage time because it allows you to look weeks ahead and
see what is coming up. This way, you will not be pressed for time due to
procrastination and will find your college experience to be much more relaxing
and successful.”
“It is important for you to use your time wisely and plan ahead. This is an important factor in being able
to graduate on time and completing assignments on time. Proper time management can provide a
better basis to achieve high grades and low stress.”
“Personally, I did not think it was possible to maintain good grades and be involved in clubs, but I found
that once I learned how to manage my time it was surprisingly easy.”

Special Information for Parents
FERPA
he University of Tennessee is committed to protecting your privacy. Along with university‐
established privacy guidelines, the university also follows guidelines set forth by the Family
Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of your
education records. You have specific, protected rights regarding the release of educational records, and
FERPA requires that institutions, especially institutions that receive federal funding, adhere strictly to
these guidelines.
Faculty and staff at the university, who have access to student information, are charged with the
responsibility of handling that information in a custodial
manner that coincides with FERPA regulations. Therefore,
faculty and staff abide by FERPA regulations to protect
any type of educational record such as grades, grade rolls,
class rolls, Degree Audit Reports (DARS), academic history
reports, or class schedules.
For example, a student's grade and UT‐generated student
ID may not be posted in a public area. Your written
consent is required before confidential information can be
released to anyone who does not have the right to access
that information, including spouses, parents, or friends.
Similarly, letters of recommendation may not contain
personally identifiable information obtained from your
record, such as grades or grade point average, without a
signed release from you.
There are six basic requirements for colleges and universities:
Students must be annually notified of their FERPA rights. At UT, FERPA information is included in
our student handbook, Hilltopics, in the undergraduate catalog, on the website of the Office of
the Registrar FERPA web page – http://ferpa.utk.edu/ – and during new student orientation. In
addition, students annually receive an email notice reminding them of rights extended under
FERPA.
Students must be allowed to review their education records.
Students must be allowed to request to amend their education records, with limited exceptions.
Students must be allowed to limit disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in
their education records.
The college or university must undertake reasonable effort to ensure that third parties do not
re‐disclose personally identifiable information and that the information is utilized by third
parties only for its intended purpose.
Records must be maintained of request for and disclosure of student education records.

A FERPA Student Release may
be obtained from the
Office of the Dean, 126 Morgan
Hall
or the Office of the Registrar,
209 Student Services Building
on Circle Park

average falls below the acceptable level of 2.00 for one semester, or the semester grade point average is
below the acceptable level of 2.00 for two consecutive semesters regardless of their cumulative grade
point average. This status was formally called “academic review.”
Academic dismissal: a student on academic probation will be dismissed if at the end of the semester the
cumulative grade point average is below a 2.00 and the semester grade point average is below a 2.00.
Refer to the full policy on page 44 of the 2008‐2009 Undergraduate Catalog.

Credit hours: each course carries credit hours which approximately represents the amount of time a
student spends in a course. Generally, a course is assigned one credit hour for each hour of lecture or
discussion, and one credit hour for every two hours of laboratory or studio. Therefore, a 3‐credit‐hour
English course will meet for three 50‐minute discussion sessions or two 75‐minute discussion sessions
each week; a 4‐credit‐hour laboratory course typically will have two 50‐minute of lecture, one 50‐

towards meeting degree requirements, http://registrar.utk.edu/dars/index.shtml . You will need your
UT student ID number and system password. Once logged in, you will select the academic major and
catalog year to run the report.
Degree requirements: Each Bachelor’s degree awarded by the University of Tennessee signifies that the
student completed coursework in different areas. Degree programs have coursework that fulfill various
requirements as set forth by the faculty in the department, the college and the University. The basic
components are:
UT General Education (see pages 17‐22 of the 2008‐2009 Undergraduate Catalog),
CASNR requirements (see page 47 of the 2008‐2009 Undergraduate Catalog),
major requirements (established by the faculty who teach in the major; see departmental
entries on pages 49‐68 of the 2008‐2009 Undergraduate Catalog), and
free electives (courses in areas of the student’s choice and interest; these are not prescribed by
the faculty).
In CASNR, students take coursework that is highly prescriptive or, in other words, most courses are
identified by the faculty as being degree requirements.
Department: A unit within a college. Faculty members are part of the department. Each department will
offer an academic major organized within a curriculum. In CASNR, there are seven departments and nine
academic majors.
Good Academic Standing: a status that indicates you have a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 and
a semester grade point average of 2.00. One requirement for graduation is a minimum 2.00 cumulative
grade point average.
Grades: UT utilizes the following grade notations that impact the grade point average: A, A‐, B+, B, B‐,
C+, C, C‐, D+, D, D‐, and F. The following grade notations do not impact the grade point average:
NC (no credit, awarded for certain courses that offer the grading option of A, B, C, or NC; the NC is awarded for work equivalent to that which would normally earn the grade of D or F),
S (satisfactory, awarded for certain courses that offer the S/NC grading option),
W or WP or WF (withdrawn, withdrawn passing, or withdrawn failing; W is awarded to courses dropped between the 11th and 63rd days of the semester; WP is awarded to courses dropped after the 63rd day of the semester while the student was passing; WF is awarded to courses dropped after the 63rd day of the semester while the student was failing).
Under extraordinary circumstances and at the discretion of the instructor, the grade of I (Incomplete)
may be awarded to students who have satisfactorily completed a substantial portion of the course but
88 Glossary | College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
cannot complete the course for reasons beyond their control. If the grade of Incomplete is not removed
within one calendar year or upon graduation, it shall be changed to an F and count as a failure in the
computation of the grade point average. More information regarding the awarding of an Incomplete is
included in the undergraduate catalog in the section Grades, Credit Hours and Grade Point Average.
GPA, grade point average: calculated by multiplying the credit hour value for each course by the quality
point value of the grade awarded for the course, then adding the quality points for all courses and
dividing this number by the total number of credit hours. Quality points are assigned to grades are A =
4.0, A‐ = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3, B‐ = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, C = 2; C‐ = 1.7, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D‐ = 0.7, and F = 0.
Sample grade point average calculation:
Course Credits Grade Credits X Grade Quality points
Math 141 4 B 4 X 3 = 12
Biology 101 4 B+ 4 X 3.3 = 13.2
English 101 3 A 3 X 4 = 12
Sociology 120 3 B 3 X 3 = 9
ANR 100 1 A 1 X 4 = 4
FYS 129 1 A 1 X 4 = 4
Total 16 54.2
Grade point average 3.39
