UT, KNOXVILLE  ARTICULATION  POLICIES

The program agreements outlined in this document will lead to the awarding of the associate degree by Pellissippi State and the baccalaureate degree by the University of Tennessee if the student successfully completes all the courses outlined in a particular program. All other academic regulations of the major, degree, college/school and university (such as grade point average and retention standards) must also be satisfied. There are specific policies and academic regulations that must be met before the bachelor's degree will be awarded. Students in articulated programs with UT will not be expected to satisfy any additional (or fewer) requirements than non-transfer UT students.

1. Program articulations are effective for four years from the date of original entry in collegiate level work at Pellissippi State. If more than four years elapse, the agreement in place at that time will determine the student's status. Students will have an additional four years at the University of Tennessee to complete the undergraduate curriculum. If more than four years lapse, the UT curriculum in place at that time will determine the students' status.
