Transfer Credits

The University of Tennessee Southern accepts transfer credits from other accredited institutions or those which otherwise meet the requirements for transfer credit as defined by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Credit will be given for those courses in which a grade of “C-” or better was earned. Courses that are clearly vocational or occupational in nature will not be accepted as credit towards the associate degree or baccalaureate degree. Students who complete all courses listed for a particular Tennessee Board of Regents Tennessee Transfer Pathway and who hold an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree from a Tennessee Community College or from a senior institution within the state that meets the Transfer Pathway will be admitted with junior standing and will have satisfied the General Education core requirements for the B.B.A., B.S., B.S.N., and B.A., except for courses required for their major. Students who have not followed an approved Transfer Pathway and who hold an A.A. or A.S. degree, or students holding an applied degree (e.g., A.A.S.) must have their transcripts evaluated on an individual basis, and recognized courses will be credited toward graduation. The final determination of acceptability of courses will be made by the Registrar and the Provost. Following enrollment at the University of Tennessee Southern, only grades earned in coursework at UT Southern will be used in determining satisfactory academic progress, graduation honors, and grade point average.
