Institutional Review Panel

To participate in the Tennessee Educational Lottery Scholarship program the University must have a TELS Institutional Review Panel. The purpose of the panel is to hear appeals from students who for justifiable reasons did not comply with the continuous fulltime enrollment rule that is the TELS requirement. Possible appeals will result from medical and personal problems experienced by the student such as illness, death of a family member, religious requirements, employment requirements, etc. The IRP is composed of one member of the faculty, one member of the staff and one student. The IRP will consider appeals and student requests for leaves of absence.
