Official University Census Day (for Lottery Scholarships)

To administer the Tennessee Educational Lottery Scholarship (TELS) the University must declare an official census day. A census day is the date:
• before which classes dropped do not count toward the 24 hours attempted rule for calculating a continuing student’s eligibility for the lottery scholarship and
• after which any class dropped will be counted as hours attempted (and for which no quality points will be assigned thereby making it imperative that the student perform well on other classes in order to attain a grade point average that will enable them to continue to receive the TELS).
It has been determined that the 14th day of the term be the official census date.
