Welcome to Our New Online Graduate Catalog!

For the transition from a print catalog to a completely online version, the University of Tennessee purchased acalog™, an effective, easy to use catalog management tool created by Digital Architecture. The new catalog format contains numerous time-saving and helpful features:

  •  The site’s design mirrors the UTK website for intuitive navigation and ease of use.

  • Advanced search features allow users to locate items by course prefix, course number, exact match, or descriptive information.

  • The My Portfolio option allows users to save favorite programs and courses in a personal space which can contain virtually all the requirements needed to plan an academic program.

  • Past catalogs are easily accessible through the Archived Catalogs link.

  • Every part of the catalog contains a “print-friendly page” link that makes printing selections easy and efficient.

    Should you have further questions, please contact the Graduate School at 865-974-1471 or cathcox@utk.edu.

THE GRADUATE CATALOG

The Graduate Catalog represents the offerings and requirements in effect at the time of publication, but there is no guarantee that they will not be changed or revoked. The course offerings and requirements of the institution are continually under examination and revision. However, adequate and reasonable notice will be given to students affected by any change. This catalog is not intended to state contractual terms and should not be regarded as a contract between the student and the institution. The institution reserves the right to change any provision, offering, or requirement to be effective when determined by the institution. These changes will govern current and readmitted students. Enrollment of all students is subject to these conditions. The current catalog should be referred to during each year of study. The university further reserves the right to dismiss a student from the university for cause at any time.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY

Graduate students must assume full responsibility for knowledge of rules and regulations of the Graduate Council and departmental requirements for the chosen degree program. Any exceptions to the policies stated in the Graduate Catalog must be approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. Individual colleges and departments may have requirements beyond the minimum established by the Graduate Council. A calendar of deadlines and policies and procedures for graduate programs are found on the Graduate School web page (http://gradschool.utk.edu). A statement of graduate students’ rights and responsibilities is included with the admission notification.
