Course Validation
The University sets time limits on students to ensure that they have reasonably current knowledge in those courses that comprise the graduate program and for which a graduate degree is awarded. When coursework taken at Tennessee Technological University has expired according to the established time limits for completing a graduate program, the academic unit may allow the student to validate that coursework by examination, subject to the following regulations. The necessary form is available at www.tntech.edu/graduatestudies/pdf/coursevalidationform.pdf
- Only students fully admitted to and enrolled in graduate programs and who are in good standing are eligible.
- The grade on the original couse must be an "A" or "B."
- Not more than 12 hours of the total credits in a master's program may be validated. Not more than one-third of the total credits in a doctoral program may be validated.
- Only courses with fixed content are eligible for validation. (Independent study, research, and workshops are ineligible.)
- Only courses comparable to those still being taught are eligible for validation.
For additional information about course validation procedures, contact the Graduate School Office at 931-372-3233 or the Coordinator of Graduate Studies at skendrick@tntech.edu
