The School Year
Tennessee Technological University is organized on the semester basis. When the term hour or credit is used, it refers to a semester-hour credit. A semester hour is one hour of class, recitation, or a two or more hours of laboratory work, per week through one semester of approximately fifteen weeks. Laboratory hours per credit are determined by department or college.
The school year consists of two semesters of approximately fifteen weeks each, and a summer term of ten weeks with some courses offered in two five-week sessions.
The summer term is considered equivalent to other semesters at Tennessee Technological University. The student on probation in summer is subject to the regular probation stipulations, including load and requirements for removing probation.
Inclement Weather Policy
GENERAL STATEMENT: Tennessee Technological University offices will remain open during periods of inclement weather, even though classes may be canceled.
In accordance with TBR policy, faculty, administrators, and staff of TTU are expected to make every reasonable effort to be at their work assignment on time, taking into consideration the personal risk involved. Administrators or staff employees who anticipate arriving late, or not arriving at work at all, should notify their immediate supervisor of this fact as soon as possible and request annual leave for the period of absence. If faculty members must be absent from assigned classes due to inclement weather, it is their responsibility to notify the appropriate chairperson and/or dean.
If classes are not canceled despite inclement weather, students are responsible for any academic work they miss as a result of inclement weather. It is the individual student’s responsibility to take the initiative in making up any missed work, and it is the faculty member’s responsibility to provide students a reasonable opportunity to make up missed work.
