1. Students should be familiar with all Academic Regulations as stated in the current Tennessee Tech Undergraduate Catalog ( Link to www.tntech.edu/ugcat/2004).
Students are responsible for the proper completion of their academic programs; for familiarity with requirements of the University Catalog under which they intend to graduate; for maintaining the grade average required; and for meeting all other degree requirements. A student may receive counsel from an academic advisor; however, the final responsibility remains that of the student.

The Tennessee Tech Undergraduate Catalog in effect at the time the student enters the institution states the required curriculum the student must follow to complete the Bachelor of Music degree. The Undergraduate Catalog lists the recommended sequence of courses and the same sequence of courses for each specific degree option appears below. Degree requirements for all students, regardless of date of enrollment in their curricula, may be subject to change before the publication of a new catalog when the implementation of curricular changes is necessary to maintain quality programs. It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the requirements of the curriculum and to enroll in the correct courses in the proper sequence. The student should discuss questions concerning registration with his/her advisor.

2. University policy requires that students enroll in English courses each semester until the 12-semester hour requirement is completed. The prerequisite for English 1020 is a grade of "C" in English 1010, and the prerequisite for a 2000-level English course is a grade of "C" in English 1020.

3. Students whose QPA in required Freshman and Sophomore English courses is below 2.0 must pass the English Qualifying Examination (EQE) in order to graduate. Students need to register for the EQE the first semester of their junior year. Students must take the exam, which consists of a 500-word essay, in the semester immediately following completion of the required English courses. Students who do not pass must satisfactorily complete work in the Writing Lab before repeating the exam.
