Students who wish to take courses at other institutions while attending Tennessee State University must complete a Permission To Enroll At Another Institution Form. The courses must be approved and the form signed, in advance, by the Chairperson of the department in which the student expects a degree. The form must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records and validated by the Registrar. This also applies to registration in the summer at another institution. Students are to adhere to the following instructions and regulations:
Instructions
- The student must submit the course description for which enrollment is desired.
- The student must receive the approval, on this form, of the appropriate Department Head.
- The student must sign the form.
- The student must return the form to Records for verification of eligibility and signature of the Registrar.
- Approval is only required when course equivalency information is not available on the web site.
Regulations
- The student cannot be on academic probation while attending another institution.
- The student must earn the last 30 hours needed for graduation at TSU. Six of these hours maybe taken at another institution if prior permission is provided.
- All courses/grades received will be posted on the student’s records at TSU.
The grade and quality points for those courses will be included in the calculation of the grade point average at Tennessee State. It is the student’s responsibility to request that a transcript be sent to the Office of Admissions and Records to the attention of the Registrar.
Course work in which a grade of “F” has been earned at Tennessee State University may not be repeated at non TBR institutions for the purpose of replacing the Tennessee State University grade. Approval will not be provided for repeating courses with grade of “C ” or better at another institution.
