This guide answers common questions about what courses apply to certain degree requirements. Other handy tips have been included and important student information have been included!
If you need to find course alternatives to your original selections or just need ideas on some cool electives, see the guide below. There’s a little something for everyone.
This guide also has answers to common student questions about college life, supports, degree planning, and life in general!
Notes
The general/unrestricted/concentration electives listed should not have any prerequisites or restrictions with the exception of common intro courses.
Some of these courses will be writing intensive. Read the course descriptions in the timetable for more information.
300 - 400 level courses may be challenging for Freshman and Sophomores. Read the course descriptions! Difficulty varies by student.
Some of these courses may not be offered year-round. If it doesn’t not show up in the timetable it is not being offered that term.
This list is not exhaustive. Consult the timetable for additional options.
Students will register for future terms during certain times of the semester. Typically this is the middle of the semester. Dates will be communicated each semester. Registration does not close until the first week of classes for the following term.
Students register by classification in the following order:
● Students with priority registration* go first
● Seniors - 90 credit hours earned
● Juniors - 60 credit hours earned
● Sophomores - 30 credit hours earned
● Freshman - 0 to 29 credit hours earned
*earned does NOT mean courses currently in-progress.
The registration order is strict and enforced, so it is important you are earning at least 15
credits per semester to register with your classification.
Advisors cannot move your registration time up. This is determined by the Registrar.
*Priority Registration is given to students registered with Veterans Affairs, Disability Services
and other select groups.
You will be assigned a specific day and time to register. To view this time:
● MyUTK
● My Resources
● Add/Drop Classes
● Plan Ahead
● Select the semester you want to view
● Date and time is on the right side of the page
*this time is generally not loaded until closer to the middle of the semester
This is a really good way to save time and also have your advisor review and approve your plan prior to registration.

Prime Time
Prime Time is the time considered most popular for students to attend class and therefore times
that fill more quickly during registration. Use this knowledge to help guide your choices.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday – 9:10 am – 2:40 pm
Tuesday/Thursday – 9:45 am – 3:45 pm
● The later you wait to register after your allotted time the more limited your options will be
in course selection. It is important you are registering on time to secure needed courses
● If you have required advising, you cannot be cleared to register. It is very important you
schedule and attend your advising appointment at the first opportunity to ensure you will
have the best chance of getting the schedule you want/need
● Advisors cannot add you to closed sections of classes. Only the Professor or
Department that governs the subject can do this and it is not guaranteed.
● The timetable can and does change over the weeks leading up to the next semester. If a
section is closed and you really want/need it, you are encouraged to check back to see if
seats/sections have become available. Sometimes new courses are also added that you
may discover.
● Waitlisting a course is “getting in line” to claim an open seat should someone drop from
the class. Detailed information about the waitlist can be found here. It is highly
encouraged that you become familiar with this option.
Electives are classes that you choose to take. Typically these are from a pre-approved list or open to anyone to try. Here are the electives for CCI majors that are important to distinguish.
College Elective: Any class in CCI that sounds cool to you! Some classes will be
restricted to majors only and others will have pre-reqs. Consult the College Electives section of this guide for options.
Arts & Sciences Elective: Any class in the College of Arts & Sciences that sounds cool
to you. As with the College Electives, please consult the Electives Guide for
options/ideas.
Concentration Elective: These are for CMST students to use to take courses in a
subject outside of CCI to strengthen their communication knowledge or specialize their
skill set.
Many students use these electives for a minor but this is not required. Other
students will take classes of interest to them in a variety of subjects outside CCI.
There are 12 total concentration elective hours (or four classes).
6 hours can be taken at the 100-200 level.
6 hours must be taken at the 300-400 level.
Unrestricted Elective: Any course in any subject at any level that you find interesting.
General Elective: any course in most subjects you think is cool. Some majors in CCI
require these hours be taken outside of CCI. Consult your DARs report or advisor for
specifics.
How To Run Your DARs Report
Your DARS report is the check-list for degree completion. It will show you all the courses required for your major and electives required for general education and other necessary steps. There is a lot of policy at the top of the report so skip down to Total Hour/GPA requirement to get
into specifics.
Read the sections carefully.
How to Run Your DARS Report
● Log into myUTK
● Under the My Resources tab, select DARS and UTrack
● You will see your program listed under the ‘Degree Program’ column
● Click the orange ‘Run Declared Programs’ button
● The program will now run
● When complete, click the blue link with your program name (ex, BA-PSYC)
● When the audit is open, select ‘Open All Sections’ and review the audit
How to Run a Report for a Different Major
● Log into myUTK
● Under the My Resources tab, select DARS and UTrack
● You will see your program listed under the ‘Degree Program’ column
● Click ‘Select a Different Program’ on the blue link
● Select the appropriate responses from the drop down menus (note: in the catalog field,
choose the catalog year you entered UTK, ex: Fall 2022)
● Select ‘Run Different Program’ and repeat the final steps under ‘How to Run your DARS
Report’
Guide
● Requirements with a green check mean they are completed
● Requirements with a blue box mean they are in progress
● Requirements with a red x mean they still need to be completed
● For incomplete requirements a list of courses should be available that will demonstrate
what classes fill the requirement, click on each course to read more.
Many of you will often ask me to help you find open classes or classes that meet at certain times and other specific criteria. These are the same tricks I use that you can try!
Adding Classes, Dropping Classes & Filtering The Timetable
The timetable is the schedule for meeting times for classes. Use the tricks below to maximize your options and quickly filter out classes not relevant to your search.
How To Add Classes
1. Go to myUTK
2. Select myResources in the upper left
3. Select Add/Drop classes
4. Select Register for Classes
5. Select the semester you want
6. In the subject field type the subject/course code (ex. JREM or Journalism)
7. Select the subject
8. In the course number field enter the course number (ex. 110)
9. Select search
10. To see more results on one page, select 50 in the small drop down menu on the
bottom left of the screen. There may be multiple pages of options
11. Review available times and sections then click the add button to the right of the
class
12.The class will populate in your summary sheet (like a shopping cart for the
course)
13.Select search again to add more classes and repeat
14.You can see how the classes visually fit into your week in the bottom left calendar
15.When finished, select submit in the bottom right
16.You are now registered!
Tips
1. To view your schedule, return to myUTK and scroll to My Schedule
2. Hit next term if you cannot immediately see your schedule
3. Select PDF schedule to save a PDF copy
4. Select the course name (highlighted orange) to view the meeting place in more
detail
5. If you have registration errors, please note the red notification in the upper right
and select a new section or email your advisor for guidance with a screenshot of
the error
Tricks For Adding Classes
1. To find only open sections of a particular course/subject, select ‘Advanced
Search’ on the search bar, scroll to the bottom and check the box that says
‘Open Sections Only’ and hit search
2. To find classes that meet certain requirements (ex. Social Sciences, Quantitative
Reasoning, Natural Science, etc), select ‘Advanced Search’ and in the ‘attributes’
field scroll through the options until you find the subject you need. Select it and
hit search to see what comes up. (Note: Students on Vol Core should select only
subjects that start with VC. Students who entered prior to Fall 2022 should select
options that begin with GE)
3. Do you need an Arts & Sciences Elective or College Elective in CCI? Go to
advanced search, and in the College field, select Arts & Sciences and hit search
or select Communications and Information Sciences and hit search. Not all of the
populated courses will be open to you so check the course description for any
restrictions or prerequisites (or reference my guide). If a course has no pre-reqs
or restrictions and is a 100-400 lvl course, you may register for it in most cases.
4. To find classes at a certain grade level, you will select ‘advanced search’ and
near the bottom of the list you will see a field for ‘course number’. You can enter
a range here. (Ex. For Freshman and Sophomore level courses enter 100-200,
Junior and Seniors 300-400). This is useful if you need to find a 300-400 level
course to satisfy a concentration elective for CMST students.
5. To find classes that have a certain number of credit hours, follow the steps above
but use the ‘credit hour range field’ (ex 1 - 2 hours)
6. Ignore classes that have a campus of ‘distance education’; these are for students
completing their degree only online.
7. To find online only classes, follow the same steps to access the ‘advanced
search’ and then in the attributes field, select Fully Online. Click ‘open sections
only’ at the bottom and hit search. If you want to find online only courses in a
specific subject area, don’t forget to type the subject into the subject field before
you search.
How To Drop A Class
Always check with onestop@utk.edu prior to dropping a course to ensure there is no
impact to any financial aid you may be receiving.
Always alert your advisor if you plan to drop a course to ensure there is no impact to your degree plan.
1. Go to myUTK
2. Select myResources in the upper left
3. Select Add/Drop classes
4. Select Register for Classes
5. Select the semester you want
6. In the summary sheet in the bottom right, you will see the classes you are
registered for.
7. Find the class you want to drop, and in the drop-down menu beside the class,
select drop/no charge or remove.
8. Click submit and you’re done
(Note: If you plan to drop all of your classes and withdraw for the semester, you will
need to follow a separate process. Email onestop@utk.edu for guidance or your
academic advisor.)

What's a Concentration Elective?
These are intended to give you additional focus for your degree. Typically students will use these electives in a minor that interests them which I absolutely recommend to give you professional flexibility and to get more bang for your buck! These hours must be taken outside of subjects offered in the College of Communication and Information Sciences.
What are the rules?
● CMST majors must have 12 hours (4 classes) of concentration electives.
● 6 hours (two courses) can be at the 100 - 200 level.
● Remaining 6 hours must be at the 300 - 400 level.
● Can be in any subject except: ADVT, PBRL, CMST, JREM, INSC, COUN, FYS,
PYED.
So what classes would apply to this?
Any class you want that is NOT in Advertising, Public Relations, Communication Studies, Information Sciences, Counseling Education, First Year Studies or Physical Education)

Welcome to Ms. Bee’s Big Ol Student Guiden Section. This is a collection of common student questions/discussions. Email bcleveng@utk.edu for questions!
A College is a school of study within the University system that houses different majors and minors.
Your College governs the curriculum for your degree. Law and Veterinary Medicine have been excluded from this list because they are not undergraduate degrees.
● Herbert College of Agriculture
● Architecture and Design
● Arts and Sciences
● Haslam College of Business
● Communication and Information
● Education, Health, and Human Sciences

The catalog is a resource of all academic policies and procedures, college and degree requirements, faculty, and course descriptions. A new catalog is issued every academic year (Fall - Summer) which lists any changes to degrees, courses, policies etc.
It is important to know your catalog year which is generally the year and semester you started coursework at UTK (i.e. Fall 23). Changing catalogs can result in new or changed degree requirements.
Students change catalogs to access new majors, minors, or to update degree requirements based on unique circumstances. The catalog can be viewed here. You can navigate to different catalog years with the drop down menu in the upper right.
Advisors help each student tailor an academic program to fit the student’s interests, goals, and abilities within the criteria set by the faculty leading toward completion of a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication, depending on the student’s major. Advisors serve as sources of information about university and college policies, procedures and appropriate campus resources. They help each student explore career related goals and seek practical experiences.
You can make an appointment with your advisor, see advising notes and plans, and contact your advisor by logging in here.
Navigate or Vol Academic Connect is the appointment software used to house your notes and schedule meetings with student facing professionals. You can access Navigate by also following these steps:

Freshman will be advised three times in their first academic year:
Once at Orientation
Once in the Fall
Once in the Spring /Summer
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are only advised once per academic year as a requirement in either the Fall or Spring.
Students whose student id number ends in an even number and have earned at least 30 credit hours are advised in the Fall.
Students whose id number ends in an odd number and have earned at least 30 credit hours are advised in the Spring.
Transfer students must be advised each semester until they have earned at least 30 credit hours at UTK.
All students are welcome to come to advising year round or as needed!
Your advisor will send out emails to invite you to make an appointment around the beginning of each term.
It is important that you keep your appointment or communicate if you need to reschedule as spaces are limited and students with required advising may not register for classes until they have met with their advisor.
Late registration can result in very limited choices on classes moving forward. Patterns of no-shows will result in limited access to appointment slots. You should cancel any appointment you cannot attend asap.
To cancel an appointment, log in to Navigate,
Go to “Calendar” tab and locate the appointment you would like to cancel.
Click on the appointment. A new appointment window will appear.
This screen allows you to either send a message to your advisor or to cancel your appointment.
You can follow this same process to cancel any appointment with any unit in Navigate
Academic coaching is a personalized, one-on-one meeting with a trained academic coach who can help you improve your skills and performance. Working with an academic coach can help you study smarter by developing skills in time management, goal setting, and test preparation.
Remember, ASC coaches are not academic advisors. Conversations with your advisor will focus on planning curriculum and meeting requirements, whereas academic coaching allows space for everything in between, like learning strategies, life management skills, and earning strong grades.
A meeting with one of our academic coaches is one of the best ways to personalize your education and get on track academically. You can make an appointment with your coach, see coaching notes and plans, and contact your coach by logging into Navigate.
All appointments, notes and academic plans are managed through Navigate. You may view your

If you have an issue with your academic coach, please reach out to Mr. Doug Renalds
the Director of the Academic Success Center.
drenalds@utk.edu
You should reach out to the Program Director of the subject being taught (i.e; the Program Director for the English Department). A Google search will help you locate this individual.
If still unsure, reach out to your academic advisor for guidance on who to contact.
If your major is within your current college, contact your academic advisor.
If your major is in a different college, contact the advising office for that college. Note: Some majors are much more competitive than others and have limited seats.
Please consult with the advising office for your desired major on your suitability to the degree and expectations for admission.
Reach out to your advisor and request a petition to use the transfer course to satisfy UTK credit. A petition will be written requesting that the credit be used. You will need the original course syllabus.
Talk to your advisor for more details. Successful petitions are not guaranteed.
The Academic Success Center has free tutoring in a variety of subjects. Go here to get started.
Any student who makes below a 2.0 GPA for the semester will be placed on probation. This is a warning period to alert the student to get their GPA back into good standing for the next term. You have to complete certain requirements to be removed from probation.
A GPA below a 2.0 can affect your access to federal, state, and institutional aid. Email onestop@utk.edu for more details on how GPA impacts financial aid.
If your cumulative GPA (the GPA for all the classes you have taken at UTK) and your semester GPA both drop below a 2.0, you will be dismissed and have to sit out of UTK for one semester or multiple semesters depending on the number of times this has occured. You will be provided the opportunity to appeal the dismissal.
Patterns of dismissal will result in expulsion from the University. Consult your advisor for details on the terms of dismissal, appeals and expulsion.
SAP stands for satisfactory academic progress. Students receiving state or federal financial aid
must meet certain guidelines to remain aid eligible.
● Maintain a 2.0
● Pass/complete 67% of the courses you signed up for
○ Rule of thumb is to pass 3 out of 4 courses with a C or better to keep it safe
● Degree completion is not to exceed 180 credit hours
Students who have lost their aid due to unacceptable SAP can appeal and will be provided an academic plan from their advisor. Please email onestop@utk.edu for more detailed information about SAP and appeals.
Contact your advisor for instructions and onestop@utk.edu to understand how withdrawal impacts billing, housing, and financial aid.
Please do not just stop attending courses as this can have serious consequences for future admission and financial aid.
There are lots of support professionals on campus that help with a variety of students
having personal struggles. When you aren’t sure where to turn and are in distress, please complete this form and a Care Coordinator will reach out to help.
You may also call 865-974-HELP (4357). If you are experiencing a mental/physical emergency and are at risk of harm, please call 911 immediately.
UTK offers free psychotherapy services for students. Please go here to read more and book an appointment.
If you are unsafe or experiencing a medical emergency please call 911 immediately. To report prohibited conduct/relationship violence please call the Office of Title IX right away and a Coordinator will be there to support you: 865-974-9600.
If you are experiencing a mental/physical emergency and are at risk of harm, please call 911 immediately.
If you are experiencing distress due to the housing crisis or cannot find adequate housing for a future term, reach out to housing@utk.edu to see what options are available first.
If options on campus are limited or unavailable, a Care Coordinator with the Dean of Students may be able to
find community options to help you. Call 865-974-4357 to speak to a Care Coordinator.
If you are experiencing food insecurity and are not able to use/afford the campus dining halls
Smokey’s Pantry has lots of quality food solutions available.
Lots of students use this resource so please don’t be shy. The staff are very kind and supportive. https://smokeyspantry.wordpress.com/getfood/
There are several resources at UTK to get financial support for a variety of struggles.
Do you need assistance with daily living expenses (food, medication, gas, etc?)
The Dean of Students Emergency Fund is the best resource for this request. Please
note that this benefit is only accessible one time per academic year and can take 2-3
weeks to review and process if approved.
Do you need assistance paying tuition, housing, or meal plan costs?
You should reach out to One Stop to determine your Federal/State aid eligibility. These
funds are accessed by completing the FAFSA and connect students with grants and
loans based on income, household size, and overall financial need. All students,
irrespective of income, are eligible to receive Federal Student loans so long as they have
not met their lifetime borrowing limit and/or have not defaulted on these loans in the past
(these instances are rare for students under the age of 21). Students over the age of 24
are also considered financially independent of their parents/guardians and may have
access to more federal funding.
If you have completed this application and been awarded the maximum
federal/state aid you are eligible for but your family has had a catastrophic loss of
income, you can contact One Stop to report these changes and discuss the possibility of
an appeal.
If you are ineligible for additional federal/state aid, you should complete the
continuing student scholarship application. This application connects students with
general scholarships funds they may not otherwise be aware of, including awards within
our division. Please see link for relevant deadlines, though students may still complete it
after they have passed.
Students may also be eligible for one-time grants for tuition/housing/meal plan
costs through the Center for Financial Wellness. Students should make an
appointment with CFW to discuss this opportunity.

1. Find a program on the above links that interests you
2. Email or set up a meeting with your academic advisor to determine how the program can fit into your degree plan
3. Meet with a Programs Abroad Coordinator or the Faculty Contact to discuss flights, costs, meals, course registration, application completion, etc
4. Attend your trip and have a great time!
● Your academic advisor is not the best resource to assist you with flights, meals,
course registration, etc for study abroad. All program specifics are handled by a
Programs Abroad Coordinator or the Faculty/Program Contact for the trip
● Your academic advisor’s role in the study abroad process is to certify that the
courses you want to take will apply to your degree and determine how and if the
program will:
○ Fit into your degree plan
○ Delay or alter your graduation plans
○ Require pre-approval for courses to apply to certain degree requirements
● Studying abroad for an entire semester in your Junior & Senior year can seriously
alter your graduation timeline. It is important to consult with your advisor about any
impacts to your degree
● Studying abroad in your Senior term is not advisable as it can delay the receipt of
your degree or alter your graduation plans due to the length of time it takes for credits
earned abroad to be returned and evaluated
● Studying abroad in a Summer term for any student at any level, in any major is
generally a smoother experience in terms of little impact to your graduation timeline
and lower costs
● Best practice is to reserve as many General, Unrestricted, Arts & Sciences, or
Concentration electives as possible to use for Study Abroad. This is because not all
study abroad courses will apply to specific degree requirements without preapproval and
because your plans may change when you reach your host-school. You will want as
much flexibility as possible.
● It is important to plan your study abroad experience at least 1 semester in
advance to ensure you have a good experience and there is no impact to your degree
● The best time to study abroad is generally your Freshman/Sophomore year or

Is it required?
● Internships are optional but encouraged for the following majors:
○ PBRL
○ CMST
○ ADVT
○ INSC
● An internship is required for all JREM majors
Are internships paid?
Maybe. I encourage students to give preference to paid opportunities. Some are paid
and some are unpaid. It depends entirely on the organization. They will generally list
this in their posting.
Do I receive course credit?
You can! While JREM students will always receive course credit for their internships as
the experience is a part of their program requirements, other students may elect to
enroll in placeholder hours for their internship.
These placeholder hours will list on your transcripts that an internship was completed.
Whether or not this is beneficial to you is entirely dependent on your prospective
employer. Some employers review transcripts while others do not.
For most students, simply listing your internship experience on your resume is enough
and enrolling in placeholder hours is not necessary (except JREM).
When should I start looking?
The short answer is anytime! The more experience you have in your field, the more
attractive you are to future employers and the more competent you will feel.
For JREM students, you must be a junior before you can register for your required
internship placeholder hours which is JREM 492. You may begin an internship without
course credit at any time.
For ADVT students who want to receive course credit for their internship, you must
have first completed ADVT 340R with a grade of C or better.
For CMST students who want to receive course credit for their internship, must have
completed CMST 201, with a grade of C or better.
For INSC students who want to receive course credit for their internship, you must
complete INSC coursework relevant to your professional experience and have the
internship approved by the Program Coordinator Dr. Carolyn Hank. Restricted to juniors.
For PBRL students who want to receive course credit for their internship, you must
have first completed PBRL 340R with a grade of C or better.
Where can I find internship opportunities?
Handshake is the best resource for this function. Here you can complete your
interest/academic profile and find opportunities in the industries that interest you.
Handshake also has lots of part-time job opportunities for paid experiences.
Are there any campus internship opportunities?
