I’m a freshman at an oos community college and planning to transfer to UT in the fall. I currently have a 4.0 gpa, will have 32 transferable credits by the end of this academic year, and I have been involved in clubs/organizations on campus. I was accepted as a first-year last year and currently freaking out at the possibility that I won’t get accepted again 🙃. Does anyone know how competitive it is to get in as a transfer student, especially being out of state? Is it different from first-year applicants?

I got in! Yay I’m a vol. But after seeing I only got awarded $1500, after Pell grant and Hope scholarship, AND the $1500 I’m still using UTpromise meaning I still have to come up with another $13k (probably more) or so to cover room and board. I don’t even know if UTpromise covers the book fees and stuff. I’m happy I got in but also idk if I can afford this school😭 it’s also crazy to me how people with ACT scores in the 30s got deferred?? Like what is the reason for that? But anyways I know they said it’s possible to be awarded scholarships later on but I didn’t realize how much it cost lmao

Anyone get into engineering honors? I got into chancellors honors but my letter did not say anything about engineering honors which I applied for as well. Did I just get rejected from that or will those decisions come out later?

i applied instate and my portal still says awaiting decision?? is this happening for anyone else??

Hi,

I got accepted into UTK this week but despite being a TN resident, they are saying that I am an international student. For context, I am an asylee/refugee from Venezuela who is not a citizen but my asylee designation is my legal status. I also went to a TN high school. I emailed the email for international affairs and I will also email admissions, I am just bummed out that despite having perfect stats (15 APs, 4.0UW, 36 ACT), I did not get into honors while my friends did (skill issue ig). It doesn't say whether i got in or not on my portal, but as they got something on their letter and I didn't, I assume I didn't get it.

All of my friends got their honors decisions on their normal admission letters, but I got nothing. Of course, maybe I just wasn't good enough to get accepted to honors, and that is fine, I just know UTK heavily prioritizes in-state students so it feels unfair to be treated with the same odds as an international when I am not one. What can I do? Does anyone know anything that could help? I am so lost. UTK is my #1 safety and I will not be able to attend if this is not fixed. I cannot pay the international tuition. As for honors, I assume it is a lost cause.

I got deferred with a 32 act. Sucks

What are easy unrestricted electives I can take for the spring I need 3 credit hours. Preferably online if not that’s fine. Also something where the professor isn’t strict with attendance

I'm a little worried about my chances of getting in UTK as an OOS student, as the acceptance rate for OOS is 23.7%...I am hoping my class rigor really makes my application good, as I took and am taking some challenging classes.

Hey guys, I'm graduating this month and was wondering if I'll still have access to my old canvas class pages from the past 4 years afterwards, since on some of them there are slides/resources/pdfs/etc that I'd still like to have on hand going forward. I just want to know if I need to download them all in the next week or two if I plan on keeping them. Thanks for the help!

For those who have taken math 125, what was the final like? I know it’s half multiple choice half work out problems. What were some major focus points on the final, and what did you study to prepare for it? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Looking to rehome two female cats, piper (~10) and pearl (4) either together or separately!

piper is a black and white tuxedo cat with a big personality, and pearl is a timid, but sweet calico cat! both love to cuddle, although pearl needs to warm up to her new owner first :>

owner is moving away and is not able to keep them, again asap!!

please pm for any questions or details as well as photos bc i’m only allowed to attach one!! :-)

I just logged into my application portal and noticed that I do not see anything besides my status bar. Just yesterday, it said "Awaiting Decision." Does this mean anything, or am I just worrying myself for no reason? Thank you, and good luck to everyone!!!

I’m studying for the math 119 final on Friday and was wondering if there’s any groups I can join

Thx in advance

Hello volunteers, I am a student at the University of Cincinnati but am doing a summer internship at a company close to Knoxville and wondering if anyone is subleasing their room out for the summer or knows where I can obtain said housing. Thanks in advance.

Hi! So, I applied for my master's program (Information Science) 2-3 months ago, and haven't heard anything on my application status. On the portal, it says "awaiting decision". I've contacted my admissions specialist who told me to contact the program director. Sent an email, said it was an invalid email, tried to send a message on the portal to the same email, and it said it sent. Never heard back, sent another email, it went through, and still haven't heard back. Is there anyone else I can contact??

I am trying to decide whether or not I want to do the power concentration for electrical engineering. I am mostly concerned about the economics/entrepreneurship/innovation elective requirement, as I have very little background in business or economics classes. They are offering IE405, IE457, ME457, IE518, IE557, and a few others. Currently leaning towards IE405. Would like to avoid presentations and looking for a lighter workload.

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!

what are the chances that i as a business major can do my whole senior year online?

Hi, I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some insight as to if you think I will get in or not.

I envision I will get deferred which I don't find that bad b/c my first semester grades are shaping up to be straight a's so that hopefully can help me. Please let me know. Thanks

I know this is a huge longshot but I’m completely out of other ideas here. About 2 weeks ago I lost a pair of headphones (sennheiser momentum 4), black in a gray case. I’m 99% certain they’re just gone for good but I figure I’ll post just in case anyone has seen them.

My daughter is a freshman and really NEEDS a parking pass. She survived this semester finding random street parking and only got towed once.

She really needs parking because she works in turkey creek. What are the chances she can actually get a parking pass for spring and are there any tips or tricks to get one?

He dad is verbally abusive and holds giving her money over her head. I’d prefer her not to have to rely on him for cash to make ends meet and be able to work a few more hours next semester. Please help. 🙏

Edit: She just messaged me they emailed her she can finally buy one!! 🙏

I have a non-computer parking pass I bought for $450 for the whole year. Turns out I cannot come for the spring semester. Does anyone know if I can sell it to someone for the spring semester? Or do I have to return it? (if i can sell & ur interested lmk, i’ll reduce more than half price)

I'm a senior and need a random class to add so I'm a full time student next semester. Any interesting courses? I know the normal answers (Chocolate class, rock history class) but those are always full. Any obscure ones you guys recommend?

I was just curious if anyone knew what letter grade is required to pass Biology 101, TIA

Ayres always chimes two minutes before the hour. It's not enough to mess a schedule up but it's a definite quirk. Does anyone know why?

I made the mistake of applying to the honors college here at UTK, not knowing what that entails, so I had to take the first year honors seminar, which I attended around half of the time. I did most of the assignments, but I have a final grade of 70.

It’s just silly, cause it’s more of a bullshit class, and it’s going to tank my GPA, which otherwise would have been close to 4.0.

Is there anything I could do? Is it stupid to think of dropping the class now, would it still affect my GPA?

Hi! I'm considering going to grad school after I get my BFA, but I'm a bit concerned that it'll be super expensive or the classes will be completely overwhelming. I'd love to hear from former or current students in the program!

Hello!

I lost my parking pass last week and went in to get it replaced today and Parking Services says they’ve recently changed their policy and now charge the full $300+ to get a replacement hangtag. Surely this has to be against the rules or something?

I can’t afford a surprise $300 charge for the pass, and I’ve searched and searched for it (pretty sure it fell out of my car downtown). Anyone know something that can be done?

It’s still listed online as being a $15 replacement fee - shouldn’t they have to post the actual fee online?

i am taking ASST 374 during the mini term for a random elective and i’m wondering if i need the book? wasn’t sure if anyone else has taken this class and could help! my professor is ronald kalafsky
