I am a 2nd year Graduate student that probably doesn't have enough T-Credits to qualify for the Bama lottery on my own. Went to every meaningful basketball and baseball game last year and when the merger happened, my credits did not transfer properly. Support has been useless. Any groups out there willing to let me tag along? I will be at 3 or 4 points when the lottery opens. Trying to find a group or an individual that has a high enough point total where I won't be a factor.
i have literally never failed a test in my life and i feel so lost
i don't know what to do or how to recover. i love latin and i love learning it but failing this test just crushed my spirit and i dont know how to do better next time. i felt like i did okay and seeing that i failed makes me want to give up. it dropped my grade 10 points. im not failing or anything, but a C is unacceptable and i want to do better.
does anyone have any advice for how to recover and talk to my professor about how to fix my grade and improve the rest of my semester?? i go to his office hours often and participate in class and always put forth a lot of effort so he knows i care and it's not like this would be my first time going and asking for help.
thank you for anyone who can help :) i dont wanna give up but right now im just so discouraged
Are we allowed to park on campus during the weekends?
I’m looking to sublease a private room at quarry trails from January-July.
2 bedroom 2 bath apartment. Rent is $985+ utilities so it comes out to about $1,030 a month. Shuttle is provided so it’s a great option if you don’t have a pass or don’t want to deal with parking in campus.
Hey friends, on behalf of a UTK research lab, I wanted to share that there is an available hourly opportunity for undergraduate students with Unreal Engine 5 development experience. The lab is looking for help developing a Virtual Reality experience to conduct music therapy for elders. Comment or DM if interested!
Thanks!
So, if something was supposed to be delivered over fall break, will it be held until I can get to it? Or do the 72(?) hours still apply.
Hey everyone I was just accepted into the Systems engineering program online at UTK. Has anyone taken the degree or currently in it? Looking to see how difficult of a degree it is when weighing my grad school decisions. TIA!
I think that the smaller college atmosphere is more my style. When I went for a visit a couple of months ago, nothing stood out to me and I did not really care. It feels like my only option though because Everything else is too expensive. Did anyone feel the same as I did?
Is there any research opportunities for students in the political science department?
Howdy,
I’m a former volunteer that held a host stint for a quarter at KDVS (UC Davis) years ago.
Can any current radio folks comment on what it’s like to be apart of WUTK?
Does anyone know if UTK offers a single in-person class during the Winter Term?
I need to take some 400+ finance courses, but can anyone give some recommendations? Which ones are easier/harder? Did you like the professor or no?
I have a class in Strong Hall in a first-floor room (it's a relatively smaller room, it's not an auditorium-style lecture room if that makes sense). It's for a discussion-based class (of about 15 people total), so it's always quiet because we're always listening to someone else or the professor talk. But I am being so for real when I say there is literally only ONE person that will show up to class every MON, WED, and FRI to open up a bag of chips and CRUNCH on every single one. If my professor wasn't so strict on attendance I literally wouldn't be showing up to class--sitting on the other side of the room won't even work, that's how loud this is.
Would it be unreasonable to email my professor about this?
Hi all, my sister has cancer and this semester it has deeply affected my grades and ability to perform in class. I fear I’m going to have to either withdrawl from 3 classes or just take the fail try again. My tests and exams are bringing me down the most and I’m just not sure if I can recover properly. I’ve never had bad grades and don’t know what to do. Does anyone know of any resources to help me please I feel so lost
Hi! I’m a senior at another school currently getting my BFA. Im going to apply to a couple of grad schools and am interested in UTK. I was wondering what current or recent grad students had to say about the program and assistantships. Especially what’s happening with the painting program and its professors. Please DM me if we can chat about it! Thanks!
Title asks the question. I would love to put my computer setup beneath my bed so my anxiety won't freak out that there are people behind me, but we aren't allowed to raise our beds, at least not in Brown.
According to Parking and Transit, they are switching the T link reservations from Transloc to Passio Go app. This comes with many delays/cancellations of T link bookings because drivers apparently aren't able to see reservations, student names, pick-up, and drop-off on their screens.
Recently got an apartment in Knoxville and all 3/3 of my roommates told me at the bar this past weekend they "have no problem" driving seriously under the influence. I gave one of them the rest of my drink and decided to be DD even though it wasn't my car we took. We are all juniors at UTK, but only they are all in greek life. i didn't say anything about it then, but it has stuck with me. Maybe I just have not been in the party scene as much as them but I can't wrap my brain around the idea of being completely fine with the idea and thinking you can drive no matter how impaired you are. Not sure if I should even try to be friends with people like that, but now I'm worried i'm being to judgemental and drinking while driving is just in Knoxville's culture. I've been avoiding them a lot since Saturday, which sucks a bit because we usually talk a lot most evenings. I don't want to be an asshole but they really have me spiraling about this lol
What do I do if my utrack says, I need to change majors but the old advisor I had had told me not to worry. And created an academic plan for me to follow so it won't delay graduation, or having to change majors. But now I don't have that same advisor and utrack is saying I have to change majors. I don't know if I'm screwed real bad.
I am graduating with masters in engineering in December and am wondering if anyone would like to sell or rent to me their Masters Gown, cap, stole, tassel, and/or hood.
I need to go to the church for my car, but I’m unsure of how the buses work. Can anyone help me?
I am looking to see what opinions you guys have on the different public speaking classes. I would like to take the class online but I am unsure if I should take 210 or 240. Let me know any and all opinions you have of any of the professors/classes.

How do I get approval to take a 2nd winter mini term course ? I’m trying to take criminology and REST202 which is like the religion with movies class do you think they’ll approve for me to take both ?
How do clep credits show up on your transcript ? Do they show up as credits you earned at UTK or transfer credits ?
Looking for a Finc 425 group me for Yates.
I’m a freshmen this year and honestly i just want to have a gpa boost and even just extra credit hours in case i’ll need to drop a class because i have to keep a minimum 3.25 GPA. I didn’t start the first month off strong but I am trying to bounce back. I thought maybe taking an “easy” online course like nutr 100 (i’m taking right now) would help.
