I just transferred here this semester from a community college where the classes were definitely more lax so I’m trying to figure out if this is the usual or not. So my ACCT 200 class has 4 exams that total up to 85% of the grade meanwhile in all of my other classes the exams make up no more than 40% of the grade. Is it normal to see exams make up this much of a grade or is my professor crazy?
what are all the housing recommendations for after first year. i keep hearing a lot are sold out and all the ppl i know have already signed leases. i’ve barely met anyone yet so i don’t understand how everyone already has a roommate 🥲
Is there any hope for financial aid and/or scholarship money for somebody with a 3.20 GPA? I recently finished up my Associate degree at Pellissippi and am beginning to look into transferring to UTK in the spring, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's even worth it for me because of my current GPA. I didn't take some of my classes seriously enough because they served no value to any future career or myself but they were required by the school to earn the degree, and to no surprise it's come back to haunt. I don't want to go into $40,000+ in student loan debt but also know that my chances of a higher paying career increase with a Bachelor degree. Any thoughts and/or suggestions? Any and all responses will be appreciated.
Any Electrical Engineering students out there? If so how is the progression of difficulty from freshman to senior year? I'm a sophomore right now and just curious what I should expect.
Coming to Knoxville next weekend and wondering what campus is like during away games, do people mostly just go to bars?
I feel like i shouldn’t have to make this post bc it’s common sense. But people need to stop crossing the crosswalks when they don’t have the proper opportunity to. You are slowing down traffic and putting your life at risk. You are not the only person who has some place to be. Please be mindful of others

Has anyone taken this class w prof ben Horne ?
Maybe I’m just greedy but how come our fall break is just 2 days 😭 October 7-8?
If so, thoughts? I didn't agree with them at all, and I noticed the police showed up at one point. Not sure what all they told them or how that played out. Certainly a head-turner.
For those who didn't see it, it basically said sign a petition to enter a raffle for an AR-15 and the petition was for allowing open carry on campus.
I’ve always been pretty bad at math and my professor goes really fast through the material. I know a lot of people say it’s a pretty easy class, but to me it’s pretty difficult.
Do any of you have advice to succeed in this class?
I’m currently filling out the SRAR. Our school grades quarterly with numbers but my unofficial transcript is by semester and letter grades. What do I use on the SRAR. The letters on the transcript or number grades in report card?
I'm prior military and I went back to school. Considering transferring to UTK, I began and am still currently in a community college outside of TN. I am going to community college for absolutely free, so that and I wanted to make sure I was serious before I spent a bunch of money on school is why I went that route. Yes, parking is a really important part of college and I wanted to see how good it is at UTK. I would be an engineering student.
Thank you!

So the Haslam Career Fair is today and I am scared. It's required for my BUAD 200 class, so I do not want to do this. Just wondering if the recruiters are scary or are they usually nice and kind of know they are dealing with people that might not have the greatest resume? Just wanna know you guy's experiences.
Hey everyone! I'm a guitarist looking to join a band or play temporarily. I've played for about 10 years and play mostly rock. I can do any genre and play rhythm and lead. Please let me know if you are interested!
This isn't anything major, but I am trying to figure out my payment schedule for my remaining tuition payments and wanted to know usually how long it takes to get paid after turning in the FWS hours/timesheet? My job just turned in ours today.
I am a junior that is probably not renewing my off campus housing contract for next year. I was wondering if there was a good chance that I’d be able to get campus housing (vol hall, laurel, etc) for the 2025-26 school year? I’m not really sure how the application works, when it comes out, etc. thank you!
Hi Vols,
I need some help with my thesis in LaTeX. I have a landscape table, but nothing I do helps with the page numbering at the bottom of the page. Tried afterpage, using \thispagestyle{empty}, everything but yet no luck. Would anyone be able to drop their code snippet that worked? Very much appreciated
We have a downtown hotel reservation we can’t cancel but we can add someone’s name to the reservation to transfer. Does anyone’s parents need a last minute hotel room this weekend at a discounted price?
Any current students, alumni, or prospective applicants to UTK's online CS masters out there? Any info would be much appreciated. Just trying to get an idea of what the program might be like. I've been accepted for the Spring '24 semester, but am still waiting to hear back from a few other schools. Thanks so much!
I would like to schedule an appointment at the psychiatry clinic, but when I look at the website it says I would need to be seen by a primary care provider. I have gone to therapy with a psychologist before when I was at home, but it wasn’t consistent and I was never medicated. However, I think I would benefit most by seeing a psychiatrist and possibly being medicated. How should I go about scheduling an appointment? Should I just call the psychiatric clinic directly or just start off by calling the primary care provider?
90% of the time I wouldn't care, but when there's three seperate frats right next to each other on the ped yelling at you to pay $2 to throw some whipped cream at them, it gets kind of obnoxious.
