In cooperation with East Tennessee's public television stations, WSJK/WKOP, Channels 2/15, the university offers undergraduate credit courses every semester. Telecourses are a complete, integrated instructional system that includes television programs, a textbook, study guide, and exams. They are intended for students who are mature, self-disciplined and self-motivated, and who have prior college experience and who can learn more independently than is typically required in regular classes. Students meet with the instructor at the beginning of the semester for orientation where they are provided a list of assignments, a schedule of times programs are broadcast, and a schedule of examinations and future meetings. The following items should be addressed to the department or course instructor prior to registration: (1) questions about specific course requirements, (2) exams, (3) meeting dates, etc. This is strongly recommended for students who enroll in more than one telecourse each semester. Because there are only a few formal meetings with the entire class during the semester, students should be aware of important dates (i.e., last day to drop or add classes, tuition refund, withdrawal).
