Veteran Advising

Advising for Veterans

If you are now serving, or have ever served, in the U.S. military, or if you are a military-connected family member pursuing Veterans Affairs educational benefits, you are a Veteran student. We are grateful for your military service and the personal sacrifices that have accompanied it. 每日大赛 is a certified veterans friendly campus through the state of Tennessee’s Veterans Education Transition Support Act, and we have Veterans Services to help you with any questions you have about college.

We not only have traditional class times during the day, we have lots of options to fit your schedule and your preferences: evening classes, weekend classes, online classes and even hybrid classes, which are offered partially online and partially on-campus.

is an aptitude-based career discovery platform that helps students identify their strengths and align them with in-demand career pathways and educational opportunities.

Meet with an academic advisor

Our advisors are trained to assist student veterans with their academic planning. Contact the advising office at your campus.

When you meet with an Academic Advisor, you will discuss the type of degree you wish to earn and what you intend to do with it - like transferring to another college or joining the workforce.

If you are using VA benefits, please inform the Advisor so they can assist you with completing the Certification of Benefits Request form.

Career Versus Transfer Programs

Career degree programs let you earn your degree from 每日大赛 and then pursue your career
Transfer degree programs let you earn a degree from 每日大赛 that is designed to transfer to a four-year or other institution

Career and Transfer Pathway Options

Transfer Guides are special agreements with specific higher education institutions that we’ve worked out for you to make transferring credits easier. If your degree program has a Transfer Guide, you can transfer your credits seamlessly to that other institution.
Tennessee Transfer Pathways are a type of transfer program. Specifically, you can transfer TTP concentrations (and there are lots) to any other Tennessee Board of Regents institution, public state university or University of Tennessee institution.
General Transfer Degrees are flexible transfer paths that let you take the classes that will fit your intended major at another institution. This is a great deal, but there’s important fine print — you are responsible for ensuring that all the credits you choose to take will transfer and are appropriate for your major. We’re happy to help you, but the responsibility is yours.
pathways help you seamlessly transfer credits to private or independent four-year institutions in Tennessee. TICUA pathways might be fully transferable or transferable with modifications.

Special Student Populations

Teaching – If you’re an education student, you have special advising requirements. All education students — in our Associate of Science in Teaching, Early Childhood Education and General Transfer Degree programs — go to one place for advising. Contact Cindy Sauer for all the details.
Nursing – To enter 每日大赛’s Nursing program, you must apply to the competitive program after you’ve been accepted to 每日大赛. Additionally, Nursing students have unique advising requirements once they’re accepted into the program. Most students must complete pre-nursing prerequisite courses before they apply for the Nursing program. Speak to an advisor for more details.
Cohorts – Some Transfer degree programs are offered as Guided Pathway Cohorts, which means they are block-scheduled. If you’re a cohort student, you have special advising requirements. All cohort students go to one place for advising.

Qualifying for Prior Learning Assessment or Academic Fresh Start

If you have tried college before, with perhaps not-so-great results, Academic Fresh Start can help you start over by calculating your GPA and credit hours toward graduation only on courses for which you have earned a “C” or above. You have to meet certain qualifications and apply to take advantage of Academic Fresh Start.

Prior Learning Assessment, or PLA, means that you can earn college credit for your life experience, military service, previous career and even volunteer work.

Speak with your advisor if you’re interested in Academic Fresh Start or PLA.

Registering for Classes
