All institution-wide policies and procedures guiding the academic programs offered through the UTHSC are available in one of two places: (1) the official student handbook, CenterScope and, (2) on the UTHSC policy site (at https://policy.tennessee.edu/procedures/ut-health-sciences-center-handbooks-and-procedures/). CenterScope, the official student handbook for the institution, provides important information on student government, academic and student support services, technology support services, available health services, financial aid, emergency procedures, institution-wide policies and procedures of particular relevance for students, rights and responsibilities of students, the Student Code of Conduct, the judicial system governing student actions, and a summary of a variety of organizations and opportunities for students. Policies and procedures governing academic, faculty and student affairs are available at the website provided above and are updated routinely. Students are strongly encouraged to review the information provided in CenterScope, and in the present bulletin, upon acceptance into one of the UTHSC programs.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Any questions regarding SAP should be directed to the student’s assigned Financial Aid Counselor listed at http://www.uthsc.edu/finaid/important-information/staff.php.
