Petition for General Education Credit

Advisors initiate these petitions when a student's transfer course(s) appear to meet UTC's General Education standards, but do not have an exact equivalent among UTC's General Education courses. Contact your advisor if you wish to pursue a General Education Petition.

Each petition must include:

• current MyMocsDegree Evaluation;
• course description for each course (from the appropriate college catalog); and
• course syllabus for each course (from student records or course instructor)

Petition for General Education Workflow:

1. Academic advisor will begin the petition and upload documentation to route to the relevant general education department head and the student's program department head.
2. Student receives a notification the form has been initiated.
3. Relevant General Education department head approves, disapproves, or refers to the General Education Committee.
4. Program department head approves, disapproves, or refers to the General Education Committee.

   • Student will be notified when the petition is applied in MyMocsDegree.
