Student Services and Resources

Regard for the student as a person, and provision of opportunities for participation in the co-curricular life of the university are basic commitments of East Tennessee State University. Dedicated, caring individuals strive to give the student a sense of belonging to ETSU.

Student services are available to meet the special needs of minority groups, students with disabilities, and those with specific health or academic problems.

Adult, Commuter, and Transfer Services—Because we know that making a successful transition means more than getting a schedule of classes, A.C.T.S. serves as a central source of student information, referral and advocacy for ETSU’s adult, commuter, and transfer population. Adult students benefit from personalized referrals while gaining a greater awareness of university services and events. Commuting student services include easy access to campus maps, a battery pack, air  compressor, shuttle/transit schedules, off-campus housing listings, and the Carpool and RideShare programs. Transfer students receive guidance and support in making the transition from other colleges and universities to ETSU – no matter how long it’s been since they were last in school. In partnership with other university offices and academic departments, A.C.T.S. will help facilitate the smooth entry of adult, commuter, and transfer students into the ETSU graduate or undergraduate community and support their continuation toward completion of their degree.

A.C.T.S. advises the Zeta Tau Chapter of the adult student honorary, Alpha Sigma Lambda, as well as a chapter of Tau Sigma – the national honorary fro transfer students.

Developmental Studies Program—(DSP) courses are designed to strengthen academic skills in math, writing, reading, and learning strategies. The Tennessee Board of Regents mandates that all institutions offer developmental studies courses.

Assessment and Placement – Valid ACT or SAT (scores less than three years old) will be used to determine whether students will be placed in DSP courses. If ACT sub scores (comparable SAT is 460) in English, Reading, and Math are less than 19, placement will be made in required DSP courses. For students 21 years of age or older who do not have valid ACT or SAT scores, the COMPASS is required. COMPASS is the computerized instrument used to determine placement into developmental classes when a student is not submitting ACT or SAT scores.

Transfer Students – are required to test the appropriate areas of COMPASS if they are transferring to ETSU without college-level Math or English. The Reading test may also be required. Students with high school unit deficiencies may also be required to take the COMPASS test.

Placement Challenge – Placement results can be challenged once by taking the COMPASS test prior to the start of classes. A $20 nonrefundable fee will be charged for challenge testing. Students who have previously enrolled in a course and failed to complete the course may not challenge Developmental Studies Program placement.

Credit Hour Computation – Credit hours earned in DSP courses are in addition to the minimum number of hours required for graduation in any degree program. Credit hours and grade points earned in these courses are used in the computation of a student’s overall grade point average (GPA), but are not computed for honors recognition or for meeting requirements for graduation.

Drop and Completion Policy – DSP courses cannot be dropped without permission from the University Advisement Center. Students must complete each DSP course in which they have been placed with a minimal grade of C.

COMPASS Testing – To schedule to take the COMPASS test, register online at http://testingcenter.etsu.edu/index.php. (Click on Register and then Register NOW.) Students are required to bring a valid photo ID. The COMPASS test is a computerized test and is not timed.

Advisement – Academic counselors in the University Advisement Center (ARC, 2nd level of the D.P. Culp Center) provide academic advisement as well as career and personal counseling for students enrolled in DSP courses. Students who require only DSP math courses are advised in their major department.

Disability Services—In compliance with federal regulations outlined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, East Tennessee State University makes accommodations, course substitutions, and other academic adjustments when necessary to ensure equal access for students with disabilities. While all students with disabilities are protected from discrimination, some students may not be eligible for all of the services coordinated by Disability Services. Classroom and testing accommodations are made on an individual case-by-case basis. Students who wish may request an accommodation or academic adjustment because of a disability by completing the intake process with Disability Services self-identity.

During the intake process, Disability Services informs students of procedures surrounding the accommodation process, student responsibilities, as well as ETSU responsibilities. Eligibility for classroom and testing accommodations and other support services coordinated by Disability Services is based on the review of student’s documentation of disability. Intake applications are not complete until Disability Services has received and reviewed current documentation of disability. Individualized education plans (IEP) cannot be used as documentation; however, information included in an IEP may be helpful when identifying the services a student may utilize while at ETSU.

In order to establish eligibility, the documentation provided should follow the established guidelines and include:

Statement of diagnosis, date of most recent evaluation, and when available, date of original diagnosis by an impartial professional,
Description of diagnostic criteria and/or diagnostic tests used,
Description of the current impact of the disability in an academic environment,
Credentials of the diagnosing professional,
Documentation of physical disabilities is required but if the disability is obvious; for example, a mobility impairment, visual impairment, or hearing impairment; extensive documentation may not be needed.
Documentation of mental health-related disabilities should be no more than one year old
Documentation of attention deficit disorders should be no more than three years old, and
Documentation of learning disabilities should be no more than five years old with results based on an adult measurement scale.

The diagnosing professional must have specific training and expertise in a field related to the type of disability being diagnosed. For example, a learning disability diagnosis must be made by a psychologist, psychiatrist, or educational examiner. Documentation not including the information outlined above or from a professional whose credentials are not generally indicative of expertise in the specific disability being diagnosed cannot be used to establish eligibility for services. ETSU does not provide any type of learning disabilities evaluations; however, Disability Services maintains a list of professionals in private practice that can evaluate learning disabilities.

Disability Services is located on the third level in the D.P. Culp Center, on J. L. Seehorn, Jr. Road (v/tdd) (423) 439-8346, (tdd) (423) 439-8370 - http://www.etsu.edu/students/disable.

Benefit Program Applications

Applicants for the MGIB-AD and REAP programs must provide a copy of their most recent Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty [Department of Defense (DD) Form 214]. For MGIB-AD  applicants, if claiming entitlement to the “buy-up” program, provide a copy of the election form and evidence of the increased benefit contribution. New applicants for the MGIB-SR will need to provide a copy of their Selected Reserve Educational Assistance Program Notice of Basic Eligibility (DD Form 2384) available from their unit. If applying for the MGIB-AD, REAP or MGIB-SR and entitled to a college fund/”kicker” then supporting documentation should also be provided. New VR&E and DEA applicants should provide a copy of the disabled veterans’ “Disability Rating Decision.” Additionally, DEA applicants should provide a copy of their birth certificate to submit along with their application. Adoption orders and parents’ marriage license/certificate should be included if the dependent was legally adopted by the veteran. In response to a completed application, the USDVA will issue a “Certificate of Eligibility,” a copy of which should be provided to Veterans’ Affairs. If a beneficiary previously used benefits elsewhere, a change in program or place of training form must be completed.

Policies & Procedures

1. As soon as students are enrolled for classes, they should contact Veterans’ Affairs each semester to request a certification of enrollment to the USDVA Regional Processing Office (RPO). Only required courses in the student’s officially declared academic program may be certified. RPO processing of enrollment certifications of the school can vary but generally require 45-60 days so students should plan accordingly for their personal finances.
2. Students must keep Veterans’ Affairs informed of all change(s) in enrollment so that timely reports can be made to the USDVA RPO.
3. Beneficiaries must attend classes and demonstrate satisfactory conduct and effort toward meeting the course requirements. Failure to maintain satisfactory attendance and conduct may result in retroactive adjustments in certified training time that will likely result in an overpayment of benefits that will be collected by the USDVA.
4. Monthly self-verifications of enrollment can be accomplished securely online at https://www.gibill.va.gov/wave/ or toll-free at 877.823.2378. Interval payments (benefit payments for the time between terms) are also automatic when a beneficiary stays continuously enrolled. Retroactive payments occur only when the RPO processes an enrollment certification for a subsequent term.
5. A student needs only to remain in good academic standing with the institution for continued receipt of benefits.
6. A course for which a student receives an “Incomplete” must be graded within one year or the beneficiary will be subject to a retroactive adjustment in the semester’s training time likely resulting in an overpayment and recovery of benefits.
7. Pre-professional declarations (e.g., Pre-Med, Pre-Law, etc.) as the student’s major and/or enrolling in courses to meet prerequisites for professional study are not approved objectives currently approved by the USDVA.
8. Military registry transcripts are required of all beneficiaries in undergraduate studies who have military service (see separate topic on how to request military registry transcripts). For credit-by-examination policy (e.g., CLEP, DSST, etc.), students should consult the “Non-Traditional Credit” pamphlet available from Undergraduate Admissions.
9. Beneficiaries are expected to regularly consult with their academic advisor and to refer to their respective catalog of admission on academic requirements, policies and procedures. Moreover, students are expected to clearly identify their degree, major (including concentrations, emphasis, tracks, etc.) and minor, as required.
10. All changes to a student’s academic program (except VR&E) must be reported to Veterans’ Affairs office for the completion of the appropriate forms and USDVA reporting. The academic program on file with Veterans’ Affairs must agree with what is declared with the university. VR&E beneficiaries must coordinate any changes in their academic program with their case manager who must approve a program change. Failure to report or coordinate changes of academic programs will likely result in delayed receipt of benefit payments.

Veterans Tuition & Fee Deferments

Beneficiaries who pay in-state tuition and fees, have remaining benefit entitlement, and such entitlement does not expire within the semester may request additional time in payment of tuition and fees under state law. Approval is contingent upon a beneficiary demonstrating benefits eligibility with sufficient entitlement to cover tuition and fees and no indebtedness to the USDVA. If a continuing student or one previously enrolled and utilized a veteran’s tuition and fee deferment, the student must have timely paid in full deferred tuition and fees to remain eligible for the deferment. Students who do not follow the conditions of a deferment will forfeit their eligibility for deferments in all future enrollments.

Military Registry Transcripts

New and transfer undergraduate student beneficiaries with military service must ensure an official military registry transcript is sent to Veterans’ Affairs and Undergraduate Admissions offices. University policy permits the award of academic credit only for formal military training and not skill levels attained/occupational experience. Army training with academic credit award recommendations is documented in an Army-American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS) transcript (further information available at http://aarts.army.mil/order.htm). Navy and Marine Corps training is contained in a Sailor-Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART) (for further information or to order online go to http://www.google.com/search?q=AARTS). Air Force veterans must submit an official transcript from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) (for further information or to make online requests go to http://www.google.com/search?q=AARTS). Students with formal Coast Guard training should submit an official copy of their Coast Guard Institute transcript, if available (request form available at http://www.google.com/search?q=AARTS). All forms to request transcripts are also available in the Veterans’ Affairs office.

Veterans Work-Study Allowance Program

Veteran work-study opportunities are available locally to beneficiaries with sufficient remaining benefit entitlement and enrolled in school at least three-quarter time. Interested students should contact the Human Resources (Building 20) office at the James H. Quillen Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) at Mountain Home. The VAMC Veterans Work-Study Coordinator may be contacted at 423.926.1171, extension 7183.

Military Mobilizations

A student may withdraw at any time during the semester for active military service and the student’s academic record will be annotated as a withdrawal for military reasons. A copy of official military orders or other official supporting documentation must be submitted for review in advance of withdrawing. Depending on the nature/authority of the call to active duty, payments under certain federal benefit programs may be kept and entitlement used during the interrupted term restored to the beneficiary’s entitlement. Tuition and fees may also be refunded under certain instances of active military duty. Students receiving financial aid should check with the Financial Aid Office for the handling of Title IV funds awarded. Students should contact any student loan lenders and inform them of their military status to avoid entering student loan repayment status and other possible adverse collection actions while serving on active duty.

Veterans’ Affairs is located in 101A Burgin E. Dossett Hall and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. The office can be reached at 423.439.6819 or va@etsu.edu.

Housing and Residence Life 

Student housing is an integral part of ETSU campus life. On-campus living is attractive, affordable, safe, and convenient and offers many educational opportunities for students. Resident students have increased access to the library; computer labs; extracurricular activities; intercollegiate athletics; health facilities; intramural and recreation programs; other students; lectures; concerts; other campus facilities; services; and programs.

On-campus living offers many ways for residents to experience individual growth and development.

Campus Recreation 

The Department of Campus Recreation, a unit in the Division of Student Affairs, provides a wide range of physical activities and recreational sports for the entire ETSU community. Five types of programs are offered: fitness, intramural sports, non-credit instruction, outdoor adventure, and sports clubs.

All programs operate out of the Basler Center for Physical Activity, a “state-of-the-art” indoor and outdoor complex designed for the exclusive recreational use of the ETSU student body and current employees. The “CPA” was built and operates with student fee dollars. Indoor spaces include: basketball/soccer/volleyball courts, climbing wall, group exercise/ martial arts studio, pool, racquetball/squash courts, and weight-rooms (huge weight-room). There is also a casual care service, equipment room, locker room, and personal training suite. Directly adjacent to the CPA is the Basler Challenge course with its towers, walls, and low elements. Also located beside the building are two lighted ballfields that can accommodate a range of team sports. The project’s intent will improve the connection students have to ETSU and give them a more complete collegiate experience.

Fitness programs are the most popular types of recreational activity on any college campus. The CPA boasts a 15,000-square-foot weight-room with cardiovascular stations, free weights, and weight machines. Aerobic/ group exercise classes are scheduled daily in the CPA’s aerobics/martial arts studio. There is also a personal training service with fitness testing, exercise prescription, and supervised workouts. Lap swimming will be scheduled three times daily during the week. Aqua aerobics classes are scheduled as well.

Varieties of team and individual intramural sports are scheduled each semester. Traditional fall team sports are flag football and volleyball. Spring team sports are basketball and softball. The four major leagues play four game regular seasons plus playoffs and contest Men’s A, Men’s B, Women’s, and Co-Rec divisions. Each year’s individual sports includes two road races and a golf tournament in the fall, and a bench press contest, racquetball, and tennis in the spring. Campus Recreation is also very involved in Homecoming in the fall.

Non-credit instruction classes provide ETSU students with the opportunity to learn new physical activities and recreational sports from qualified instructors. The unit has offered karate, kayaking, rock climbing, and swim lessons and intends to expand into racquet sports, SCUBA, and self-defense in the near future.

The Basler Challenge Course is the centerpiece of the university’s outdooradventure program. The course includes an Alpine Tower, Carolina Straight Wall, and 12 low elements. Campus Recreation stages leadership and team building seminars for academic departments and student groups. For more information or to schedule a seminar, call 439-4266. There are also times for individual students to challenge the tower and climb. All gear is provided. Backpacks, sleeping bags, and tents can be rented from room 230, Brooks Gym. The department stages skydiving, paintball, skiing, and whitewater rafting most years.

Student leadership and volunteerism in an athletic environment are the focus of sports clubs programs. Individual clubs promote competition, instruction, and social interaction. To learn about currently functioning clubs, or to establish a new one, contact the Campus Recreation Office.

Campus Recreation is one of ETSU’s largest employees of student labor. The unit participates in all of the university’s work programs - APS, FWSP, RSWP, and temporary support. Graduate assistant positions are also available.

Preference is given to students majoring in exercise science or sports management, but any ETSU student would find Campus Recreation to be a challenging, rewarding, user-friendly environment. Studies have indicated that students who are employed on campus persist to graduation better than those who work off campus or do not work at all. Please inquire early in the semester about possible employment opportunities.

There are two options for spouse and dependent use of the CPA. Spouse and dependent memberships may be purchased at the equipment room. Such memberships are available only to the immediate family members of currently enrolled students and currently employed faculty and staff members. Pricing was established based on the $70 student fee increase and other university fee structures and the market value of commercial fitness and recreation centers in the Tri-Cities. Dependents 17 and under must be accompanied by a parent at all times in the CPA. Memberships for dependents 18-21 may also be purchased and those adult users will be issued a picture ID. Access will not be made available to dependents 22 and over. A Saturday morning family program will be held weekly from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. free of charge. Families will be able to use the pool, climbing wall, and gyms. There will also be instructional programs and special events scheduled on a regular basis. Children must be accompanied by their parents at all times and proper ETSU ID will be required for admission.

Participation in any type of positive activity is an important part of the collegiate experience. However, there are risks involved in any and all sports. Persons injured while participating in recreational activities are responsible for their own medical expenses. ETSU does not carry any type of blanket insurance coverage. The Department of Campus Recreation takes a wide range of precautions to protect its participants, but everyone is encouraged to purchase some type of comprehensive insurance protection.

It is the goal of the Department of Campus Recreation to provide a comprehensive service schedule of events, programs, and services for the entire ETSU community. The program is all-inclusive and previous athletic experience or skill is not a prerequisite for participation. For more information, call 439-7980 or come by the department office in the Basler Center for Physical Activity.

Intercollegiate Athletics

The university is a member of the Atlantic Sun Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Eligibility of students to participate is determined by rules established by these organizations and by the university. Teams in basketball, baseball, golf, cross country, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, volleyball, soccer, and softball represents the university in intercollegiate competition. The department also sponsors a cheerleading team. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is located in Memorial Center, room 325W, phone 423/439-4343 or http://www.etsubucs.com.
