Adult Career Advancement (ACA) and Community Relations Center
Career advancement and/or career change is a key reason that many Tusculum College Graduate and Professional Studies students return to college and complete a degree. The quest for furthering job opportunities, increasing earnings potential and identifying career choices can be one of the most important steps students and graduates take as they plan their path for success.
Located in the ACCESS Center (Room 108) in Knoxville, the ACA Center can assist with career and graduate school exploration, guidelines for resume and cover letter development and effective job search tips and support. Students and alumni also have access to resources via the Tusculum College web page, at Tusculum locations in Gray, Morristown and Greeneville or by phone and e-mail.
Working with local and national organizations, the Center hosts recruitment visits and provides free job postings and placement services online and through qualified resume referrals. Mentoring and networking opportunities are also encouraged through Tusculum College faculty, alumni and partnerships with area business leaders.

Class Attendance
Classes are held one evening a week for four hours with the instructor.
In addition, study group assignments require up to four hours of small-group
work each week. Class attendance is mandatory and is recorded by the faculty
member, who submits student attendance records to the administrative office.
A grade of “F” is automatically assigned to any student who
misses more than one third of a class. This is an institutional policy
and is not left to the discretion of the faculty member. Individual faculty
members often adopt more stringent attendance requirements as detailed
in their syllabi and require any missed work to be made up. Students should
realize that failure to attend class or study group meetings may also
impact financial aid. Refer to sections on “Financial Aid”
and “Withdrawal” for further information.

Class Representatives
The main function of the class representative is to serve as liaison between
the class and the Graduate and Professional Studies faculty, administration,
and staff. Class representatives disseminate information to members of
the class, such as course syllabi, announcements, and other communications.
The class representative is the spokesperson for the class when the class
wishes to convey information to members of the staff and faculty.
