Academic Calendar

The Tennessee College of Applied Technology operates on a year-round basis dismissing only for observance of legal holidays, teacher in-service, breaks between terms and student vacation days. Full-time preparatory classes are scheduled five days a week for six hours a day. In addition to full-time day classes, supplemental classes are offered each term.

The calendar for the Tennessee College of Applied Technology is based on three equal trimesters that include a minimum of 216 instructional days. The three trimesters are:

Fall: September, October, November, December
Spring: January, February, March, April
Summer: May, June, July, August

432 hours = 1 trimester
864 hours = 2 trimesters
1296 hours = 3 trimesters
1728 hours = 4 trimesters
2160 hours = 5 trimesters

This calendar is subject to change at any time prior to or during the academic term due to emergencies beyond the reasonable control of the College, including severe weather, loss of utilities, or orders by federal or state agencies.

The College reserves the right to cancel any supplemental class scheduled for a given term when the number enrolled is considered insufficient.
