In the new year our campus will have a new
look. UT’s logo has been updated to feature the Power T instead of the system
“UT” icon. The logo’s rollout will be phased in beginning January 1,
2015, and will apply to all of UT Knoxville’s units, including student organizations.

help you make decisions about your spring semester course selections. The project is
currently in the pilot stage and contains only syllabi from upper-division undergraduate
courses from the College of Arts and Sciences from fall 2013 and spring 2014 semesters.
