University of Tennessee Knoxville

University of Tennessee Knoxville
Founded in 1794, UT is big on tradition, and we are proud of our humble beginnings as the first public university chartered west of the Appalachian Divide. We embody excellence in teaching, research, scholarship, creative activity, outreach, and engagement. We are improving undergraduate and graduate education, research, support for faculty and staff, our campus infrastructure, and our resources.

Services


Housing services

Choosing where to live is an important aspect of university life. University Housing is committed to assisting students as they select the residential environment that will enhance their overall university experience. We acknowledge that students may have specific accommodation requests or needs. Therefore, it is important that you contact University Housing as soon as possible. We will consult with you regarding available options. Please be specific and communicate all of your specific needs or requests.


Library services

The University of Tennessee Libraries serves the flagship campus of Tennessee’s premier public research university. The John C. Hodges Library in the heart of campus houses the majority of the UT Libraries’ collections and many unique services. Research assistance and technology services are available almost all hours of the week in the student-centric Commons


ICT services

The OIT Help Desk provides information and support for computer and network services managed by OIT (for instance device support, email, password resets). You can also check out a laptop, learn how to use a media lab called The Studio, check out cameras, use media workstations, watch a video for class, get help using one of the library’s many databases, and ask reference questions.


Medical services

The Student Health Center believes every person should be able to reach their health potential. The cost of all Student Health Center visits is covered by each semester’s health fee. However, if you receive any of the following services, including all lab work, immunizations, injections, x-rays, and durable medical goods  there will be additional, nominal charges associated with your visit.


Student Life


Campus life

Our campus is just a short walk or trolley ride away from downtown Knoxville, a thriving modern city with small town charm. UT is also perfectly situated for outdoor adventure: our front yard is the Tennessee River, and our backyard is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

University Housing is much more than a bed, a desk, and a roof over your head. We provide safe, comfortable spaces you’ll be happy to call home during your time at UT—spaces where you’ll sleep, eat, study, play, discover friends, and make great memories—but that’s just the beginning.


Sports facilities

The Tennessee Recreation Center for Students (TRECS) boasts four basketball courts and a 1/7th-mile indoor circular track. The main fitness area includes over 80 pieces of cardiovascular and over 100 strength training stations, which includes a variety of selectorized and free-weight equipment. As part of the cardiovascular selection there are 18 treadmills, 33 elliptical machines along with an in-house entertainment system that allows participants to watch and listen to their favorite TV stations or XM radio as you workout. For those looking for a more relaxing experience, participants can lounge around the pool either on our outdoor patio overlooking the pool or from an upper pool deck connected to the pool.
