This catalog is not intended to state contractual terms and does not constitute a contract between the student and the institution.

The acquisition and retention of knowledge by any stu- dent is, however, contingent upon the student’s desire and ability to learn and his or her application of appropriate study techniques to any course or program. Thus, Roane State Community College must necessarily limit representation of student prepared- ness in any field of study to that competency demonstrated at that specific point in time at which appropriate academic measurements were taken to certify course or program completion. Roane State’s just down the road.... Our goal is to make higher education accessible where you live and work. Recognizing that our society places so many multiple demands on our students’ busy lives, we work hard to offer our classes in con- venient locations and at flexible times. As you browse through this catalog and see the diverse programs and classes, please remember that they are available in many ways: tradi- tional classes, video check-out classes, satellite campus classes, two- way interactive video classes, express classes, and Internet classes.
