Many online and alternate deliver fees to be waived for Spring 2021
To be mindful of the financial pressures students are experiencing during the pandemic, the university has decided to waive online and alternate delivery fees for many Spring 2021 online courses. If a course is online instead of in-person due to the pandemic, the university will not charge students an online fee for that course.
Please note that there are a limited number of online programs, including TNecampus undergraduate and graduate courses, where online fees will be assessed: DMBA, MACC, Nursing MSN, Nursing DNP and RN-BSN, EXPW Graduate Program, and Professional Studies Graduate Program. TNeCampus courses have had fees since the late 1990s, and due to state consortium rules, those courses will continue to have online fees that the university cannot waive.

Autumn 2020 Production Opens at Backdoor Playhouse
Backdoor Playhouse at TN Tech
Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde by Moisés Kaufman
Directed by Mark Harry Creter
November 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21, 2020 at 8:00 p.m.
November 19, 2020 at 10:00 p.m.
November 21, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.
In order to safely distance the audience from one another we will only be accommodating 32 people in the auditorium per performance. Audiences will be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.
THE STORY:
GROSS INDECENCY uses trial transcripts, personal correspondence, interviews and other source materials to tell the story of the downfall of the great man of letters whose artistic genius has long been overshadowed by the scandal surrounding his imprisonment. “His style was his umbrella, his armor, his all-purpose defense system, and for many years it seemed to shelter Oscar Wilde most effectively. There came a moment, however, in 1895 when the playwright was betrayed by his own wit, after which he would never again be able to gain control of his life.
