university is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. For one year, from December 2015 until December 2016, the university was on probation for "falling short of standards related to evidence of institutional effectiveness and general education competencies." During the tenure of Robert Smith, UT Martin successfully met the challenge and was removed from probation. For this and other accomplishments during his 19 months as interim chancellor, the UT Board of Trustees honored Smith by removing the designation "interim" and officially named him the university's tenth chancellor.
U.S. News & World Report in its 2024 edition ranked the university tied for #27 in Regional Universities South.
