History

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock was founded in 1927 as Little Rock Junior College under the supervision of the Little Rock Board of Education. During the first semester, there were eight instructors and about 100 students. By 1929, the college was accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, a status it has kept through changes in size and status.

For other numbers, consult the University Directory and search for the office title that matches your needs; the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and the Office of Records and Registration are most often needed by incoming students.

These offices are located on the second floor of the Charles W. Donaldson Student Services Center.

The Academic Advisors provide advice on the selection of required courses and programs for undeclared majors. All students who are undecided about a specific field of study must contact this office, located on the third floor of the Student Services Center.

If you have decided on a major or have narrowed your choice to a few areas, contact the academic advisor or chairperson of the appropriate department or the dean of the college or school.

If you have a problem or concern regarding student life on campus or have a question about student judicial affairs, start at the Student Experience Center, located on the upper level of the Donaghey Student Center.

The Information Center is also located in the Donaghey Student Center on the first floor across from the bookstore; personnel there can assist you with specific questions.

Department chairpersons and deans are appropriate people to contact for any academic problem at any time. All academic units are under the direction of the provost and executive vice chancellor.

The Catalog provides you with background information about the university and available programs. You will also find other important information to assist you. Information can be accessed via college and department sections and via program listings and course descriptions. Each of these sections describes the requirements for major and/or minor programs. Most courses are scheduled at least once every two years. The Interdisciplinary Studies section lists degree programs that involve work in more than one department or college.

How to Get Help

Often the information you need can be obtained on the UA Little Rock website at ualr.edu or by telephone at 501-916-3000. Departmental numbers are included in their respective sections within the Catalog.

Housed at first in public school buildings, the college moved in 1949 to its present location in southwest Little Rock on a beautifully wooded site donated by Raymond Rebsamen, a Little Rock businessman. By that time, the college was the sole beneficiary of a continuing trust established by former Governor George W. Donaghey.

The institution began a four-year degree program in 1957. At that time, the University was independent and privately supported under a separate board of trustees and took the name Little Rock University. In September 1969, after several years of discussion and study, Little Rock University merged with the University of Arkansas System to create the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. That was a major step in the creation of a multi-campus system. Within this structure, UA Little Rock is state-supported, operationally separate, and specifically oriented toward serving the educational needs of Arkansas.

The University of Arkansas merger began a period of rapid growth, which saw UA Little Rock go from about 3,500 students and 75 full-time faculty members in 1969 to about 12,000 students and 500 full-time faculty members today. The University's expanded offerings now include more than 100 undergraduate and graduate degrees, and an extensive schedule of night, weekend, and extended programs. We also provide a wide range of community educational services. UA Little Rock began offering graduate and professional work in 1975 and the UA Little Rock Graduate School was created in 1977. Besides the juris doctor, UA Little Rock has ten doctoral programs and 39 graduate and professional programs, as well as joint programs with other campuses of the University of Arkansas System. UA Little Rock is classified by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a Doctoral/Research University.

Presidents of the Little Rock Junior College and Little Rock University include R.C. Hall (1927-1930), John A. Larson (1930- 1950), Granville Davis (1950-1954), E.Q. Brothers (acting president 1954-1956), and Carey V. Stabler (1956-1969).

Chancellors of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock include Carey V. Stabler (1969-1972), James H. Fribourgh (acting chancellor 1972-1973, 1982), G. Robert Ross (1973-1982), James H. Young (1982-1992), Joel E. Anderson (interim chancellor 1993), Charles E. Hathaway (1993-2002), Joel E. Anderson (2003-2016), Andrew Rogerson (2016 – 2019), and Christy Drale (2019-present).

Student Body

One of the most exciting things about UA Little Rock is the diversity reflected in the student body. The campus includes people ranging from the usual college ages of 18 to 21 to students over 60. Most students work at least part-time, and many are married and/or have children at home. Many attend college part-time and take one, two, or three courses a semester. Some students take courses for personal enrichment or job advancement without immediate plans to get a degree. About a third are going to college at night only. More than 60 percent of the students are women, about 21 percent are African-American, 3 percent identify as Hispanic/Latino, about 10 percent identify as two or more races and a growing number are international students. (according to 2024 data)

Mission Statement

University of Arkansas System Mission

The University of Arkansas System is a comprehensive, multi-campus, publicly-aided institution dedicated to the improvement of the mind and spirit through the development and dissemination of knowledge. The University embraces and expands the historic trust inherent in the land-grant philosophy by providing access to academic and professional education, developing intellectual growth and cultural awareness in its students, and applying knowledge and research skills to an ever-changing human condition. (Adopted by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees, 1989)

Most universities today develop and publish statements explaining their purposes and describing their programs. Official boards that govern a campus or coordinate its activities with other campuses also develop and publish such statements. UA Little Rock has mission statements and role and scope statements developed at three levels: the University of Arkansas

System, the statewide coordinating board, and the campus. Although not identical, the statements are similar and consistent in content, each reflecting a different perspective from a different level of responsibility.

The mission statement is typically brief, general, and philosophical. It states why the institution exists. It addresses fundamental purposes and permanent commitments. It distinguishes the university from other social institutions such as a church, a factory, a political party, or an elementary school.

The role and scope statement is more concrete and specific than the mission statement. Elements of a role and scope statement have only relative permanence. The role and scope statement distinguishes one university from other universities. Each university campus has a role to play in a larger cast of actors. Thus, role and scope statements tend to be of particular concern to officials responsible for governing or coordinating multiple university campuses.

The role and scope statement typically discloses the nature and range of the institution's responsibilities and activities, geographical service area, disciplines in which programs are provided, levels of degree offerings, e.g., associate, baccalaureate, master's, doctoral, dominant characteristics of the student clientele, other constituencies to be served, emphasis areas, and sometimes future directions.

Included in this chapter are the mission statement of the University of Arkansas System, the role and scope statement for UA Little Rock adopted by the University of Arkansas Board of Trustees, and the role and scope statement for UA Little Rock published by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education and adopted by the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board. They are followed by the current mission, objectives, and role and scope statements developed at UA Little Rock.

University Policies

*All UA Little Rock policies are posted on the policy website.

Equal Access for Students with Disabilities

In compliance with federal regulations, it is the policy of UA Little Rock to respond to student requests for course accommodation, substitution, and other adjustments because of a documented disability on an individual basis and in a manner that does not result in discrimination. Where requests are complex and not easily handled through the regular course substitution procedures, the Disability Resource Center will review the case and decide in conjunction with academic departments when appropriate. The Disability Resource Center will work through the interactive process with the student to determine accommodations. Students who wish to request academic adjustments because of a disability should consult the academic adjustment procedures printed in the UA Little Rock Student Handbook, or contact the Disability Resource Center at 501.916.3143.

The syllabus for each UA Little Rock course should include the following statement:

"Students with Disabilities: Your success in this class is important to me, and it is the policy and practice of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to create inclusive learning environments consistent with federal and state law. If you have a documented disability (or need to have a disability documented) and need accommodation, please contact me privately as soon as possible, so that we can discuss with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) how to meet your specific needs and the requirements of the course. The DRC offers resources and coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are established through an interactive process among you, your instructor(s), and the DRC. Thus, if you have a disability, please contact me and/or the DRC, at 501.916.3143 or 501.246.8296. For more information, please visit the DRC website, or telephone (501) 916-3143."

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

Students at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock have certain rights concerning their educational records as stipulated by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Students should consult the UA Little Rock Student Handbook for the delineation of those rights.

HIV

In support of its mission to discover and disseminate knowledge and to promote humane sensitivities and understanding of interdependence, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock endorses the following policy for responding to Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.

Based on conclusive evidence from the U.S. Public Health Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people living with HIV infection pose no threat of transmission through casual contact with those who are not infected. Because many people are infected and don't know it, the University accepts an inclusive approach that recognizes any individual could be HIV positive. No screening or inquiries regarding HIV status will be made for admission or employment.

Access

People with HIV/AIDS are protected from discrimination by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Appropriate, reasonable accommodations will be made for students and employees who are infected and they will be accorded all rights of access and responsibilities in every aspect of University life. Acts of discrimination or abuse will not be tolerated. Confidentiality will be observed.

Prevention and Education

The University will provide ongoing training for students and employees that include the following:

• Facts about infection, transmission, prevention, testing sites, and disclosure
• Skill development and equipment for self-protection
• A climate that fosters care and respect for self and others

For information about educational programs contact the Offices of Health Services or Human Resource Services.

Support Services

The Health Services Office is the primary point of confidential contact for people living with HIV and will serve as a resource to the campus community regarding HIV issues on campus.

Support services and referrals are also available in the following offices: Counseling and Career Planning Services, Disability Resource Center, and the Arkansas Employee Assistance Program.

Policy Implementation and Review

The University Health and Wellness Committee will be responsible for the implementation of this policy. They will review this policy semi-annually or as scientific information emerges and submit revisions to the University Assembly for approval. (Adopted by the Faculty Senate, 4/19/96)

Name Changes

U.S. citizens

To comply with several government agency reporting requirements, the University must record each student's name as it appears on his/her social security card. Students who need to change their names on UA Little Rock records must complete a name change form (available at the Office of Records and Registration) and present a social security card and picture identification when submitting the form. After the change is implemented, the name on the UA Little Rock transcript, diploma, and other documents will read as printed on the social security card. If the social security card is incorrect, students must change their records with the Social Security Administration Office first. No changes will be made to the UA Little Rock record until a new Social Security Card is issued and presented to the Office of Records and Registration.

International students

International students who need to change their names on UA Little Rock records should consult with the Director of Records and Registration, who will specify appropriate documentation.

Nondiscrimination

UA Little Rock adheres to a policy that enables all individuals, regardless of race, color, gender, national origin, age, religion, sexual orientation, veteran's status, or disability, to work and study in an environment unfettered by discriminatory behavior or acts. Harassment of an individual or group will not be condoned, and any person (student, faculty, or staff member) who violates this policy will be subject to disciplinary action.

Any person who believes they have been discriminated against should contact the Human Resources Office to obtain assistance and information concerning the filing of complaints, at (501) 916-3180.

Harassment that is considered discriminatory includes actions or conduct (verbal, graphic, gestural, or written) directed against any person or group with the intent to demean or create a hostile or threatening environment. It is not the intent of this policy to infringe upon or limit educational, scholarly, or artistic expression. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against should contact the Office of Human Relations to obtain assistance and information concerning the filing of a complaint.

At the same time, the university prohibits discriminatory practices, it promotes equal opportunity through affirmative action. Non-discriminatory, affirmative action, and equal opportunity policies apply to recruitment, hiring, job classification, and placement, work conditions, promotional opportunities, demotions/transfers, terminations, training, compensation, choice of contractors and suppliers of goods and services, educational opportunities, disciplinary action, recreational and social activities, use of facilities, housing, and university-sponsored programs.

Policy 201.1 appears on the policy website.

Prohibiting Sexual Harassment

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock does not discriminate based on sex in the education programs and activities that it operates and is prohibited from doing so by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq., and the U.S. Department of Education's implementing regulations, 34 CFR Part 106. The University's nondiscrimination policy extends to admission, employment, and other programs and activities. Inquiries regarding the application of Title IX and 34 C.F.R. Part 106 may be sent to the University's Title IX Coordinator, the U.S. Department of Education Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, or both.

Sexual harassment as defined in this policy (including sexual assault) is a form of sex discrimination and is prohibited. Title IX requires the University to promptly and reasonably respond to sexual harassment in the University's educational programs and activities, provided that the harassment was perpetrated against a person in the United States. At the time that a formal complaint is filed, the complainant must be participating in (or attempting to participate in) an education program or activity of the University. An education program or activity includes locations, events, or circumstances over which the University exercised substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the sexual harassment occurs, and also includes any building owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by a postsecondary institution.

This policy applies to allegations and complaints of sexual harassment as defined herein. All other complaints of discrimination or misconduct that do not fall within the jurisdiction of Title IX may be made through other campus procedures.

This policy shall not be construed or applied to restrict academic freedom at the University. Further, it shall not be construed to restrict any rights protected under the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, or any other constitutional provisions. This policy also does not limit an employee's rights under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. All complaints or any concerns about conduct that may violate this policy should be submitted to the Title IX Coordinator, Senior Title IX Deputy Coordinator, or Title IX Deputy Coordinators. All references to the Title IX Coordinator in this policy implicitly include the Senior Deputy Title IX Coordinator or designee.

UA Little Rock's complete policy for Title IX Policy for Complaints of Sexual Assault and Other Forms of Sexual Harassment – 401.7 appears on the policy website.

Smoke-Free Campus

Smoking on UA Little Rock campuses is regulated under the authority of the Arkansas Clean Air Act, A.C.A. §6-60-801 et. seq., and Act 847 of 2015.

In accordance with Arkansas state law, UA Little Rock is a smoke-free campus. Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes or vapor devices, is strictly prohibited in all locations of the University, including the main campus, the William H. Bowen School of Law, and the UA Little Rock Benton Center.

Any person who is convicted of a violation of this law may be punished by a fine. Additionally, students, staff, and faculty who fail to comply with this policy are subject to the disciplinary actions of the university. (Chancellor's Office, 8/16/09)

Academic Requirements, Regulations, & Policies

Please Note: Policies are reviewed often and are subject to change.

Academic Year

The academic year includes two regular semesters in the fall and spring, each with seven accelerated terms within the semester, and a summer semester with four terms. The unit of credit is the semester hour. This unit is defined as credit earned for the completion of one hour per week in class for one semester. Two hours or more of laboratory work per week for one term equals a one-semester hour of credit. UA Little Rock offers night and weekend courses, web-based courses, and face-to-face and hybrid courses on campus and at various off-campus locations.

Baccalaureate Degree Requirements

To receive a baccalaureate degree, a student must complete 120 hours (academic majors and colleges may specify additional and/or more restrictive requirements) of which 30 hours must be in residence and 45 must be upper-level (3000 level or above). At least 15 upper-level hours must be completed in residence. A baccalaureate degree program may require more than 120 semester hours of college credit if prior approval has been granted by the Board of Trustees or if it is a requirement of an independent licensing or accrediting body. Except for majors that must adhere to standards established by national accrediting agencies, students must select at least 12 elective hours outside their program in addition to the UA Little Rock Core Curriculum.

These required hours must include:

• A minimum of a 2.0 cumulative grade point on all work attempted at the university.
• A minimum of a 2.0 cumulative grade point on all work attempted in the academic major.
• A core curriculum must include a 3-hour course in U.S. History or U.S. Government and a 3-hour course in College Algebra, College Math, or a higher-level math course. See Core Requirements for Bachelor Degrees.
• A major.

Associate Degree Requirements

Except for certain programs as specified by the program, all students receiving the associate degree (the AA or AS) must complete at least 60 hours.

Graduation with an associate degree requires a C average (2.0 cumulative grade-point average) on all work attempted at the University; completion of at least 20 hours above the freshman level unless specified otherwise in the program; and completion of at least 15 hours (excluding credit by examination) in residence. Hours earned as credit by examination are counted as hours toward graduation but are not counted as hours in residence. See "Credit by Examination."

Courses completed for an associate degree at UA Little Rock will be counted toward the appropriate requirements for the baccalaureate degree.

Second Associate Degree

An associate degree may be conferred as a second degree when the first degree is either a baccalaureate or another associate degree, subject to these provisions:

• The second associate degree must be in a different discipline from the first degree.

• Students must complete at least 15 credit hours in residence (excluding credit by examination) beyond their first degree.
• Only credit earned at UA Little Rock after completing the first degree will normally apply toward the second degree. However, students in their final semester of studies toward the first degree may complete the course load for that semester with courses applicable to the second degree. Students must file a written statement of their intent to seek a second degree with the Office of Records and Registration at the time of registration.
• A major must be completed. Courses completed within the previous degree that satisfy requirements for the second major may be accepted as satisfying course requirements, but not as hours toward the second degree. These hours do not count as part of the 30, except as specified in Item 3 above.
• The core curriculum component in the second associate degree is not required. However, if not taken as a part of another baccalaureate degree, a course in United States History or Government (HIST 21103, HIST 21203, or PLSC 20003) must be completed. See "Policy 503.3 – General Education Requirements for Baccalaureate and Associate Degrees – U.S. Traditions: United States History or Government Requirement."

Post-Baccalaureate Students

Second Baccalaureate Degree

All students who have received a bachelor's degree from an institutionally or regionally accredited institution, including UA Little Rock graduates, and who wish to pursue an additional undergraduate degree or certificate at UA Little Rock are required to apply for undergraduate admission to the university by the published deadline. After all admission requirements have been met, these students will be admitted into Post-baccalaureate status. This policy also applies to International students who received an equivalent degree (as determined by UA Little Rock) from an institution outside the U.S. and who wish to pursue a 2nd undergraduate degree at UA Little Rock.

Additional baccalaureate degree(s) may be conferred subject to these provisions:

• Students must complete at least 30 credit hours in residence, including courses completed previously at UA Little Rock, but excluding transfer credit, credit-by-examination, experiential credit, and repeated courses.
• All program requirements must be completed for each additional baccalaureate degree. Courses completed within the previous degree(s) that satisfy requirements for the additional program(s) may be accepted as satisfying program requirements for the additional degree(s), subject to approval by the program faculty.
• A minor is not required for additional baccalaureate degrees.
• If not taken as a part of another baccalaureate degree, a course in United States History or Government (HIST 21103, HIST 21203, or PLSC 20003) must be completed, see "Policy 503.3 General Education Requirements for Baccalaureate and Associate Degrees – U.S. Traditions: United States History or Government Requirement." However, other general education requirements do not apply to additional baccalaureate degrees.

(Academic majors and colleges may specify additional and/or more restrictive requirements. There is no second language proficiency requirement for students seeking additional baccalaureate degrees).

Prior Learning Assessment Programs and Policies

UA Little Rock recognizes several methods for earning university credit for undergraduate and graduate-level learning, including rigorous high school curricula, professional or military experience, professional licensures and certifications, and work experiences. To receive university credit, these competencies must undergo systematic evaluation against established program or course learning outcomes. *

A student may earn a maximum of 50% of program degree requirements through PLA (excluding the General Education Core), however, some academic programs may enforce a lower maximum for PLA credits. The PLA credit awarded for a specific program of study may not be recognized should the student change majors, programs, or transfer to another

institution. Portfolio and licensure credit may not be applied to the General Education Core. Finally, PLA credit may not be awarded for senior theses or projects, thesis hours, dissertation hours, field research, or field professional experience hours. To be eligible for PLA, the student must be currently admitted and/or enrolled in the university and good standing. All PLA credits must be awarded before the student's last semester before graduation. Prior learning credits will be noted on the student's transcript as having been awarded through PLA. Credit through PLA is not recorded as grades on the student's transcript and does not affect the student's GPA.

*Graduate programs will specify if they will accept PLA, what forms of PLA they will accept, and the maximum percentage or number of hours they will accept.

Further restrictions on PLA credit:

• Credit through PLA cannot replace a failing grade;
• Credit may only be awarded for courses applicable to the student's declared degree plan;
• A student may not receive credit twice for a course that has been awarded through PLA;
• PLA credits do not count toward the residency requirement for the student's degree program;
• PLA credits do not satisfy eligibility requirements for financial aid or loan deferment.

For information on Undergraduate degree programs that consider PLA credit, please contact the following departments:

Bachelor in Applied Science: 501.916.3296 or lfscivally@ualr.edu

Computer Science and Cybersecurity: 501.916.3130 Construction Management: 501.916.3133 Criminal Justice: 501.916.3195 Information Sciences: 501.916.3951 Word Languages: 501.916.3272

For information on Graduate degree programs that consider PLA credit, please contact the Graduate School at 501.916.3206, or via email at gradschool@ualr.edu.

Test Score Placement Guide and Course Eligibility Standards

Test scores on the ACT, SAT, and Accuplacer serve two purposes. The first is to serve as criteria for admission, and the second is to help decide the placement of students into the appropriate courses. The most current information for course eligibility standards and developmental course options can be found on our Testing Services webpage located at ualr.edu/testing.

Regulations

These provisions apply to baccalaureate degrees:

• Hours earned as credit by examination are counted as hours toward graduation but are not counted as hours in residence. See "Policy 503.5 – Credit by Examination."

• A student may elect to graduate under the provisions of the UA Little Rock Undergraduate Catalog in effect during any semester in residence at UA Little Rock before qualifying for a degree. Students who interrupt their enrollment at UA Little Rock for more than five consecutive calendar years must use the catalog current at the time of readmission or later. A student transferring to UA Little Rock from institutionally or regionally accredited four-year institutions, community colleges, or junior colleges with 13 or more hours of accepted credit may graduate under the provisions of a UA Little Rock Undergraduate Catalog in effect during any semester of the previous five years in which they were enrolled at the other institution. Note: At no time may a student follow the provisions of a UA Little Rock Undergraduate Catalog that is more than five years old at the time of the student's entry into UA Little Rock.

• A student enrolled at UA Little Rock who intends to enroll concurrently or a transient student at another institutionally or regionally accredited institution should obtain advance approval.

• A senior may participate in commencement exercises before the completion of all degree requirements if the student has:
• o A cumulative 2.0 grade-point average on all work attempted at UA Little Rock.
• o A cumulative 2.0 grade-point average in the academic major and the academic minor.
• o No more than nine hours remaining to complete degree requirements.
• o Submitted a graduation application following prescribed procedures. See "Graduation Procedure" in the UA Little Rock Undergraduate Catalog.

(Academic majors and colleges may specify more restrictive requirements that supersede these regulations and are detailed in the academic section of the catalog.)

Policy 507.1 – Baccalaureate and Associate Degree Requirements, July 1, 2020.

Commencement Participation

A senior may participate in commencement exercises before the completion of all degree requirements if the student has achieved the following:

• A cumulative 2.0 grade-point average on all work attempted at UA Little Rock.
• A cumulative 2.0 Grade point in the academic major and the academic minor.
• No more than nine hours remaining to complete degree requirements.
• Submitted a graduation application following prescribed procedures. See "Graduation."

Academic Adjustment

In compliance with federal regulations, it is the policy of UA Little Rock to respond to student requests for course accommodation, substitution, and other adjustments because of a documented disability on an individual basis and in a manner that does not result in discrimination. Where requests are complex and not easily handled through the regular course substitution procedures, an established committee will review the case and decide.

Students who wish to request academic adjustments because of a disability should consult the academic adjustment procedures, which are printed in the UA Little Rock Student Handbook, or contact Disability Resource Center at (501) 916- 3143.

The syllabus for each UA Little Rock course should include the following statement:

Students with Disabilities: Your success in this class is important to me, and it is the policy and practice of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock to create inclusive learning environments consistent with federal and state law. If you have a documented disability (or need to have a disability documented) and require accommodation, please contact me privately as soon as possible, so that we can discuss with the Disability Resource Center (DRC) how to meet your specific needs and the requirements of the course. The DRC offers resources and coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations are established through an interactive process among you, your instructor(s), and the DRC. Thus, if you have a disability, please contact me and/or the DRC, at 501.916.3143 (V/TTY) or 501.246.8296 (VP). For more information, go to ualr.edu/disability.

Academic Dishonesty

The student has the right to attend classes until the appeal is resolved. The student may not withdraw from a course while an allegation of academic dishonesty in that course is being adjudicated. If the student withdraws from a course after

receiving notification of an allegation of academic dishonesty; the student will be reinstated, pending final adjudication of the allegation.

After the adjudication process:

• If academic dishonesty is found, a grade of "F" in the course is assigned, then the failing grade will be recorded and remain on the student's transcript.
• If academic dishonesty is found, and a penalty less than a grade of "F" for the course is assigned, then the student may continue in the course or withdraw from the course at that time.
• If academic dishonesty is not found, the student may continue in the course or withdraw from the course at that time.
• If the adjudication process is not completed before the end of the semester, a temporary grade not affecting the student's GPA will be submitted until the adjudication process is completed.

The student may retake a course in which a grade of "F" is assigned as a penalty for academic dishonesty. However, in such cases, the original grade of "F" will not be replaced but instead, be included in the calculation of the student's cumulative GPA along with the subsequent grade received.

Academic Hours

UA Little Rock students are encouraged to spend sufficient time outside of classes to master the subject content of their courses. Academic working hours include the time spent in classes as well as the time spent outside of classes on homework. The number of academic working hours can vary widely from student to student, depending on the preparation and ability of the student, the norms of different academic disciplines, and the expectations of individual faculty members.

However, an average academic workload can be estimated from the general thumb rule that at least two hours of homework per hour of classes are necessary for an average student to master subject content with average ('C') grades.

Thus, the minimum number of academic working hours per week can be estimated by multiplying total credit hours by a factor of three. For example, a full-time student taking 15 credit hours should plan to spend at least 45 academic working hours per week attending classes and doing homework, e.g., reading, writing, studying, etc. Mastering the subject content of courses with above-average ('B') or superior ('A') grades may require more time and effort. Finally, since mastery of subject content is the goal, no amount of study time can guarantee academic success–course grades and course credits are awarded for mastery of subject content, not time on task.

Academic Offenses

The most common offenses subject to grade penalty and/or disciplinary action are:

• Cheating on an examination or quiz: To give or receive, to offer or solicit information on any quiz or examination including (a) copying from another student's paper; (b) using prepared materials, notes, or texts other than those specifically permitted by the professor during an examination; (c) collaborating with another student during an examination; (d) buying, selling, stealing, soliciting, or transmitting an examination, or any material purported to be the unreleased content of an upcoming examination or the use of such material; (e) substituting for another person during an examination or allowing such substitution for oneself; (1) bribing a person to obtain examination information.
• Plagiarism: To adopt and reproduce as one's own, to appropriate for one's use and incorporate in one's work without acknowledgment, the ideas of others or passages from their writings and works.
• Collusion: To obtain from another party, without specific approval in advance by the professor, assistance in the production of work offered for credit to the extent that the work reflects the ideas or skills of the party consulted rather than those of the person in whose name the work is submitted.

• Duplicity: To offer for credit previously submitted work in two or more courses, without specific advance approval of the professors involved.

The university has developed certain regulations to make possible an orderly academic environment where all members of the community have the freedom to develop to the fullest extent.

Academic dishonesty cannot be condoned or tolerated in the university community. Such behavior is considered a student conduct violation and students found responsible for committing an academic offense on the campus, or in connection with an institution-related or sponsored activity, or while representing the university or academic department, will be disciplined by the university.

Policy 501.13 – Academic Integrity and Grievance, November 1, 2024.

Academic Probation and Suspension

Students will be placed on academic probation at the end of the semester if their cumulative grade point average (GPA) drops below 2.0. Students on academic probation cannot enroll for more than 13 credit hours each semester. Students will continue on academic probation for as long as their cumulative GPA continues to remain below 2.0.

Students on probation or suspension must see their academic advisor. Additional campus services are offered to assist students in returning to good academic standing. Success Coaches and Student Support Specialists help students enhance academic skills such as note-taking, study habits, and test-taking strategies. They also help students address social/emotional/life challenges that may impact their academic success. Students should schedule a coaching or student support meeting by requesting an appointment at Student Success. Student-athletes on academic probation must report to their Academic Advisor or their coaching staff member in Athletics. Non-Degree Seeking Students are exempt from this requirement.

Suspension (From UA Little Rock)

Suspension occurs after the third successive semester of academic probation where the cumulative GPA and semester GPA is below 2.0. Students who have finished their academic suspension are required to contact the Office of Records and Registration for information on how to have their suspension lifted. These returning students will be placed on academic probation with enrollment restriction which limits them to enrollment in a maximum of 13 credit hours. In addition, this status of academic probation after suspension status requires that the students achieve a semester GPA of 2.0 or greater for each term until the student's cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. Failure to achieve a semester GPA of 2.0 or greater while in this probationary status will result in an academic suspension for two full semesters. Students will remain in this probationary status until their cumulative GPA rises above 2.0. Both International Freshmen and International Transfer Students on academic suspension must report to the Office of International Student Services so they can be informed of their options regarding their immigration status.

Students needing fewer than 18 credit hours to complete all academic requirements for graduation may request an exemption to the enrollment restriction from their academic advisor or department chairperson. If this request is approved, the Office of Records and Registration will need to be notified by the department so that the student's record can be adjusted. Denial of this request may be appealed to the dean of the college and the provost.

Students admitted to the university with academic deficiencies will be limited to a maximum enrollment of 13 credit hours each semester. When such a student achieves both a semester and cumulative GPA of 2.0, the enrollment restriction will be removed. If the student fails to obtain the required semester or cumulative GPA, then the student will be placed on academic probation. Such students will not be subject to academic suspension until the end of the third semester unless they were admitted on a single-semester contract basis.

A student suspended from UA Little Rock who earns academic credit from another institutionally or regionally accredited college or university during the period of suspension may receive credit for the course at UA Little Rock when readmitted if the course is transferable.

Suspension (from an Institution Other than UA Little Rock)

A student under their first academic suspension from an institutionally or regionally accredited college or university may be admitted to UA Little Rock and allowed to enroll in a probationary status. The student may enroll for a maximum of 3 hours (Summer) or 7 hours (Spring and Fall) and must attain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Failure to attain the minimum 2.0 GPA in the first semester will result in a suspension from UA Little Rock.

Advanced Placement Program

Advanced Placement (AP) examinations are administered by selected secondary schools. Students who take AP exams should have official score reports sent directly to the Office of Testing Services for evaluation. You may also contact the College Board at (888) 225-5427 to request scores be released to UA Little Rock. The school code for UA Little Rock is 6368.

A list of AP course eligibility, exemption, or credit by score may be found on the Testing Services and Student Life Research website.

Attendance Requirements

Each faculty member has the prerogative of setting specific attendance requirements for classes. In some courses, active student participation is an integral part of the course, and the instructor may base a portion of the student's grades on attendance and participation. In general, students are expected to attend class regularly. Students who miss class are responsible for finding out about the material covered, homework assignments, and any announcements or examinations.

On the 10th day of classes, students who have not attended class will be administratively withdrawn by the instructor. Students may be administratively withdrawn from a class by the instructor for excessive absences during the semester.

Auditing a Course

A student who may enroll in a course but not participate in the formal assignments of the class nor receive a grade or credit. Enrollment is entered on the student's permanent record. Criteria to receive the audit grade may be set forth by the instructor of the course. Auditing is subject to the professor's approval and the payment of the applicable fees. Auditors may not change their registration to credit after the deadline listed in the Academic Calendar, which is normally the end of the registration period.

Changes in Enrollment (Course Drop Dates)

A student can drop a course up to the 5th day of classes through the schedule change process. Dropping a course in this period will not result in a record of the drop on the student's transcript. From the 6th day through the 41st day of classes, a student wishing to drop a class must follow the course drop process as found on the Office of Records and Registration website. Courses cannot be dropped after the 41st day of classes. The cutoff dates in this paragraph refer to the day of classes in a 15-week semester (five days equals one week). In shorter semesters the cut-off dates will be adjusted proportionately. See the Academic Calendar for course drop dates.

Clemency

Any undergraduate student who has previously attended UA Little Rock or its predecessor institutions (Little Rock Junior College or Little Rock University) and whose attendance at UA Little Rock or any institution of higher education has been interrupted for at least two years may qualify to request academic clemency providing he or she meets all of the criteria specified below. Under this policy, a student may apply to have grades and credits earned at UA Little Rock previous to the separation removed from his or her grade point average. Approval of a request for clemency requires the signature of the student's advisor and the provost.

After re‐entering UA Little Rock following a separation of at least two years from any institution of higher education, a student may request academic clemency at the Office of Records and Registration. The student shall specify the term(s) for which clemency is desired. The request will be forwarded, along with appropriate permanent record information, to the student's advisor for approval. The advisor shall forward the request to the provost.

Clemency shall cover all credits earned during the term(s) for which clemency is requested. A student who requests and receives academic clemency remains eligible to graduate with honors under the Honors policy (501.7). The student's complete record will remain on the transcript with the added notation of academic clemency received.

Any petition for academic clemency must be requested and granted before the awarding of a degree. Once the degree is awarded, the record is closed and the academic clemency policy cannot be invoked.

Academic clemency may be approved only once. For purposes of degree requirements, a student who receives clemency must follow the provisions of the Undergraduate Catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment.

Consortium Agreements

UA Little Rock participates in an online consortium through Acadeum that offers online courses through consortia partnerships for students to enroll in for University credit. Upon advising students to take these courses, the program faculty and the Provost's Office will approve these courses. Acadeum courses are listed on the UA Little Rock transcript as UA Little Rock's courses and are included in attempted hours, earned hours, and grade point averages. Once enrolled, students in courses hosted by a partner institution will be contacted directly by the host school through their UA Little Rock email address. Students are required to meet all requirements as outlined by the host school and will be required to meet all add/drop and withdrawal dates published by the host school for each Acadeum course. Tuition for Acadeum courses will be assessed based on the University tuition rates and financial policies for the term in which the student is enrolled.

Course Load and Enrollment Limits

UA Little Rock must define enrollment statuses by the mandate of the U.S. Department of Education. These definitions are used to determine eligibility for financial aid and scholarships and are used consistently throughout the campus.

• A full-time undergraduate student must be enrolled for a minimum of 12 credit hours a semester. (Note: Some scholarships may require additional hours.)
• A three-quarter-time undergraduate student must be enrolled in 9 to 11 hours a semester.
• A half-time undergraduate student must be enrolled in 6, 7, or 8 hours a semester.

Undergraduate summer semester enrollment hours include hours from all summer terms. The full-time, three-quarter, and half-time enrollments are the same as the fall or spring semesters. Course load definitions for graduate students are different and can be found in the UA Little Rock Graduate Catalog.

A student may not enroll for more than 18 credit hours in a regular semester (Fall or Spring) or more than 7 credit hours in a five-week Summer term without the prior permission of the person who approves his or her degree plan.

Please see the "Academic Hours" section for an expectation of hours spent out of the classroom.

Courses Taken at Other Colleges and Universities

Students may choose to enroll at another college or institution that is institutionally or regionally accredited as recognized by the US Department of Education while attending UA Little Rock. To ensure that the credit for coursework to be taken elsewhere meets UA Little Rock degree program requirements, students should contact the Office of Transfer Student Services if the course is to count toward core requirements and contact their major advisor and minor program coordinator if the course is to count toward major or minor requirements. This should be done before taking the coursework.

Credit by Examination

UA Little Rock offers students the opportunity to obtain credit through examinations in certain courses. There are currently six sources of examination credit:

• Departmental Examination Program (DEP)
• College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
• Excelsior College Examinations (formerly Regents College and ACT-PEP)
• Advanced Placement Program (AP)
• Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES)
• International Baccalaureate (IB)

All tests conform to these general regulations:

• Students who successfully test out of a course shall receive credit hours for that course with a credit grade (CR) but no grade points.
• The examination shall be administered at least once per semester and in such a manner as to facilitate access for the student.
• Departmental tests and CLEP subject examinations are administered at UA Little Rock. Excelsior College Examinations are computer-based tests administered at Pearson VUE Testing Centers. Any prospective, currently enrolled, or continuing student may take these tests.

Students who take CLEP, AP, DANT, ES, IB, or Excelsior College Examinations should have official score reports sent directly to the Office of Testing Services for evaluation. Credit obtained through examination is recorded as approved hours on the student's official, permanent record without grade or grade points after the student has been enrolled at UA Little Rock for one semester. Additional information may be obtained from Testing Services by calling (501) 916-3198 or at ualr.edu/testing.

Developmental Courses

If a student does not meet the minimum score for eligibility in math, composition, and/or reading, that student must be enrolled in a developmental course to gain the skills necessary to be successful in those classes. The developmental courses at UA Little Rock are MATH 0321 Pre-Core Mathematics I, ENGL 03103 - (was RHET 0310) Writing and Reading Strategies, and ENGL 03203 - (was RHET 0321) Academic Literacy. The university admission policy requires that all developmental courses be completed during a student's first 42 hours of coursework.

Students may not take any developmental course at UA Little Rock more than twice. A student is considered to have taken a developmental course if he or she receives a grade of NC or W for the course. Students who have failed to pass a particular developmental course twice should speak to their advisors or the department offering the course to explore other options for covering the material. A student is not considered to have taken a developmental course if he or she has been granted academic clemency since that time.

Developmental Courses and GPA

Grades from developmental courses will not be computed into a student's official grade point average (GPA). Credit hours earned from developmental courses do not count towards the minimum required for the student's degree.

Final Examinations

Final examinations must be taken at the time scheduled. Makeup examinations may be given to students who, because of unforeseeable circumstances involving illness, accident, or serious family emergency, were unable to take the regular examination. Such exams will be given only with the approval of the instructor and the department chairperson.

Grade Changes

All grade changes must be approved by the department chairperson under whose jurisdiction the course was taught. Forms for securing that approval are available in the departmental offices. Grades cannot be changed after a student graduates from UA Little Rock.

A final course grade may not be changed based on a second final examination or additional course work undertaken or completed after a student's final course grade has been reported by the instructor to the Office of Records and Registration.

Students at UA Little Rock have the right to appeal any grade that they feel was undeserved. The formal process through which a student can appeal a decision on a final grade is described in detail in the "Grade Appeals" section of the UA Little Rock Student Handbook, which is available in the Office of Educational and Student Services, Dean of Students.

Grades and Grading System

Grade reports are made available online to each student at the end of each semester in residence by accessing Workday. If written confirmation is needed, contact the Office of Records and Registration.

Permanent letter grades	Point Values
A – Superior work	4
B – Good work, above average	3
C – Average work	2
D – Passing work, below average	1
F – Failing work	0
I – Incomplete
CR – Credit
NC – No credit
IP – In progress (Graduate Only)

Administrative Symbols:

AU Audit MG Missing grade W Withdrawal

Students may take one course each semester on a "CR/NC" basis with instructor approval arranged at the time of registration. The selection of courses is limited to electives. Courses in which a department requires "CR/NC" grading are not included in this limitation.

The designation of "I" or incomplete, is appropriate where the instructor deems that circumstances beyond the student's control prevented the timely completion of course requirements. The designation normally is given by the instructor only after consultation with the student and after the student has been informed in writing; additionally, a copy of the written notice is filed with the department chairperson regarding the work to be completed and the completion date.

The work must be completed and the "I" converted by the instructor to the appropriate grade within 90 days for undergraduate courses and within one year for graduate courses from the time the "I" was recorded. Failure to do so will result in the "I" being administratively changed to an "F."

A request to extend the deadline to complete an "I" must be completed by the instructor and forwarded to the Office of Records and Registration before the 90-day expiration date. The request must include a specific date by which all coursework will be completed.

Graduation Process

Students must apply for fall, spring, or summer terms to be considered for graduation for that term. Refer to the Academic Calendar for exact dates. If the student does not meet the original expected term graduation date, he or she must reapply.

To be included in the Fall or Spring Commencement Program, all fall or spring applicants must submit their application online through Workday Student.

Program printing deadlines will not enable the University to include the names of students submitting applications after the deadline. Please refer to Workday Student for more information.

Students pursuing a double major must submit two graduation applications.

Graduation Term

To be awarded a degree in the term of graduation, a student must complete all requirements and obligations no later than the date grades are due as listed in the Academic Calendar. This includes but is not limited to grades of "I," "MG," and "IP." Students failing to meet this deadline must reapply for graduation and will be awarded their UA Little Rock degree the following term, provided all requirements have been met.

Honors

Chancellor's and Dean's List

Names of undergraduate students whose academic performances have been superior are recorded on the Chancellor's and the Dean's Lists. This recognition is also noted on the student's grade report and official transcripts. This status will be granted at the end of each semester in which the following qualifications have been met:

Chancellor's List:

• At least nine hours for credit with a grade of A, B, C, or CR
• At least a 3.9 grade-point average for the semester

Departmental Honors

Several departments at UA Little Rock offer honors programs to exceptional students. Admission to an honors program is generally tied to the student's grade point average and year standing and may require nomination by a faculty member. Such programs are distinct from graduation with honors; in addition to meeting and maintaining a certain grade-point average, qualifying students also take a special curriculum in the major. Requirements may include advanced study, seminars, or a research project and presentation. Departmental honors are posted on the student's academic transcript at graduation. Contact individual departments for more information.

Graduation Honors

To qualify for graduation honors, a student must have completed a minimum of 60 hours in residence at UA Little Rock. Graduation honors are calculated on all academic work completed in UA Little Rock credit-bearing courses. For repeated courses, only the grade from the final iteration of the course will be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average for determining graduation honors. All work completed at all other institutions, whether accepted as transfer credit at UA Little Rock or not, will not be included in the final calculation of honors (except as noted below).

The bachelor's degree with honors will be conferred upon candidates who graduate and earn a minimum cumulative grade point on all credit courses taken at UA Little Rock as follows:

• Summa cum laude: minimum grade point average of 3.90
• Magna cum laude: minimum grade point average of 3.70
• Cum laude: minimum grade point average of 3.50

Students who do not complete the minimum of 60 hours in residence at UA Little Rock may request, in writing, that all work completed at all other institutions, whether accepted as transfer credit at UA Little Rock or not, be used in the final calculation of honors. Requests can be sent to the Records office via email at records@ualr.edu. For repeated courses at other institutions, only the grade from the final iteration of the course will be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average for determining graduation honors. Some courses from institutions outside of the U.S. are calculated in the admissions process on a pass/not pass basis. For a student to be considered for honors, all credentials from institutions outside of the U.S. must be evaluated to determine an A, B, or C equivalency.

Students granted academic clemency are still eligible to qualify for graduation honors, but they must complete a minimum of 60 hours in residence at UA Little Rock, not including the hours for which clemency was granted.

The associate degree with honors will be conferred upon candidates who have completed a minimum of 30 hours in residence at UA Little Rock and graduated earned a minimum cumulative grade point of 3.7 on all academic work completed in UA Little Rock credit-bearing courses. The recipient must have met all requirements for graduation with an associate degree and must not have completed more than 83 credit hours. Students who are granted academic clemency are still eligible to receive an associate degree with honors, but they must complete a minimum of 30 hours in residence at UA Little Rock, not including the hours for which clemency was granted.

A student who has earned a baccalaureate degree from UA Little Rock and is pursuing a second baccalaureate degree at UA Little Rock is granted graduation honors based on the credit hours earned after the posting of the first degree. If fewer than 30 credit hours are completed at UA Little Rock after completion of the first UA Little Rock degree, the level of

graduation honors can be no higher than that obtained on the first degree. If 30 or more credit hours are completed at UA Little Rock after completion of the first UA Little Rock degree, the level of graduation honors on the second degree is based on the cumulative grade point average on coursework after the first degree.

Students who graduate from another college or university and pursue a second undergraduate degree at UA Little Rock must complete a minimum of 30 hours in residence at UA Little Rock to be eligible for honors. Graduation honors on the second degree are based on the cumulative grade point average on all UA Little Rock coursework after the first degree.

University and departmental honors (but not awards) may be posted on the academic transcript.

For more information, visit the Academic Honors Policy.

Repeated Courses

If an undergraduate student repeats a course for credit, only the last grade will be computed into the cumulative grade point average. (The earlier grade will remain on the transcript with an "E" indicating exclusion from the grade point average.)

If there have been any changes in course numbers or titles, the student must first obtain the approval of the chairperson of the department offering the course to be assured it is an identical course.

Once a degree has been awarded, repeated courses will not be accepted.

Transfer Student Services

Charles W. Donaldson Student Services Center, Suite 218 | 501-916-3273 | fax: 501-916-3168 | ualr.edu/transfer

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock welcomes transfer students and is committed to making their transition to campus and transfer of credit a smooth process. The Office of Transfer Student Services (OTSS) was established to expedite the articulation of general transfer credit and provide dynamic student service to meet the transfer credit evaluation needs of transfer students. Our main goal is to make transferring to UA Little Rock easier for students to accomplish and the transfer process easier to understand. We provide a friendly starting place for transfer students to connect with essential information and resources.

IMPORTANT NOTE: UA Little Rock cannot accurately evaluate transfer hours, advise, release financial aid funding for which students may be eligible, or guarantee registration in degree-appropriate courses until ALL final admission credentials have been received and processed. Students may receive an unofficial evaluation of general core curriculum transfer credits before admission to UA Little Rock by requesting an evaluation from the Office of Transfer Students Services (OTSS) online. Unofficial evaluations require the submission of transcripts to OTSS.

Transferring Credit to UA Little Rock

Credit can be transferred to UA Little Rock in a variety of ways, but please be aware that UA Little Rock does not accept the following types of credits:

• Remedial/developmental/study skill courses. (These course(s) are posted to the UA Little Rock transcript but no credit hours are transferred.)
• Courses marked "in progress."
• Courses from post-secondary institutions that do not have accredited or candidacy status in an institutionally or regionally accrediting association.
• Courses designated as credit/no credit, pass/fail, audit, or satisfactory.

Earlier attempts of a course repeated at a transfer college or university (for courses not otherwise designated as repeatable courses). Only the credit hours earned on the latest attempted course will transfer.

Transfer Credit Policies

Only credit hours earned at other institutionally or regionally accredited institutions will transfer and be posted on the UALR transcript. Grades and GPA do not transfer and are not calculated in the student's GPA earned at UALR. However, all grades from all prior post-secondary institutions are calculated for awarding graduation honors.

"D" Transfer Policy

Only courses with grades of C or greater will transfer automatically; however, a student may request to transfer as many as 6 credit hours with a grade of D from any institutionally or regionally accredited college or university. Credit for the hours will be accepted as transfer credit if the course satisfies a degree program requirement and if the student would be allowed to earn a grade of "D" if the class was offered at UA Little Rock. A student may request a D credit transfer via the Non-Standard Credit Request form at any time before the awarding of an undergraduate degree. For more information on the transfer of D grades, please see UA Little Rock Policy 501.10.

Limitations on Transfer Credit

There is no limit on the number of credits that a student may transfer to UA Little Rock, but students graduating with fouryear degrees (baccalaureate) must earn 30 hours in residence at UA Little Rock.

Students graduating with two-year degrees (associate) must earn 15 hours of credit in residence at UA Little Rock. Please note that some degree programs may have restrictions on the number of upper-level courses that may be used to satisfy major or minor program requirements. For certain degree programs, some credits may not be applied to satisfy a degree requirement due to when the course was earned or content changes over time.

Transfer Students and Undergraduate Catalog Choice

Transfer Students may choose to follow the requirements of an older undergraduate catalog of requirements at UA Little Rock. A student transferring to UA Little Rock from institutionally or regionally accredited four-year institutions, community colleges, or junior colleges with 13 or more hours of accepted credit may graduate under the provisions of a UA Little Rock Undergraduate Catalog in effect during any semester of the previous five years in which they were enrolled at the other institution.

Note: At no time may a student follow the provisions of a UA Little Rock Undergraduate Catalog that is more than five years old at the time of the student's entry into UA Little Rock.

Accreditation Requirements

UA Little Rock recognizes academic credits earned at other institutionally or regionally accredited post-secondary institutions

Transcripts from institutions not accredited by the institutional or regional accrediting associations will be handled at the discretion of the Registrar. Students presenting such transcripts may appeal for consideration of credit transfer to the Registrar. Only official transcripts including complete records of the courses taken and sent to UA Little Rock by the institution(s) attended will be accepted for evaluation. The Registrar may also request that a course description or syllabus be presented.

Core Transfer Reciprocity Policy

• 1. Transfer students from public Arkansas institutions shall be deemed to have met all UA Little Rock core requirements and shall not be required to complete any additional core courses if they transfer in a completed designated transfer degree (an AA, AS, or AAT) or 60 completed hours that include 35 hours of the state minimum core.
• 1. Transfer students from public Arkansas institutions shall be deemed to have met a specific core requirement and shall not be required to complete an additional core course for that requirement if they transfer in a course included in the Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) that matches a course in the UA Little Rock core.
• 1. Transfer students from public Arkansas institutions, including students transferring between UA Little Rock colleges, shall be deemed to have met the requirements of a specific core curricular area and shall not be required to complete an additional core course in that area if they transfer to a course taken to meet a core curricular area requirement at the sending institution or UA Little Rock college.
• 1. Transfer students from institutionally or regionally accredited out-of-state or private institutions, including those transferring in completed associate degrees, who have completed 35 credit hours of coursework in the following distribution shall be deemed to have met the core requirement in that core curricular area and shall only be required to take coursework from the area(s) they are missing:

• 1. "Core curricular area" refers to one of the five categories established in the State Minimum Core Curriculum by Act 98 of 1989: English/Communications, Math, Science, Fine Arts/Humanities, and Social Sciences.
• 1. This policy shall not keep individual programs from requiring students to complete specific core courses as (1) degree program requirements, (2) prerequisites for degree program requirements, or (3) licensing requirements.

Special Transfer Credit

Transferring Credit by Examination

Students who take CLEP, AP, DANTES, International Baccalaureate, and Excelsior College Examinations must have official score reports sent directly to the UA Little Rock Office of Testing Services for evaluation. Credit obtained through examination is recorded as approved hours on the student's official transcript without a grade. Course credit from examinations will not count toward residency requirements or GPA calculation. A maximum of 30 hours may be awarded for all forms of Credit by Examination. Because there are a variety of ways whereby a student may achieve credit for a specific course (for instance (IB, AP, CLEP, placement test, concurrent, transfer course, UA Little Rock course) under no circumstances should a student receive multiple credits for the same course. Additional information may be obtained from Testing Services by calling (501) 916-3198 or on the Testing Services website.

Transferring Military Service Credit

Via a unanimous vote in 2008, the Faculty Senate approved accepting military credit certified by ACE as equivalent to college-level courses for transfer to UA Little Rock. Official transcripts must be provided for evaluation and should be requested based on the branch of service (Joint Services Transcript). Military transcripts should be submitted to UA Little Rock's Office of Admission, which after document imaging, will be forwarded to the Office of Transfer Services to evaluate for the awarding of potential core academic credit. Please note that UA Little Rock does not automatically transfer military credits based on evaluations by other universities. Students should meet with their major degree program advisor to review the application of military service credits for meeting degree program requirements.

Transferring Technical and/or Vocational Credit

UA Little Rock does not automatically transfer technical and/or vocational credits from other universities. Students with technical and/or vocational credits who would like this credit considered for application toward a specific degree program may consult with their departmental advisor after officially declaring a major. Any transfer of technical and/or vocational credit requires the signature of a departmental advisor on a Request to Receive Credit for Technical and/or Military Credit form to be submitted to the Office of Records and Registration for processing.

Transferring International Credit

Students who have earned college-level credit at an international college or university should submit officially evaluated post-secondary school transcripts to the Office of Admissions (If obtained from a foreign institution, transcripts must be evaluated and translated by International Education Evaluations, Inc. (foreigntranscripts.com) or a NACES approved agencies (naces.org) with a document by document/course by course evaluation). International transfer students must meet additional admission requirements as detailed in the Office of Admissions portion of this catalog.

After international transfer credits are verified and posted to the UA Little Rock transcript, and once all admission credentials have been received and processed, the student's file will be forwarded to the Office of Transfer Student Services to

evaluate the application of Fordits. For international transfer credits to be articulated, the student must provide English translations of course descriptions to the Office of Transfer Student Services.

Transferring Occupational Programs Credit

UA Little Rock will accept up to 16 hours of lower-level undesignated elective credit for occupational programs from institutionally or regionally accredited institutions. Students to whom this might apply should consult with their major degree program advisor to see if this is an option for them, and submit transcripts to the Office of Records and Registration (501) 916-3110. An evaluation of credit will not be made until after a student is enrolled at UA Little Rock.

Transferring Credit after Enrollment at UA Little Rock

UA Little Rock students may choose to enroll at another institutionally or regionally accredited institution while attending or intending to return to UA Little Rock as degree-seeking students. To ensure that the credit received elsewhere meets UA Little Rock degree program requirements, students are strongly advised to consult with their academic advisor (if declared majors) or if they intend to take core curriculum courses at another college or university before the declaration of a major, students should consult with the Office of Transfer Student Services at (501) 916-3273. International students should always consult with the Office of International Student Services before taking any courses offered by an institution other than UA Little Rock after they have enrolled at UA Little Rock.

Application of Transfer Credit to Degree Program Requirements

Transfer students must be academically advised before registering for classes. Visit UA Little Rock Advising to find an academic advisor. Students may potentially enroll in UA Little Rock courses before the final transcript credit articulation is completed. Transfer credit articulation is an ongoing process until all final transcripts have been submitted. Because transfer credit articulation impacts course placement and registration, transfer students with a provisional admission status may need registration overrides to register for certain courses. The process of transfer credit articulation can take several weeks to process after a student has been admitted to UA Little Rock

The Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) contains information about the transferability of courses within Arkansas public colleges and universities. Students are guaranteed the transfer of applicable credits and equitable treatment in the application of credits for admissions and degree requirements. Students may complete specified General Education courses anywhere in the public system as well as many courses in the degree/major that have been pre-identified for transfer. We hope this site is helpful for students, parents, and campus personnel. This system is designed to assist in planning from the high school level through the adult workforce.

The Transfer Equivalency Guide (TEG) for Arkansas and regional schools is available on the Records and Registration website and includes upper-level (junior and senior) courses that are not part of ACTS.

Note: If a particular institution of higher learning does not appear in the TEG, that does not mean that UA Little Rock will not accept coursework from that institution. Also, if an institution appears in the guide, but the particular course you are seeking is only listed as being accepted for general elective credit, please consult further with your academic advisor. One often misunderstood point is that a given course may be accepted toward the total hours required for a degree at UA Little Rock, but may not be accepted as meeting a specific course requirement of the core curriculum or for a major or minor.

• 1. Scholarships: gift aid with eligibility based on academic achievements, talents, skills, or merit.
• 1. Employment: part-time on-campus and community service jobs that allow the student to earn money to help pay for school.

The majority of the financial aid available at UA Little Rock is provided by the federal government. The State of Arkansas also provides student aid, as do UA Little Rock and its contributors.

Federal Aid

The U.S. Department of Education provides funding for grants, student loans, scholarships, and employment. Most awards are based on financial need while some are based on merit. Federal student aid includes the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students, Federal Graduate PLUS Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work Study, and various scholarship awards. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the application required for all federal financial aid and can be completed online at fafsa.gov. The UA Little Rock school code is 001101.

State Aid

The Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) provides loans, grants, and scholarships to Arkansas residents enrolled at UA Little Rock. Award criteria include financial need, academic achievement, and/or study of specific subjects. For additional information about financial aid, call ADHE at (800) 54-STUDY, or in the Little Rock area, (501) 371-2050, or visit www.adhe.edu. Programs like the Arkansas Academic Challenge (lottery) Scholarship require the YOUniversal application to be completed by June 1. Awards may be renewable and can be a great financial supplement.

Private Aid

UA Little Rock offers scholarships and grants-in-aid provided by institutional and departmental funds, private foundations, corporations, and individuals. Eligibility requirements vary. Criteria for different scholarships include academic achievement, demonstrated talent or ability, a specific major or student classification, university or community involvement, and/or financial need. Some scholarships are available for part-time students.

Different scholarships have different final deadlines. Learn more about scholarship opportunities at ualr.edu/scholarships. Scholarships may be awarded for academic merit, talent, or in support of your academic program of study. Students are encouraged to apply for the many funding opportunities.

Veterans Benefits

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs provides basic programs for veterans and service members seeking assistance for education or training. Veterans and service members who entered the military from January 1, 1977, through June 30, 1985, may receive educational assistance under the Veterans Educational Assistance Program (VEAP) contributory plan. Individuals entering while on active duty after June 30, 1985, may receive benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill® contributory plan. Another educational entitlement program, referred to as the Montgomery GI Bill® Selected Reserve (chapter 1606 and 1607 REAP), is available for members of the Selected Reserve, including the National Guard. Note: The Post 9/11 GI Bill® is a new education benefit program for individuals who served on active duty on or after September 11, 2001. Please visit the GI Bill® website or call 1-888-GIBILL-1 for additional information.

The noncontributory GI Bill® ended on December 31, 1989. No benefits are payable for any training pursued on or after January 1, 1990, under this bill.

Monthly educational assistance benefits are based on the number of hours of enrollment. Full-time enrollment for an undergraduate student during fall and spring terms is 12 hours or more, three-quarter enrollment is 9 to 11 hours, and halftime enrollment is 6 to 8 hours. For fewer than six hours only tuition and fees are reimbursed, except in the case of the MGIB for Selected Reserve/National Guard (Chapter 1606), these benefits are based on one-fourth of the full-time amount. Full-time enrollment for graduate students during fall and spring terms is 9 hours or more, three-quarters enrollment is 6 to 8 hours, and half-time enrollment is 3 to 5 hours. Summer benefits for both graduate and undergraduate students are based on the number of hours enrolled and the number of weeks in the term.

There are Survivors/Dependents benefits for eligible persons. For further information contact the VA Regional Office at (800) 827-1000.

Other services available under the Veteran's Affairs educational benefits include tutorial assistance, educational loans, and work-study.

Students classified as non-degree seeking or provisional may be eligible to receive Veteran's Education benefits for one semester.

All eligible persons wishing to apply for Veteran's Affairs educational benefits should contact the Office of Veterans Affairs at (501) 682-VETS (8387).

Scholarships for Freshmen

UA Little Rock offers several competitive scholarships. Chancellor's Leadership Corps Scholarships are awarded to freshmen who have demonstrated outstanding leadership capability in high school activities. Donaghey Scholars Honors Program Scholarships are most often awarded to high school seniors with exceptional academic promise.

EIT Scholar scholarships are awarded to outstanding entering students in Computer Science, Information Science, and Systems Engineering. EAST Scholarships are available to selected students who participated in the EAST Program in high school. Science Scholars is a scholarship and enrichment program for students majoring in biology, chemistry, and earth science.

Entering Freshman Scholarships are based on the availability of funds and are awarded to selected high school seniors who meet admission criteria as well as the required academic criteria for the scholarships. A Freshman Award may also be available to students with an ACT composite score of at least 20. There are also scholarships available to students transferring from Arkansas public junior and community colleges. Applications and further information for these scholarships are available online.

The Cashier's Office provides billing, receipting, and cashiering functions for student tuition and fees to assure accurate, timely, and effective service to students, as well as providing receipting and prepayment functions for the University departments. We also distribute payroll and accounts payable checks and request and disburse all travel advance checks. You can contact the Cashier's Office at (501) 916-5540 or cashiers@ualr.edu.

Refunds When Withdrawing from UA Little Rock

Students voluntarily withdrawing from UA Little Rock must complete the University Withdrawal Form to officially update their educational records. Those students receiving financial aid will need an exit interview with a staff member in the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships. The last day to officially withdraw from the University without a grade penalty is listed in the Academic Calendar. Students who fail to officially withdraw will be reported as having failed the coursework for the semester, and grades of F will appear on their official transcripts. Students who have questions about withdrawing should contact the Office of Records and Registration.

Any student who withdraws or drops before the first day of class will be refunded at 100%. Note: programs that have Board approved special refund policies will supersede this policy

Notes:

• 1. Non-attendance does not constitute a withdrawal.
• 1. An official withdrawal does not penalize or prevent a student from re-enrolling at a future date.

Students who officially withdraw from UA Little Rock (withdrawal from all classes) during a regular fall or spring semester are entitled to an adjustment of tuition and fees per the following schedule:

Semester	100%
Sixteen-week courses (Fall & Spring)	First through the tenth-class day
Ten to twelve-week courses	First through the tenth-class day
Seven to nine-week courses	First through the seventh-class day
Five or six-week courses	First through the fifth-class day
one to four-week courses	Prior to the start of classes

To avoid charges for a summer term, a registered student must officially withdraw from all classes before the first day of classes for that term. Students who reduce their course load by dropping one or more courses may or may not be entitled to a reduction in charges.

You may withdraw from the university in one of two ways:

• 1. Online or
• 1. In-person visit to the Records and Registration office on campus.

Whenever possible, students should submit the University Withdrawal Form online via our automated process.

If you are withdrawing in person you must come by the Office of Records and Registration with a photo ID and you will be guided through the online withdrawal form.

Tuition and Fee Adjustment schedules for current terms are available at ualr.edu/bursar/refunds.

Tax-Deductible Educational Expenses

The cost of college education expenses may be deductible on an individual's federal income tax return if classes are taken:

• To maintain or improve the skills required in the individual's trade or business, or required in performing a present job
• To meet the specific requirements of an employer or the requirements of the law for retention of present employment, salary, or status
• Such that the criteria for the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit are met

These credits can be applied to tax returns if the student meets the eligibility requirements.

This section should not be construed as tax advice. Students should consult a tax advisor or contact the local office of the Internal Revenue Service.

Acknowledgment of Financial Responsibility

Upon registering for classes, students will be required to acknowledge their financial responsibility, as follows:

• I understand that upon my registration, I have made a contractual financial obligation to pay all tuition and fees associated with any classes in which I register, unless I drop/withdraw by the tuition and fee adjustment schedule dates listed on the Bursar's website. "Not Attending" does not remove this obligation.
• I am responsible for reading and following the drop/withdrawal policy of the university, as posted on the Bursar's website.
• I understand I am responsible for tuition and fee charges for courses dropped outside of the Adjustment Schedule found on the Bursar's website.
• I authorize UA Little Rock to apply any financial aid I receive toward my account balance. If my aid is reduced or canceled, I understand that I will be fully responsible for all charges not covered by financial aid and am required to make payment arrangements. Failure to make payment arrangements will result in a hold on my account, and up to class selections being deleted.
• UA Little Rock's official method of correspondence with students, including billing, is via the UA Little Rock assigned email address. I accept my responsibility to access my UA Little Rock assigned email account regularly and to take any required action.
• I understand and agree that UA Little Rock will assess financial penalties on any past-due accounts. The penalties assessed are \$50 for each late payment. At semester end, I understand and agree that if I have a past due account, my account may be referred to an outside collection agency and result in additional charges that are up to 33% of the outstanding principal debt.

Please visit Collection Procedures for Student Receivables to review the collection procedures for student receivables. Further questions may be directed to the Bursar's Office at 501-916-3450.

Academic Advising

All degree-seeking undergraduate students are required to meet with an academic advisor before registering for classes. Regular contact with an academic advisor is essential to student success.

Based on their major, students are advised either in one of three college advising centers or in academic departments.

New Freshmen

New freshmen are contacted by a professional advisor to set an advising appointment.

New Transfer Students and Other New Students

New transfer students, new degree-seeking post-baccalaureate students, and students returning to UA Little Rock after not having enrolled for two years are contacted by one of the college's advising centers to be connected with an advisor.

Things to Know

The Academic Year

The academic year includes two regular semesters in the fall and spring, each with seven accelerated terms within the semester, and a summer semester with four terms. The unit of credit is the semester hour. This unit is defined as credit earned for the completion of one hour per week in class for one semester. Two hours or more of laboratory work per week for one term equals a one-semester hour of credit. UA Little Rock offers night and weekend courses, web-based courses, face-to-face, and hybrid courses on campus and at various off-campus locations.

About Online Registration

After you have been advised, the next step toward taking courses at UA Little Rock is to view the UA Little Rock Registration Guide and Class Search web pages.

The UA Little Rock Registration Guide and Class Search web pages contain information on the web registration process and list the courses that will be offered during specific semesters by course, time, location, and instructor. At the Office of Records and Registration website, you will also find the academic calendar, the final examination schedule, and deadlines for various activities, including course drops and withdrawals, during the semester.

Please be aware that students may not enroll for more than 18 credit hours in a regular semester (Fall or Spring) or more than seven credit hours in a five-week Summer term without the prior permission of the person who approves their degree plan.

Courses and programs are also offered through web-based delivery as well as at off-campus locations. Off-campus and online credit courses are identified by location in the UA Little Rock Registration Guide and Class Search.

During a full, 15-week semester or term, the usual three-credit-hour daytime course will meet for 50 minutes a day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or for 1 hour and 15 minutes on either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Some classes will meet on different time schedules, such as one three-hour session per week. All these options are part of UA Little Rock's effort to offer classes in times and places that suit the needs of all students, but it also means you have to read the UA Little Rock Class Search carefully.

Additional Things you need to know

Only credit hours earned at other institutions that have either regional or institutional accreditation as recognized by the US Department of Education will transfer and be posted on the UALR transcript. UA Little Rock will also transfer any courses from institutions with which we have a standing MOU. Grades and GPA do not transfer and are not calculated in the student's GPA earned at UA Little Rock.

IMPORTANT NOTE: UA Little Rock cannot accurately evaluate transfer hours, advise, release financial aid funding for which students may be eligible, or guarantee registration in degree-appropriate courses until ALL final admission credentials have been received and processed.

The Office of Records and Registration also offers online services for your convenience. You may drop or withdraw from classes by using our online form. You may submit your requests for an official transcript online as well. Please visit our website for more information about our processes, services, and important dates/deadlines.

Commencement

Commencement is the ceremony that recognizes students who apply and qualify for graduation. The graduation process is the review and awarding of degrees that occurs after commencement and final grades for the graduation application term.

Graduation Process

Students must apply for fall, spring, or summer terms to be considered for graduation for that term. Refer to the Academic Calendar for more information. If students do not meet the original expected term graduation date, they must reapply.

To be included in the Fall or Spring Commencement Program, all fall or spring (summer by spring deadline) applicants must submit their application online. The graduation application is completed in Workday Student.

NOTE: If you initially apply for Spring graduation and later determine you need to apply for Summer graduation, you must contact the Office of Records and Registration. The Spring application MUST be deactivated before a Summer application can be submitted.

Continue to review and update information on the application until you can apply.

NOTE: The application will ask if you are planning on attending the ceremony. Even if you list that you will be attending the ceremony, you will still need to keep watch in your UA Little Rock (@ualr.edu) email address for any updates or additional RSVP requirements that may be sent out.

Program printing deadlines will not enable the University to include the names of students submitting applications after the deadline. Please refer to our Apply to Graduate webpage for more information.

Students pursuing multiple majors must submit a graduation application for each major they finish in that term.

Graduation Term

To be awarded a degree in the term of graduation, a student must complete all requirements and obligations no later than the date grades are due as listed in the Academic Calendar. This includes but is not limited to grades of "I," "MG," and "IP." Students failing to meet this deadline must reapply for graduation and will be awarded their UA Little Rock degree the following term, provided all requirements have been met.

Honors

Chancellor's and Dean's List

Names of undergraduate students with superior academic performance are recorded on the Chancellor's and the Dean's Lists. This recognition is also noted on the student's grade report and official transcripts. This status will be granted at the end of each semester in which the following qualifications have been met:

Chancellor's List:

• At least nine hours for credit with a grade of A, B, C, or CR
• At least a 3.9 grade-point average for the semester
• No D, F, I, or NC grades on the semester grade report

Dean's List:

• At least nine hours for credit with a grade of A, B, C, or CR
• At least a 3.5 grade-point average for the semester
• No D, F, I, or NC grades on the semester grade report

Departmental Honors

Several departments at UA Little Rock offer honors programs to exceptional students. Admission to an honors program is generally tied to the student's grade point average and class standing and may require nomination by a faculty member. Such programs are distinct from graduation with honors; In addition to meeting and maintaining a certain grade-point average, qualifying students also take a special curriculum in the major. Requirements may include advanced study, seminars, or a research project and presentation. Departmental honors are posted on the student's academic transcript at graduation. Contact individual academic departments for more information.

Graduation Honors

To qualify for graduation honors, a student must have completed a minimum of 60 hours in residence at UA Little Rock. Graduation honors are calculated on all academic work completed in UA Little Rock credit-bearing courses. For repeated courses, only the grade from the final iteration of the course will be included in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average for determining graduation honors. All work completed at all other institutions, whether accepted as transfer credit at UA Little Rock or not, will not be included in the final calculation of honors (except as noted below).

The bachelor's degree with honors will be conferred upon candidates who graduate and earn a minimum cumulative grade point on all credit courses taken at UA Little Rock as follows:

• Summa cum laude: minimum grade point average of 3.90

This is a collaborative process between the DRC and the student, and when needed, with faculty.

The DRC believes that disability is an aspect of diversity that is integral to our society and the UA Little Rock campus community. The DRC also believes that creating and maintaining usable, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable learning environments is a shared responsibility of the campus community. Designing learning environments with usability in mind benefits all students at UA Little Rock. The ultimate indicator of our success is when students with disabilities can access their environments as seamlessly as non-disabled students.

Students pursuing a professional career in psychology are advised that the master's degree is the minimum training necessary. Prospective psychology majors, regardless of whether they plan to attend graduate school or not, should select courses with early and continuing advice from the department faculty. Students must plan their program of courses carefully. A wide range of courses is recommended as preparation for the requirements of different schools.

Legal Studies Minor

Program Requirements

Joseph D. Giammo, Coordinator | Ross Hall 642 | (501) 916-3331 | jdgiammo@ualr.edu

The legal studies minor provides the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of law and legal institutions. The program is broadly humanistic, giving students a general knowledge of the institutional, philosophical, and historical character of the legal system. Course work in the program is designed to help students understand and use written and spoken language, to foster a critical understanding of the human institutions and values with which the law deals, and to stimulate creative thinking.

A minor in legal studies is not designed specifically to prepare a student for law school. There is no recommended major or minor for law school. If you are interested in attending law school, the best preparation is an undergraduate curriculum that requires you to investigate information, analyze it, and explain your conclusions clearly. Most often a broad liberal arts background is the best preparation for these tasks. See "Legal Studies " for further information about preparation for law school.

The minor requires 18 hours, which must be approved by the coordinator. No more than nine hours may be chosen from any one discipline. The student's individual needs and interests are important considerations in the course selection process. This minor may also be chosen as one of the concentrations in the Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies curriculum. Before beginning the program, students should get a list of approved courses for the minor by contacting the coordinator.

For more information contact the coordinator, Dr. Joseph Giammo. His phone number is 501-916-3331 and his email address is jdgiammo@ualr.edu.

Religious Studies Minor

Most people experience religion from within some particular religious tradition. However, to study religion from the academic standpoint is to adopt the perspective of a detached but empathetic observer.

The minor is of value to students preparing for further study in religious studies or allied fields after graduation, such as graduate school or seminary, and to those who want to understand one of humanity's most basic responses to life.

Early Entry Programs

Health Education and Promotion, B.S. to M.S.

The Early Entry Bachelor of Science in Health Education and Promotion to Master of Science in Health Education and Promotion program is designed to provide a student working towards a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Health Education and Promotion a means to complete the requirements for their undergraduate degree along with a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Health Education and Promotion in a shorter amount of time than the traditional path.

Undergraduate students who are enrolled in the B.S. program in Health Education and Promotion program can apply to Graduate School using an early entry program form for admission into the M.S. program in Health Education and Promotion.

Admission Requirements

• o Undergraduate students may apply and be accepted any time after completing 75 or more hours of undergraduate coursework. However, at least 90 hours of undergraduate coursework must have been completed by the time the first graduate course is taken.
• o All applicants must have at least a 3.2 overall GPA. students who have transferred to our program can participate in the Early Entry program provided their relevant transfer coursework (i.e., courses taken at other institutions that are being used to meet our BS/MS degree requirements) also meet the 3.2 minimum GPA criteria. Applicants ·with an overall GPA of less than 3.2 are not eligible to participate in the Accelerated BS to MS program.
• o All applicants must complete an application for and be accepted into the Early Entry B.S. to M.S. in Health Education and Promotion program and the UA Little Rock Graduate School.
• o All applicants must complete an Early Entry Program form and be approved for admission by the School of Counseling, Human Performance, and Rehabilitation graduate coordinator and the UA Little Rock Graduate School. The Early Entry form must be approved by the graduate coordinator before the student begins graduate coursework. Failure to obtain prior approval negates the ability to "double count" courses.

Contact the School of Counseling, Human Performance and Rehabilitation to apply

Graduate Credit

• o Once accepted into a graduate program, students can take up to 12 hours of graduate coursework, which will count towards both the baccalaureate degree and the graduate degree. Individual graduate programs may allow fewer graduate hours to be taken at the undergraduate level; students should check with their prospective program to determine these limits.
• o Students must finish their baccalaureate degrees before they complete 15 hours of graduate coursework.

Program Restrictions

• o To ensure that they follow the proper degree plan, students must meet with a graduate-level advisor upon acceptance to the Early Entry program to map out the graduate courses they will take.
• o Accepted students will have provisional status in the graduate program, pending the award of their baccalaureate degree.
• o Early Entry students who fail to meet the Graduate School admission requirement of an overall 3.0 undergraduate GPA and no grades below a B once they obtain their baccalaureate degree will be dismissed from the graduate program.
• o Students accepted into the Early Entry program will be subject to the same policies as traditionally matriculated graduate students.
• o The Early Entry program may not be used in conjunction with the credit reservation program; therefore, no graduate courses taken before admission to the Early Entry program may be applied to a graduate degree.

Additional Information

• o Once a completed application has been received by the School of Counseling, Human Performance, and Rehabilitation, the student will be notified quickly, generally within 30 days, whether they have been accepted into the Early Entry program. The program accepts a limited number of students each year, and applicants will be considered for admission on a competitive basis.
• o Acceptance into the program indicates a commitment by the student to pursue the MS degree (after the completion of the BS in Health Education and Promotion)
• o Note: Students may request a break of up to two semesters between the completion of their BS and the start of their MS Health Education and Promotion courses per the UA Little Rock Graduate Student Leave of Absence Policy (Policy #509.12). However, if a student does not resume their graduate studies after their approved leave time expires, the student will then be released from the Early Entry Program. The student is then welcome to apply to the MS program using the regular admission process and to be advised accordingly.

Early Entry Programs

Business Analytics, B.B.A. to Business Information Systems and Analytics, M.S.

Undergraduate students enrolled in the B.B.A. program in Business Analytics can apply to Graduate School using an early entry program form for admission into the M.S. program in Business Information Systems and Analytics.

The Bachelor of Business Administration to Master of Science in Business Information Systems and Analytics is designed to provide a student working towards a B.B.A. in Business Analytics a means to complete the requirements for their undergraduate degree along with an M.S. degree in Business Information Systems and Analytics in a shorter amount of time than the traditional path.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply to the Early Entry B.B.A. to M.S. program before the end of their junior year to help ensure that they have the full subsequent year to begin taking appropriate courses for graduate credit, lessening the course load they will need to carry in their fifth year.

Admission Requirements

• o Undergraduate students may apply after completing 75 hours of undergraduate coursework, but cannot enroll in graduate courses until they have completed 90 undergraduate hours by the time the first graduate course is taken.
• o All applicants must have at least a 3.0 overall GPA in all their undergraduate coursework, and a 3.2 GPA in 12 or more hours in the Business Analytics program.

How to Apply

Things to Know

• o All applicants must complete an "Early Entry Program" form and have it approved by the graduate coordinator of the MS in Business Information Systems and Analytics program, the graduate director of the School of Business, and the Graduate School.
• o The Early Entry form must be approved by the graduate director of the School of Business before the student begins graduate coursework. Failure to obtain prior approval negates the ability to "double count" courses.
• o After the Early Entry form is approved by the Graduate Coordinator, applicants must complete the Graduate School application and be accepted into the UA Little Rock Graduate School to be officially accepted into the program.

Application Instructions

• o Complete graduate application form for the UA Little Rock Graduate School.
• o Complete the Early Entry Program form for the program.
• o Submit a list of three faculty references with contact information as part of the recommendation process. Formal letters are not required
• o Submit your Early Entry Program application to the Graduate Coordinator. Applications may be submitted by email to rbmitchell@ualr.edu as a single WORD or PDF document.

Graduate Credit

• o Once accepted into the master's program, the student may enroll in up to 12 hours of graduate courses during the senior year.
• o These graduate courses would count toward completion of the BBA degree requirements and be credited toward the MS in Business Information Systems degree.

Program Restrictions

• o To ensure that they follow the proper degree plan, students must meet with a graduate level advisor upon acceptance to the early entry program to map out the graduate courses they will take.
• o Accepted students will have provisional status in the graduate program, pending the award of their baccalaureate degree.
• o If, at the end of his/her baccalaureate degree, an early entry student has failed to meet the Graduate School admission requirement of a 3.0 overall undergraduate GPA with no grades below a B, she/he will be dismissed from the graduate program.
• o Students accepted into the early entry program will be subject to the same policies as traditionally matriculated graduate students.
• o The early entry program may not be used in conjunction with the credit reservation program; therefore, no graduate courses taken before admission to the early entry program may be applied to a graduate degree.

Note: Students may request a break of up to two semesters between completion of their BBA degree and the start of their MS in Business Information Systems and Analytics courses, as stated in the UA Little Rock

Graduate Student Leave of Absence Policy (Policy #509.12). If a student does not resume graduate studies after the approved leave time expires, the student will then be released from the Early Entry Business Analytics, BBA to MS in Business Information Systems and Analytics program. The student may then reapply to the graduate program using the regular admission process.

The Donaghey College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (DCSTEM) is committed to providing the STEM workforce that will build Arkansas' future, and to developing a quality faculty that can contribute to both our overall educational needs and the intellectual base of the state. To accomplish these goals, DCSTEM provides the necessary intellectual foundation for students to be successful and provides its faculty with the facilities and resources to make major contributions to our state. We work closely with UAMS and other educational institutions in the state and enhance our resources by acquiring external funds from federal agencies, private foundations, and other private enterprises.

Outreach to the community includes partnering with high schools statewide for in-school activities and summer programs on the UA Little Rock campus. Specific emphasis is on partnerships with local and regional industries, including an extensive internship program, company- sponsored senior design projects, and advisory council participation that provides direct external input into DCSTEM curricula.

DSTEM strives to be the college of choice for students from the state interested in a STEM-based education, has a faculty that is admired and respected regionally, nationally, and internationally, and is the institution that area employers turn to for new employees and intellectual support for their growth strategies.

Admissions Information for Majors

For admission to most majors within the college, students must meet or exceed eligibility requirements to enroll in RHET 1311 – Composition I. Students should check the admission requirements for their program of interest, as most majors in the college have additional requirements for admission.

Minors

Undergraduate students can declare a minor program of study in addition to their major.

Students must contact their advisor within the department or college of their major to declare a minor. Please refer to the Contact Page for your advisor's information.

Teacher Preparation for Undergraduate Students (Minor in Education)

Students interested in teaching in public schools in Arkansas must be licensed by the state in a state-approved subject area. All programs require the completion of a major in the chosen field, an Education Minor, and in some cases, additional courses or blocks of courses.

When hours accumulated within a content area, added to university core hours, second language hours, and 18 hours in the Education Minor fail to total 120 credit hours (of which at least 45 are upper-level), students must take additional general electives.

Licensure Areas:

• Biology
• Chemistry
• Mathematics
• o Physics

Pre-Professional Studies:

Students interested in pursuing careers in the following disciplines who are new freshmen or transfer students with less than 45 credit hours are advised by professional advisors in their respective departments.

• o Pre-Medical
• Pre-Dental
• Pre-Vet
• Pre-Pharmacy
• Pre-Physician's Assistant
• Pre-Optometry
• Pre-Occupational and Physical Therapy

The Pre-Professional Advisor in the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics will advise students who have reached approximately 45 hours. Keep in mind that all professional schools in the health field have different requirements, but all institutions require a combination of chemistry, physics, and biology courses. This includes completing core courses early in the student's academic career to graduate within four years.

Consequently, students should be advised of pre-professional disciplines in their freshman year.

Academic Advising

All degree-seeking undergraduate students must be advised each semester before registering for classes.

Freshmen: New freshmen are advised during orientation. Visit ualr.edu/newstudents for details about orientation.

New Transfer Students: The DC STEM Director of Student Services, Erin Flowers (eeflowers@ualr.edu), will contact you to make an advising appointment.

Current Students and Undeclared Majors: Locate your advisor in Workday Student.

Information Science, B.S.

The Bachelor of Science in Information Science is a combination of two computing disciplines: Information Systems and Information Technology. Courses cover programming, databases, IT infrastructure, and application development. This degree prepares students for a wide range of technology jobs such as:

• o Applications Developer
• o Database Administrator
• o Network Specialist
• o Quality Assurance Tester
• o System Administrator

The Bachelor of Science in Information Science requires at least 39 hours of information science and an additional 12 hours of IFSC specialization electives. Courses eligible for specialization elective credit must focus on a specific topic relevant to information systems and therefore are normally upper-level courses in information science, computer science, business, and relevant courses from other majors. A minor is not required for this curriculum.

Early Entry Programs

Applied Statistics, Bachelor's Degree to Graduate Certificate

Note: The Early Entry Bachelor's Degree to Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics is open to any major at UA Little Rock if they meet program requirements.

Exceptional undergraduate students may apply and be accepted into the Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics program and begin working toward their graduate certificate while completing their baccalaureate degree. The Early Entry Graduate Certificate program is open to all undergraduate majors who have completed the following courses:

• o MATH 1451 Calculus I
• o STAT 3352 Applied Statistics I or equivalent with a C or higher

Admission Requirements

• o Undergraduate students may apply and be accepted provisionally into the Early Entry program any time after completing 75 or more hours of undergraduate course work. However, at least 90 hours of undergraduate coursework must have been completed by the time the first graduate course is taken.
• o All applicants must have at least a 3.2 overall GPA at UA Little Rock to be considered. Students who have transferred to our program can participate in the Early Entry Program provided their relevant transfer coursework (i.e., courses taken at another institution used to meet our baccalaureate degree requirements) also meet the 3.2 minimum GPA criteria.
• o All applicants must have completed the following courses:
• o MATH 1451 Calculus I
• o STAT 3352 Applied Statistics I or equivalent with a C or higher

Things to Know

• o All applicants must complete an application for and be accepted into the Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics program and Graduate School.
• o All applicants must complete an Early-Entry Program form and be approved for admission by the Depa1tment of Mathematics and Statistics graduate coordinator. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Coordinator's decision is final and cannot be appealed. The Early Entry form must be approved by the Depa1tment of Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Coordinator before the student begins graduate coursework. Failure to obtain prior approval negates the ability to "double count" courses.
• o If at the end of the student's baccalaureate degree, a Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics student has failed to meet the Graduate School admission requirement of a 2.7 overall undergraduate GPA, the student will be dismissed from the Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics program.

Application Instructions

Once a completed application has been received by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, the student will be notified quickly, generally within 30 days, whether they have been accepted into the Early Entry Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics program.

A completed application consists of:

• o Completed graduate application form for the UALR Graduate School
• o Completed Early-Entry Program form
• o Two letters of recommendation, one of which must be from a university faculty member in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (letters are to be submitted directly by recommenders)
• o Submit your application to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Coordinator. Applications may be submitted by email to abchilqers@ualr.edu as a single WORD or PDF document.

General Core Requirements

General education nurtures in students the knowledge, skills, habits of mind, and values that provide a foundation for their baccalaureate program and for lifelong learning. General education fosters intellectual breadth, serves as a context for more specialized study, and is essential to the full development of people who wish to participate meaningfully in the various communities of which they are a part.

Given these goals, we endorse the following Educational Outcomes in the areas of Knowledge, Skills, and Values. We recognize that certain specific aspects of these outcomes will be discipline-specific, and we expect that the level of competence in each area will be defined and assessed according to the individual disciplines. The recommendations for core courses and other curriculum changes should be informed by these general outcomes.

Educational Outcomes

- Skills

• o Communication (oral, written, visual, professional self-presentation).
• o Critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and solving problems individually and collaboratively.
• Information technology (locating, retrieving, evaluating, synthesizing).

- Knowledge

Donaghey Scholars Honors Program

https://ualr.edu/donagheyscholars/ | 501-916-3389

The Donaghey Scholars Honors Program is UA Little Rock's University-wide honors program. Its interdisciplinary curriculum promotes critical thinking and active learning. Scholars' classes demand wide reading and extensive writing leading to vigorous discussions and frequent independent study.

The Donaghey Scholars admissions process uses academic records, test scores, written essays, recommendations, and personal interviews to determine whether the student would benefit from admission to the program. Since space in the program is limited to a total of 100 students, admission is highly competitive. The program is open to incoming UA Little Rock Freshmen, and continuing, and transfer students who meet the program requirements.

Students who are admitted to the program are granted an eight-semester scholarship equal to the full in-state tuition, a stipend (currently \$4,000 or \$5,000 per semester), and a generous subsidy for study abroad.

Scholars classes are small, making it possible for faculty to get to know students and their interests. Informal advising is frequent. The Director and Associate Director advise all Scholars during their first year.

The Scholars Program has a specially designed interdisciplinary curriculum, which replaces the University's core curriculum requirements.

Graduates of the Donaghey Scholars Honors Program receive a special notation in their official university transcripts.

Scholars Program Requirements:

• o Maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA
• o Maintain full-time enrollment status
• o Fulfillment of the University's core curriculum mathematics requirement
• o US History or American National Government
• o A lab science course
• o Demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language
