Concurrent Courses 

Sophomores, juniors and seniors are able to take up to two concurrent courses for free per semester through the Concurrent Challenge Scholarship. No extra paperwork is required by the student for this scholarship as the High School Programs department ensures their information is submitted to state institutions for reimbursement.

All dual/concurrent enrollment courses taken at UA Cossatot (UAC) will count for college credit and will be included on UAC transcripts. UA Cossatot does not award high school credit. It is the student’s responsibility to request high school credit from their high school counselor or career coach.

For all concurrent enrollment requirements, please see the second page of the Concurrent Class Enrollment Form listed in the documents below.

 

 

Students who are concurrently enrolled must maintain a 2.5 GPA in UA Cossatot classes. Failure to achieve a 2.5 GPA will result in the student being barred from enrollment in additional UA Cossatot classes until after graduation from high school.

All concurrent enrollment courses are fully transferable within the state of Arkansas. Please visit the Arkansas Course Transfer Systems (ACTS) Website for more information. For those interested in employment opportunities within the CEP at UAC, teaching requirements are the same as other transfer courses: a master’s degree with 18 hours in the field or a closely-related field.
 
If a parent, student, faculty member, or school district personnel has any questions concerning the Concurrent Enrollment Program, its courses, or faculty, please contact Julie Rhodes at jrhodes@cccua.edu or 870-584-1343.
