    Admission Procedures

    Student Admission Procedure

    1. Complete and return an Application for Admission, obtained online at www.cccua.edu/apply or from the Admission Office by mail:
      UA Cossatot – Office of Admission
      183 College Drive
      De Queen, Arkansas 71832

    2. High School Transcript or GED Scores--Provide official transcripts from the high school or home school attended. International transcripts MUST be certified and translated into English to be considered. GED graduates must provide GED test scores. Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree or higher are not required to provide high school transcripts or GED information but must provide official college/university transcripts.
       
    3. Placement Scores – ACCUPLACER, ACT, ASSET, COMPASS, and SAT are accepted. UA Cossatot Testing Centers administer the ACCUPLACER free of charge after the application for admission has been processed. ACCUPLACER retakes are $10.00 per section per attempt.
       
    4. Proof of Immunization – Arkansas State law requires proof of two (2) immunizations against measles (rubeola), one (1) immunization against rubella, and one (1) against mumps. Students may go to the local county health office for additional immunizations if needed. Students may also contact the Arkansas Department of Health at 501-661-2169 to claim a philosophical or religious exemption.  Please see the Registrar to claim a medical exemption. UA Cossatot will also accept titer test documentation if immunity is verified. Students born before Jan. 1, 1957, are not required to provide proof of immunization.
       
    5. College Transcripts (if applicable) – Provide official transcripts from all colleges attended, including those where concurrent credit was gained during high school.  Students who have graduated with a 4-year degree or higher and submit a college transcript documenting such may have the requirement of an official high school transcript waived. International transcripts MUST be certified and translated into English to be considered.

    Additional documentation may be requested such as a copy of a photo id and/or social security card.

    The Admission Packet is considered incomplete, and students will not be eligible for financial aid until ALL of the above documents are in the student’s file. 

    Course Transfer Policy

    UA Cossatot accepts transfer courses from other colleges/universities for degree-seeking students. In order for a course to be eligible for transfer, a grade of C or better must have been earned in the course.

    Readmitted Students

    Students wishing to return to UA Cossatot after an absence of one semester or longer (not including summer terms) must submit a new application for readmission and provide official college transcripts from all colleges attended since last attending UA Cossatot.

    Transfer Admission from Other Institutions

    Students wishing to enroll at UA Cossatot after attending another institution will be required to provide all admission documents as required by UA Cossatot’s admission policy. Students must be in good standing at previous institutions as UA Cossatot honors other institutions’ probation/suspension policies; therefore, students on suspension or probation from another institution may not be allowed to enroll at UA Cossatot OR may be allowed to enroll under special circumstances with the approval of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Services. To appeal an academic probation or suspension, submit a request in writing to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Services. The transfer institution may or may not grant credit for courses taken at UA Cossatot while the student was on probation or suspension from their institution. Transfer students who have college-level work in reading, English composition, and/or college algebra by a score of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale shall be exempt from providing/taking placement tests for reading, English, and mathematics. 

    Conditional Enrollment

    All students graduating after May 1, 2002, from Arkansas high schools, out-of-state schools, home-schooling, private high schools, and GED recipients shall be evaluated for determining Conditional or Unconditional Admissions status. Act 1290 of 1997 (A.C.A. §6-60-208) requires students to have completed the core curriculum for unconditional admission to a college. Students who have not completed the core curriculum will be advised into specific courses to remove deficiencies as specified by Arkansas Act 1290 of 1997.

    Felony Enrollment Policy

    When a student or applicant has been charged with or convicted of a violent crime or felony, the College reserves the right to place the student’s registration on hold pending further review. To address these situations and to fulfill the College’s obligation to provide a safe campus, the UAC Police Officers will obtain information from the student regarding the situation and submit said information to the Review Committee.

    The existence of a conviction or pending charges may not mean a student will be denied registration privileges; however, failure to provide complete, accurate, and truthful information will be grounds to deny or withdraw admission or to dismiss after enrollment. Each case will be individually evaluated and assessed based on the facts of the conviction.

    Veterans Preference for Enrollment

    Students currently serving in the military and those with veteran status who have been honorably discharged will have preference of enrollment when all factors are held equal for classes with limited seating. Current military personnel and honorably discharged veterans will not take precedence over currently enrolled students.

    High School Programs

    Secondary Career Center

    UA Cossatot, in conjunction with area high school and the De Queen-Mena Educational Cooperative, offers high school students the opportunity to get a head start on a degree and technical career. High school students may enroll in skilled and technical classes that will count as credit toward high school graduation as well as credit toward a certificate of proficiency, technical certificate, or associate’s degree. To obtain the most current course offerings, contact the high school counselor, Career Coach, or UA Cossatot Director of High School Programs. Students enrolled in Secondary Career Center Programs must maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 at UA Cossatot to continue taking courses at the college.

    Concurrent Enrollment

    Academically qualified high school students who meet the admission requirements are allowed to enroll in college credit classes as concurrent students. Students may receive credit for the course(s) at the high school they attend, as well as at the college. Contact the high school counselor to ensure the college courses will count for high school credit. To obtain the most current course offerings, contact the high school counselor, Career Coach, or UA Cossatot Director of High School Programs. Students concurrently enrolled must maintain a 2.0 G.P.A. in UA Cossatot classes. Failure to achieve a 2.0 G.P.A. will result in the student being barred from enrolling in UA Cossatot classes until after high school graduation.

    To enroll in Mathematics or Natural Science courses it is recommended, but not required, that students provide an ACT Math or Accuplacer Elementary Algebra score. Math scores will not prevent the student from taking an English, Social Science, or Technology course.
