    Associate Degree Transfer Options

    UA Cossatot may grant credit for previous training and/or courses from other institutions accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education to students under certain conditions. Transcript evaluations will be completed upon receipt of official transcripts from previously attended institutions. Evaluations will be completed for degree-seeking students, not transitory or undeclared students. In order for a course to be eligible for transferring a grade of C or better must have been earned in the course.

    See College Policy/Procedure 514 for more information.

    The Arkansas Course Transfer System serves as a tool to tell which courses transfer to/from Arkansas public colleges. Students are guaranteed the transfer of applicable credits and equitable treatment in the application of credits for the admissions and degree requirements.
