All other official documentation must be on file. In those cases, final official transcripts showing an overall grade-point average of at least 2.00 on all college course work attempted will be required within a specified time and prior to registering for a second term or semester at the University. Students transferring from other Arkansas institutions who have earned 45 or more transferable hours must take the exam during the first week of class, unless the student has documentation that the AAGE was completed at another college or university in Arkansas. Students who do not meet the AAGE requirement by the last day to register for classes will have their classes canceled for that semester. For more information on the AAGE, contact Testing Services at 575-2824.
Transfer credits are subject to a two-stage evaluation process.
First, the eligibility of the hours for transfer are evaluated by the Office of Admission. In the case of course work taken at institutions not fully accredited by a regional accrediting agency, transfer credit may be denied altogether or may be granted provisionally subject to successful completion of specified courses at the University. Act 98 of 1989 requires each institution of higher learning in Arkansas to identify a minimum core of general education courses which shall be fully transferable between state-supported institutions. English, U.S. history or government, mathematics, science, fine arts and humanities, and social sciences. Each college at the University of Arkansas reserves the right to set additional general education or core requirements above and beyond those in a particular 35-hour SMC, however.
