College Success Orientation
All first-time entering freshman and transfer students enrolled in at least six semester credit hours at UACCM are required to complete a oneday
college success orientation prior to the beginning of the semester. There is no cost associated with the college success orientation; however,
students who do not complete orientation will be automatically enrolled in the ACAD 0001 College Orientation class and will be required to
pay one credit hour tuition and fees. Concurrently enrolled high school students, home school students, and students eligible for the special
tuition rate for senior citizens will not be required to complete college success orientation or ACAD 0001 College Orientation.
student handbook
ACAD 0001 College Orientation is a Pass/Fail course. Students are not allowed to drop this course unless completely withdrawing from the
semester.
Credit by Examination
UACCM awards college credit through the Advanced Placement (AP) program, the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and by
departmental examinations.
Advanced Placement (AP)
High School students who participated in The College Board’s AP Program may receive college credit by attaining UACCM’s AP qualifying
score. Credit earned through AP may satisfy certificate and/or degree requirements. Check with the Registrar for a current list of accepted
Advanced Placement scores.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
The CLEP program allows students to earn credit towards completion of a certificate and/or degree at UACCM. Check with the Registrar for
a current list of accepted College Level Examination Program scores.
Departmental Examination
Students may receive credit for technical courses by successfully completing the departmental exam for a course. The exams are constructed
and graded by the faculty of the respective department and are developed from the goals and objectives described in the course syllabus. The
passing levels for the exams are established by the departmental faculty and division chair and approved by the Vice Chancellor for Academic
Services.
Students are limited in the number of credit by examination hours that may be used for certificate and/or degree completion. No more than 30
hours may be used for degree completion and no more than one-half of the hours required for a certificate.
Credit Courses
Credit courses are those courses for which, upon successful completion, students are given credit that can be applied to meet the requirements
for a certificate or associate degree granted by UACCM. Additional courses that can be transferred to meet requirements for a degree or
certificate at another Arkansas institution and remedial courses for which credit equivalency is granted are also considered credit courses. All
credit courses are assigned a course number.
Final Exams
Final exam schedules are posted at the beginning of each term. Students whose class schedule results in three or more final exams on the same
day may petition the Vice Chancellor for Academic Services to have one of the examinations moved to a different day.
