In-Progress Grade (Incomplete Grade)
Students who receive a grade of “I” must contact the instructor immediately to make arrangements for completion of the course. The
instructor sets a reasonable time limit in which the work must be completed, and a written agreement is signed by both the instructor and
student. If, at the end of that time, the work has not been completed, the instructor changes the “I” to an “F.” Completed work receives the
appropriate letter grade. In-Progress grades not completed within one semester automatically become an “F.”
Non-Credit Courses
Non-credit courses are courses, seminars, workshops, and other institutional activities or experiences offered which will not be applied to
meet requirements of the College’s formal certificate or associate degree programs.

Prior Learning Credit
The College recognizes that not all learning takes place in a traditional classroom; therefore students are given an opportunity to receive
academic credit from seminars completed or completion of specialized training, including military training. Credit will be evaluated upon the
student’s request and only if the student is degree or certificate seeking. Credit will only be awarded if applicable to the student’s declared
major. Students are eligible for a maximum of 30 prior learning credit hours. Requests for Prior Learning Credit can be made in the Registrar’s
Office by providing a written statement for which credit is being requested. If planning to transfer after attending UACCM, prior learning
credits may not be accepted by the transfer institution.
Documentation provided to the College upon request for Prior Learning Credit will be reviewed by a committee and an objective
determination will be made as to which, if any, courses the applicant may have obtained sufficient knowledge and skills that would be
equivalent to courses objectives. If the student has successfully documented equivalent learning to meet course objectives, credit will be
awarded. Final authority for the awarding of Prior Learning Credit rests with the Vice Chancellor for Academic Services.
Selecting a Major
The University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton encourages each student to give serious thought to the selection of a major.
Each student should determine the academic and technical pursuits that lead to the careers most attractive not only in financial gain, but in
personal interest as well. Students are encouraged to visit UACCM’s Office of Counseling Services to explore and plan their future.
Undeclared Study
An individual who is experiencing difficulty in selecting a major field may enroll in general education courses which are required of all
candidates seeking a degree or certificate. Students seeking a degree or certificate from UACCM should select a major no later than the
beginning of the second semester of their freshman year or after completing 12 credit hours.
