The best way to know how a course will transfer to the University of Arkasnas is by consulting the Transfer Credit Course Equivalency Guides. Try to select courses that will transfer as exact equivalents to UA courses. For example:
Pluaski Technical College CIS 113 "Intro to the Internet" =
University of Arkansas: CSCE 1012 "College Computing Skills"

Grade forgiveness permits a student to improve their UA GPA by repeating a maximum of two courses (up to 9 hours) in which a 'D' or 'F' was earned. This applies only to courses taken and repeated at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. To apply for grade forgiveness, students must file their request with the Registrar's office, Hunt Hall 146, BEFORE GRADUATION.
- Students are limited to two requests as a UA undergraduate.
- Lecture/lab corequisites taken together count as one usage.
- Both the original grade and the new grade appear on the transcript.
- Grades received because of academic dishonesty are not eligible.
- Some insitutions will not recognize grade forgiveness.
At the latest, you should apply for graduation in the
Dean's office (MAIN 525) early in the semester you plan to graduate. For
any other questions about graduation, contact the Dean's Office: 575-4801.
