The University reserves the right to modify admission requirements appearing in this catalog. Application forms and the most current information about admission requirements can be obtained from the Office of Admissions. All application materials and supporting documents should be sent to:
The Office of Admissions

Telephone: (501) 575-5346 or 1-800-377-8632
When to Apply
Application prior to March 1 for a fall term
(November 1 for a spring term) is recommended
for all students. You must first be admitted (or
readmitted) to the University to be considered for
financial aid, most University scholarships, or on-campus
housing.
Deadlines: Applications and required transcripts must be received in the Office of Admissions by the following deadlines:
Fall-August 15
Spring-January 1
Applicants who do not meet the above deadlines will be denied admission for that term, and will be considered for admission the following term.
International students should refer to 'Admission of International Students' for application deadlines, procedures, and requirements.
High school transcripts are required of all entering
freshmen and transfer students with fewer than 24 transferable
semester hours. A preliminary admission will be provided
to high school seniors on the basis of six- or
seven-semester transcripts. However, a final transcript
showing all high school course work and certifying actual
graduation must be submitted before registration for
courses.
College transcripts must be provided from each college
or university attended. To be considered official,
transcripts must be sent directly from the issuing
institution. Hand-carried transcripts are not considered
official. However, students should bring personal,
unofficial copies of their transcripts for use in advisement
at the University.
Prospective freshmen should take the ACT or SAT no later
than February of their senior year. Students who have not
taken a national test or who have not had their scores
reported to (and received by) the University prior to the
time they plan to register must take a campus-administered
ACT examination offered in conjunction with some orientation
sessions.
An applicant who has withheld pertinent information regarding
educational background or who has falsified information or
credentials will be denied admission to the University or,
if enrolled, will be immediately withdrawn.
Continued in next document.
How to Apply
The University shall admit only those applicants whose
enrollment will not be detrimental to the quality of life
and the educational programs of the University. The Campus
Faculty Committee on Admissions and Transfer of Credit has
sole authority to grant any individual a variance from any
University admission or transfer policy if the Committee
deems it appropriate to do so after considering the
individual's petition. Also, the Committee has the final
authority in interpreting University admission or transfer
policies.
