The Associate of Arts and the Associate of Science degrees have been approved by the Arkansas Department of Higher Education as meeting the transfer criteria set forth in ACT 182 of 2009, commonly known as the Roger Phillips Transfer Act. ACT 182 of 2009 requires an Arkansas four-year public institution of higher education to admit a transfer student to junior status in a baccalaureate degree program if that student has completed the approved Associate of Arts or Associate of Science transfer curriculum. Further, an Arkansas four-year public institution of higher education receiving a transfer student shall not require additional lower division credits for the transfer student if the additional course is considered a general education lower division course. Finally, ACT 182 of 2009 requires an Arkansas four-year public institution of higher education to accept all hours completed and credits earned for a designated transfer degree upon a student’s transfer to a baccalaureate degree program at the four-year public institution of higher education.

Courses with a grade of "D" are not guaranteed to transfer. Institutional policies regarding the transfer of courses with a grade of "D" may vary.

*Note: Students not meeting the ACT, ASSET, or COMPASS requirements in math and English must enroll in sequential academic skills math, reading, and/or English courses during their first or second semester in college and each subsequent semester until the requirements are successfully completed. Any degree seeking student who is required to take an academic skills course, excluding Intermediate Algebra, must also take EDGE 1003 College Life Skills.

*ARKANSAS COURSE TRANSFER SYSTEM (ACTS)The Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) contains information about the transferability of courses within Arkansas public colleges and universities. Students are guaranteed the transfer of applicable credits and the equitable treatment in the application of credits for the admissions and degree requirements. Course transferability is not guaranteed for courses listed in ACTS as “No Comparable Course.” Additionally, courses with a “D” frequently do not transfer and institutional policies may vary. ACTS may be accessed on the Internet by going to the ADHE website and selecting Course Transfer (http://adhe.edu). Courses not having an ACTS number may also transfer. Please consult the receiving institution for complete transfer information.
