Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment


The University of Arkansas East Arkansas Community College (UAEACC) Concurrent Enrollment Program allows qualified students in grades 9-12 to earn both high school and college credit by enrolling in college-level courses while still attending high school. Concurrent courses are credit-bearing 1000- and 2000-level courses and may be offered at the high school, online, or on a UAEACC campus.
Students must meet UAEACC admission and placement requirements and receive approval from their high school. UAEACC works closely with partner school districts to provide high-quality college coursework taught by appropriately credentialed instructors in accordance with Arkansas Division of Higher Education (ADHE) standards. Placement decisions are based on documented readiness measures, including ACT, ACCUPLACER, previous coursework, career training, and other approved placement criteria designed to support student success.

Tuition, Fees, and Course Materials

UAEACC participates in the Access to Acceleration (A2A) Scholarship Program, which may provide funding for eligible concurrent enrollment coursework.
A2A Funding Limits

  • Maximum of 30 credit hours per academic year
  • Maximum of 15 credit hours per semester

Any tuition, fees, textbooks, or course-related expenses not covered by A2A funding or another approved funding source may become the responsibility of the student and/or parent/guardian. Additional course fees may apply for certain classes, including computer, science, art, music, and other specialized courses.

Important Information for Concurrent Students
By participating in concurrent enrollment:

  • College grades become part of the student's permanent UAEACC college transcript.
  • Coursework may affect future college admissions, scholarships, transfer opportunities, and financial aid eligibility.
  • Students are expected to follow all UAEACC academic integrity, attendance, technology, communication, and student conduct policies, as well as applicable school district policies.
  • Students should use their UAEACC email account as the official method of communication while enrolled.
