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.
