Next Step: Complete Your Admission

Please submit the following documents to finish your admission process.

Once we receive and process these documents, we can award your financial aid and enroll you in classes.

  • Official high school transcript with graduation date and final GPA (must be sent directly from high school) OR GED certificate showing test scores

  • UA Cossatot does not require placement scores for admission or placement in most classes.  However, students with ACT scores may present those in order to bypass refresher or developmental sequences, and qualify for scholarships. (UA Cossatot offers the Compass test through Testing Centers on all three campuses.)
     
  • Proof of immunization showing TWO doses of MMR (Arkansas state law requires we keep on file proof of two immunizations against measles (rubeola), and one immunization against rubella and mumps. Your high school, county health department, or family doctor may have a copy of your shot record. Students born before January 1st, 1957, are not required to provide proof of immunization)
     
  • Additional documentation may be required, such as a copy of a valid driver's license or signed social security card.
