Most general education courses transfer to Arkansas public colleges through the Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS).

Students will have access to their official UACCM transcript with their courses and grades to send to any other college or university. If a student is concerned about their courses transferring to another institution, it is best practice to contact the college or university you are interested in attending and ask about transfer credits. Most universities will have a “Transfer Equivalency” portion of their website that provides students the ability to look up the courses they took at another university to determine what they may transfer as.

Each university has their own policy regarding transfer credit. If credit is not accepted as a transfer credit at another university, it is likely that the school does not have an equivalent course code or has a limited amount of electives that students are allowed to transfer in.

After graduation, request an official transcript from UACCM’s Registrar’s office to send to your college or university.
