Welcome to the University of Central Arkansas!
New Transfer Students – Whether you’re transferring to UCA after completing just a few classes at another school or bringing your Associate’s Degree with you, we’re glad you are joining us. We know you’re not a “first-year” student like our freshmen, but starting at a new campus always has some challenges. Please reach out if we can assist with your transition or help in any way. Be sure to explore all of the programs and services we offer, but especially note the programs below.
Non-Traditional Students – If any of the following describes you — 25+, married, transfer student, parent, military (active, veteran, reserves) — you are considered a nontraditional student. UCA is interested in your perspectives and has staff here to assist with your needs. Be sure to register for our Non-Trad RSO (below), and see other resources that might be helpful.
