With UA Rich Mountain's concurrent credit program, high school students who meet the program requirements can earn college credit while in high school. This program is designed for students in grades 10-12. Students work with Rich Mountain admissions staff and their high school counselor to apply for admissions into the program. This program is the enrollment of a high school student in post-secondary education classes to receive high school credit and college-level credit.

While course offerings vary at each high school, some of the courses offered include English Composition I & II, Oral Communications, US History, Chemistry, College Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus.

UA Rich Mountain also offers several general education courses online which high school students are eligible to take as long as the requirements for admission into the college and those for the specific courses are met. The student should work with the high school counselor for a full course listing.

Concurrent credit students do not qualify to receive federal financial aid. However, UA Rich Mountain offers concurrent credit courses to area high school students at a significantly reduced rate. The cost is $66 per credit hour. A three credit hour class will cost $198 for the concurrent student.

Concurrent credit general education classes offered will transfer to any public college/university in the state of Arkansas. The only time this would not be true is if the student enters an honors program at a college or plans to attend a private college/university. You can visit the Arkansas Course Transfer System to find out the transferability of a course.

Some courses offered by UA Rich Mountain qualify for Dual Credit from area high schools. Dual credit is for students taking courses outside the school hours and at the discretion of the student. These courses are for college credit and may transfer. As per public school policy, these course credits MAY be used for high school credit toward graduation. Students should contact their local school district for guidance on which courses qualify at the district. There is no reduction in tuition for students taking dual credit courses.

The primary goals of career center courses are to give students the ability to make an informed career choice, to teach marketable job skills and to encourage students to continue their education after high school.

For more information visit our Secondary Technical Career Center page.

Early College Start
SouthArk's Early College Start Program is an opportunity for high school students to enroll in college courses to enhance their high school education and accelerate their postsecondary education. High school students who are seniors, juniors, or exceptional 10th graders may concurrently enroll for college credit courses. A student can participate in the Early College Start program either by Concurrent Enrollment or Dual Enrollment. SouthArk is also approved by the Arkansas Department of Education as a provider to offer digital learning courses in compliance with Act 1280. For more information, contact: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. To participate, click here.
Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent Enrollment refers to high school students completing college-level courses on their high school campuses. When students complete each course with an acceptable grade, they earn college credit and also satisfy high school graduation requirements.
Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment refers to classes offered to students at SouthArk outside of the regular school day and on SouthArk's campus. Students may take any SouthArk course in which they meet the skills and college course prerequisites.
Students must meet general SouthArk requirements to enroll in either program:

Complete a SouthArk application for admission and an ECS-Registration form.

Submit a copy of their high school transcripts, immunization records, and ACT scores* to SouthArk.

Pay the class registration fee (if applicable).

*If ACT scores are not available or if students do not have sufficient ACT scores required for class admittance, the Accuplacer test may be taken at SouthArk.
Transferability of General Education Credits
Most colleges and universities accept transfer credits from SouthArk; however, the acceptance of transfer credit is the prerogative of the receiving institution. Students should obtain assurances in advance from the institution to which they wish to transfer.

Students may link to the ACTS system to obtain information about the transferability of courses within Arkansas public colleges and universities.

Concurrent Enrollment

High school students must submit the following:

1. A formal application for admission. A paper application is available upon request.

2. ACT, SAT, or ACCUPLACER - Next Generation test scores. (Please see chart below for minimum placement scores). If you have taken the ACCUPLACER with ASUMH (including with your high school Career Coach), we have your scores on file.

Act 1097 of the General Assembly provides for students who are enrolled in an accredited high school and meet the admission standards of ASUMH to enroll concurrently for academic courses. The 2010 Arkansas State Regulations require ALL concurrent credit students have a minimum ACT READING score of 19, ACCUPLACER READING score of 78, or a COMPASS score of 83. In addition to required READING score, concurrent credit students must also meet minimum placement scores as shown below.

MINIMUM PLACEMENT SCORES

ACT | | COMPASS | | ACCUPLACER | | NEXT GEN ACCUPLACER
English 19 | or | English 80 | or | English 83 | or | English 260
Reading 19 | or | Reading 83 | or | Reading 78 | or | Reading 252
Math 21 | or | Math 47 | or | Elementary Algebra 47 | or | Math 255-300

Arkansas Concurrent Challenge Scholarship

Trying to figure out how much these courses are going to cost you? Well, the Arkansas Concurrent Challenge Scholarship could be here to help you! Under the scholarship, eligible high school Juniors and Seniors can receive 2 courses per semester for little cost to them. The state will pay $125 towards the course, ASUMH will scholarship a portion, and then the student will pay a $25 per course. This means that all you pay is a $25 fee and the course materials (books, online access codes, etc)!

Wondering what classes are eligible for this scholarship? Check out the ACTS Course Transfer List.

Questions? Give us a call at 870-508-6180 and we'll be happy to help!

Summer Dual Enrollment Courses

High school students who have successfully completed the ninth grade, may take classes during the summer terms at ASUMH. These courses are not covered by any scholarships or financial aid, so the tuition and fees would be out of pocket.

To register for summer courses at ASUMH, please fill out the High School Summer Enrollment Form. Once you have completed the form, a notification will be sent to your high school counselor so that they can sign off and upload your placement test scores.

The College offers more than 50 programs of study in academic, career and technical disciplines to approximately 3,500 credit, non-credit, adult education (three sites-Hot Spring, Clark and Grant Counties) and workforce students, while serving the culturally and economically diverse populations in the five-county service area of Hot Spring, Saline, Clark, Grant and Dallas Counties.

Accredited by The Higher Learning Commission, ASU Three Rivers offers some of the region's best professional and technical programs. Through its divisions of Applied Science Technology; Arts and Sciences; and Health Sciences, the College offers certification in a number of academic, law enforcement, medical, and vocational fields. ASU Three Rivers grants Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Arts, and Associate of Business degrees in nursing, computer information systems, engineering and manufacturing technology (mechatronics), general technology, criminal justice, general education, accounting, office administration, management, and early childhood education. The College's general education courses prepare students for a bachelor's degree which is a great way to stretch scholarship dollars, family funds, and financial aid assistance.

The College began as Ouachita Vocational Technical School (OVTS) as authorized by the State Board of Education in July 1969 to serve the vocational training needs of a five-county area surrounding Malvern and Hot Spring County. In 1985, OVTS was designated as a high school vocational center as the state attempted to make vocational education accessible to all Arkansas high school students. In 1988, the Arkansas Business Council Foundation recommended transferring postsecondary vocational programs from the State Board of Education to the State Board of Higher Education, expansion of general education programs in vo-tech schools, technical workforce training, and converting existing vo-tech schools into colleges along with support and funding.

The 1991 Arkansas Legislature responded to the recommendations with Act 1244, Two-Year Postsecondary Education Reorganization Act of 1991. OVTS was not in the original legislation; but, at the urging of local business leaders and educators, Senator George Hopkins introduced separate legislation to redesignate OVTS as Ouachita Technical College. The legislation (Act 617 of 1991) was signed into law prior to Act 1244, making Ouachita Technical College Arkansas' first technical college. The College received initial accreditation in 1996 and has continuing accreditation with The Higher Learning Commission.

The Board of Trustees approved a name change in 2010 to communicate the College's broad mission of higher education and service. In July 2011, the name of the College was officially changed to College of the Ouachitas. In February 2019, the college signed a merger agreement with Arkansas State University System, and announced a new name for the institution in September 2019. On January 1, 2020, College of the Ouachitas became Arkansas State University Three Rivers.

The Three Rivers in our name have significant meaning for us. They represent rivers located in our service area - the Saline, Ouachita and Caddo Rivers. The middle river in the logo, which is the longest, is representative of the Ouachita River, as it has been a part of the college's rich history for more than half a century.

SAU System Board meets, renames residence hall in honor of Dr. Kathleen Mallory

The Southern Arkansas University System Board of Trustees met in regular session on Thursday, June 9, at the SAU-Tech campus in Camden.

The Board passed a resolution renaming University Hall in recognition of Dr. Kathleen Mallory. A trailblazer, she was one of the first two African-American students to attend Southern State College. She became the University's first black faculty member teaching in the general education program beginning in August 1974. Her leadership on campus was noted in her committee service and leadership in the Minority Forum, a group dedicated to the improvement of SAU and its students. A former student summarized her career, saying in part, "Dr. Mallory was an excellent instructor, but more importantly, she was a wonderful person because she cared so much about each of her students." The renaming of University Hall to Kathleen Mallory Hall will recognize Dr. Mallory's service and commitment to SAU. The dedication of Mallory Hall will take place during Homecoming celebrations on October 1, 2022. (more...)

About the Concurrent Credit Program

National Park College offers high school students the opportunity to earn college credit while in high school. Through the Concurrent Credit Program, courses are taught on the high school campus by NPC certified high school teachers. Students who successfully complete the class earn credits that count toward high school graduation as well as college credit for the course. These college credits can be applied toward a future NPC degree or transferred to another college or university*.

The NPC Concurrent Credit Program is fully accredited by NACEP - National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships. Additionally, NPC is accredited by HLC - The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. We are proud to offer our high school partners the quality standards and peace of mind that come with these affiliations.

Why should my student participate?

Concurrent credit gives your student a head start on their college education at a reduced rate, saving time and money.

Students who participate in concurrent credit programs are more likely to graduate from high school, enroll in college, earn higher grade point averages and complete college degrees.

Concurrent credit courses taken in high school may fulfill college degree requirements, serve as electives, or fulfill pre-requisite requirements, allowing for earlier college graduation.

Concurrent credit courses show colleges you are a motivated student who has pursued challenging opportunities.

How does my student become a NPC Concurrent Credit Student?

Student must complete the online admission application.

Student must complete the NPC concurrent registration form.

Student must submit copy of current ACT, ACCUPLACER or ASPIRE test scores. The scores must be within the past 3 years and before the beginning of the semester.

* While most colleges accept NPC concurrent enrollment course credits when a grade of C or higher is earned, we cannot guarantee all credits will be accepted because every college sets its own policy. If you are planning to attend another college or university, we recommend you check their transfer policies before enrolling in our courses.
