Arkansas Department of Higher Education First-Time Entering Undergraduate Transfer Students Enrollment by Institution of Origin, Fall of Academic Year 2017-2018

Principal Challenges

• Some ACTS courses are accepted as elective credit rather than direct equivalents (70~80%)
• Actual implementation/compliance with statewide transfer agreements is not universal
• Course by course agreements result in 2+2 transfer, hidden prerequisites, lengthening time to degree
• Few incentives (and actual disincentives) for students to complete associate degrees prior to transfer

Current State of Transfer and Articulation-Arkansas

Yes Description Citation Transferable core of lower- division courses Yes Requires the Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board to establish a minimum core of courses which apply toward the general education core curriculum requirements for associate and baccalaureate degrees at state-supported institutions which are fully transferable between all state-supported institutions

• f higher education.
• Ark. Code Ann. § 6-61-218

Statewide common course numbering Yes The Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board must implement a statewide common course numbering system that: 1) provides improved program planning, 2) increases communication among all delivery systems, 3) facilitates the transfer of students and credits between state-supported institutions of higher education, and 4) promotes consistency in course designation and identification.

• Ark. Code Ann.

§ 6-61-1401 to 1407 Statewide guaranteed transfer of an associate degree Yes Created the statewide transfer agreement. State minimum core curriculum means 60 semester hours of lower-division coursework that satisfy the requirements of an associate of arts/science/teaching and selected baccalaureate degrees at all public institutions. Requires a four-year public institution to admit a transfer student to junior status in a baccalaureate degree program if the student completed a transfer degree or state minimum core curriculum.

• Ark. Code Ann. § 6-61-231

Statewide reverse transfer No Reverse transfer will be coordinated by ADHE.

Current State (ACTS)

Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS)

• Identify and reduce barriers so that students can

reach the highest educational level possible.

• Comply with statutes that provide for seamless

transfer.

• Reduce the number of individual articulation

agreements among institutions and establish a statewide transfer system that is simple, accessible, and student friendly

Efforts to Simplify Transfer

Statewide common course numbering or mandated compliance with course applicability systems Regional Transfer Workshops

• Review the feasibility of establishing a statewide

common course numbering system-ACTS

• Review recommendations of Mathematics

pathways.

• Locations: November (ASUJ), December (ATU)

February (SEARK) –Agenda on AA Calendar

• Roger Phillips Transfer Act Report is required as

result of Act 182 of 2009 ACT 182 compliance is

• nly required for 4-year public institutions
