Transfer Students

Planning to transfer? Before you make an appointment:

Students who are transferring to the U of A to complete a  major within Bumpers College should make an appointment to meet with an academic advisor. Be prepared for your appointment by completing the checklist below:

  1.  Make sure you have been completely admitted to the U of A.
  2.  Make sure all of your completed transfer work has been posted to your UAConnect student center (select "Other Academic" and scroll to "Course History"). Need help?
    1. Note: If you took courses concurrently during high school, you will need to submit those transcripts as well.
    2.  Note: If you have AP/IB credits, you need to have those scores sent to the U of A directly from the College Board.
  3. Make sure your immunization records have been turned in to the Pat Walker Health Center. Fax to 479-575-7789, upload to the health center's portal (which can be found, along with directions, here), or deliver the records in-person to the health center.
  4.  Make sure to remove any non-advising holds on your student center in UAConnect. 

Completed steps 1-4? Here's how to schedule an appointment:

  1.  Contact the Bumpers College Student Services Office at aflsdean@uark.edu or 479-575-2252 so that we can connect you to your new advisor and set up a time to meet. If you have met with them previously, please feel free to contact them directly.
  2.  Please have a copy of your current transcript available during your advising appointment if you are taking courses this semester.
  3.  Use the checksheet specific to your Bumpers College major to help guide your pre-advising decision.
