Concurrent Credit

High school students must submit the following:

1. A formal application for admission - note, please apply as a concurrent student when asked about your student type.

2. A registration form letting us know which classes you're wanting to take.

3. ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer. (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.

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 contact our Concurrent Enrollment Coordinator.
