UACCM courses are identified by a code containing letters which indicate the department and numbers which indicate sequencing within the department. The last number indicates credit hours received for the course. Remedial classes, while providing credit and being included in the computation of the semester grade point average, do not count toward graduation for either a certificate or degree. The exception, Intermediate Algebra, may fulfill the mathematics requirements for technical/career programs. “ACTS” Arkansas Course Transfer System. “GE” designates the course is acceptable as a General Education Elective.
