Residency

What are your residency requirements?
The UALR Admissions Office on our undergraduate campus determines eligibility for residency status.  If you have questions about the residency policy, you can call the staff at 501.569.3127. We offer all non-residents scholarships in the amount of the difference between resident and non-resident tuition, provided that you apply for residency once you are eligible.

I’m from another state. Do you have different admission standards for non-residents?
No. All applicants are considered in the same admission pool. However, because we are a state-funded school we must limit the number of non-residents admitted into the entering class. Generally, non-residents comprise approximately 20 percent of each entering class.
