How To Get Started

Step 1: Choose Your Program

Before you apply, find the online degree or certificate program that you’re interested in. We’re happy to help you with questions you might have along the way.

Step 2: Apply for Admission

You can apply for admission at apply.ualr.edu. A $40 admission fee is required for all applicants except active-duty and veteran military students.

Undergraduate students should review the Quick Guide to know what documents they need to submit for admission. If you’re applying to Graduate School, review the steps to submitting your application.

Some programs may have additional admission requirements specific to that program. We recommend that you review all requirements and speak to a program coordinator or advisor before submitting your application.

UA Little Rock will carefully evaluate your academic documents and contact you via email about your admission status. You can also check your application status. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions or the Graduate School are available to help if you have any questions about your application.

Step 3: Register for Courses

Once you’ve been accepted to UA Little Rock, your academic advisor will contact you to confirm your degree plan and help you choose your online classes.

UA Little Rock Online (“eLearning Online Campus”) programs are for degree-seeking students only. Course selections designated as “9U_” sections are available exclusively for UA Little Rock Online students. Students who are not seeking an online degree, but wish to take online courses, can register for sections designated as “99_” or “98_” (select “Little Rock Campus” in the class search, then filter by “online classes”).

Step 4: Pay for Classes and Get Started

Students are eligible for fewer fees for all UA Little Rock Online programs. To take advantage of this perk, students must be identified on the UA Little Rock Online/eLearning campus and declared in an approved UA Little Rock Online program by their program advisor. We help make your education more affordable by offering online payment plans.

UA Little Rock’s Financial Aid office provides several online resources for students seeking information about loans, grants and scholarships.
