Students may take advantage of our Summer Forgiveness option which allows students to make up any GPA or hour deficiencies during the summer following receipt of their scholarship. Summer courses must be taken at UA Little Rock at the student’s own expense. Students will be provided a link to our Summer Forgiveness form to access this option after academic progress is reviewed at the end of the spring semester.

Please Note:

• The summer enrollment forgiveness option may delay receipt of scholarships in the fall semester.

Your scholarship will be canceled immediately if you are placed on academic probation or if you withdraw from all coursework during a semester.

If you’re graduating, complete a graduation enrollment exception request and provide a degree plan from your academic advisor. This will make sure we know to process your award because as you know, we can’t award a scholarship if you aren’t enrolled full-time (15 credit hours). Note: Your award may be prorated if your award amount is greater than the tuition and fees you owe.
