Principal Challenges • Some ACTS courses are accepted as elective credit rather than direct equivalents (70~80%) • Actual implementation/compliance with statewide transfer agreements is not universal • Course by course agreements result in 2+2 transfer, hidden prerequisites, lengthening time to degree • Few incentives (and actual disincentives) for students to complete associate degrees prior to transfer Average Bachelor's Completed Hours Transfer From: Transfer ASUM NWAC UACCR To: ANC ASUB H ASUMS ASUN BRTC CCCUA CotO EACC NAC NPC C OZC PCCUA SACC SAUT SEAC UACCB UACCH UACCM M UAPTC ASUJ 142.11 139.39 146.55 138.72 135.71 145.64 146.04 147.50 144.25 152.73 157.33 157.00 155.40 ATU 125.75 144.25 127.00 132.50 164.00 201.00 139.87 135.50 133.67 128.00 144.00 140.00 149.36 166.00 125.75 HSU 139.00 137.00 144.58 135.85 127.40 142.00 137.33 SAUM 151.88 173.00 158.00 147.50 154.43 131.00 158.07 148.00 140.25 179.00 UAF 130.00 137.00 138.00 138.00 137.00 139.60 140.01 152.00 123.67 126.00 124.00 135.00 136.17 134.00 UAFS 145.00 185.00 145.00 132.83 126.00 138.67 UALR 137.84 137.00 186.00 142.80 138.00 134.00 138.94 134.80 159.00 135.00 121.00 148.64 144.00 126.50 126.71 128.33 140.77 UAM 138.44 129.50 UAMS 103.83 124.00 120.00 123.50 125.00 120.00 80.67 80.75 62.00 84.59 UAPB 142.00 142.00 146.85 139.00 130.00 UCA 152.00 150.49 187.00 133.00 141.00 165.00 163.00 169.00 135.75 132.50 144.00 165.00 129.00 135.00 159.29 147.83 147.17 NOTE: Data includes students who completed an AA degree in AY2013 who completed a Bachelor's degree by AY2017

Statewide common course Yes The Arkansas Higher Education Coordinating Board must implement a statewide common course Ark. Code Ann. § 6-61-1401 to 1407 numbering numbering system that: 1) provides improved program planning, 2) increases communication among all delivery systems, 3) facilitates the transfer of students and credits between state-supported institutions of higher education, and 4) promotes consistency in course designation and identification.

Current State (ACTS)
Arkansas Course Transfer System (ACTS) • Identify and reduce barriers so that students can reach the highest educational level possible. • Comply with statutes that provide for seamless transfer. • Reduce the number of individual articulation agreements among institutions and establish a statewide transfer system that is simple, accessible, and student friendly
Efforts to Simplify Transfer Statewide common course numbering or mandated compliance with course applicability systems Regional Transfer Workshops • Review the feasibility of establishing a statewide common course numbering system-ACTS • Review recommendations of Mathematics pathways. • Locations: November (ASUJ), December (ATU) February (SEARK) –Agenda on AA Calendar • Roger Phillips Transfer Act Report is required as result of Act 182 of 2009 ACT 182 compliance is only required for 4-year public institutions
