If I am the parent/guardian of a student, can ASU-Beebe discuss my student's grades or tuition bill with me directly?

Information related to a student's concurrent enrollment may be released to the parent/guardian who has signed their student enrollment form and provided their contact information. 

Can I take remedial courses concurrently? 

ASU-Beebe does not allow secondary school students to enroll in remedial/developmental education courses for concurrent credit. Remedial/developmental education courses cannot be used to meet the high school or university core subject area/unit requirements in English or math.

Will my concurrent classes be transferable to colleges other than ASU-Beebe?

Any general education class taken concurrently with ASU-Beebe will be transferrable to all public colleges and universities in Arkansas. Private colleges in the state also accept most classes, but students should contact the Registrar's Office of any private colleges they are considering before enrolling.  

With the Arkansas Department of Higher Education's Course Transfer System (ACTS), students can view how general education courses transfer from and to the various Arkansas public colleges and universities. Using this information, students, parents, and school personnel can select an institution from the list provided and view how courses transfer. Some majors will have different requirements or may substitute courses for their program. Most institutions require a letter grade of "C" or better for transfer.

How do I transfer my classes to other colleges? 

After graduating high school, students must order a transcript from the National Student Clearinghouse by visiting the Registrar's Office.  

What if my high school doesn't teach concurrent classes with ASU-Beebe?

Students may still enroll in classes for concurrent credit either online or on one of ASU-Beebe's campuses if permitted by their school counselor. Students who wish to take concurrent classes that attend a non-partner high school will also need to complete the Concurrent Enrollment Verification form in addition to the Concurrent Enrollment Policy/Parent Consent form. 

What is the difference between concurrent enrollment and AP classes? 

In a concurrent class, college credit is conferred based on your cumulative effort in the class, and a letter grade is added to your ASU-Beebe transcript. In AP courses, students must pass a standardized test at the end of the year to determine if they will be awarded college credit. Each college and university accepts different AP scores. 

Can I drop a concurrent course? 

Students taking concurrent classes can withdraw or drop from a class and will follow the same procedures and deadlines as a regularly enrolled ASU-Beebe student. Concurrent students may be refunded their paid concurrent tuition if they submit their refund drop form to the Office of Concurrent Enrollment by the drop date listed in the ASU-Beebe Academic Calendar. 

Can I use ASU-Beebe's Student Services as a Concurrent Student? 

Yes, all students taking concurrent classes are guaranteed access to ASU-Beebe's library, tutoring center, advising offices, and other student services on campus.
