The University requires freshmen to take the American College Test (ACT) prior to enrollment and to have the Student Profile Report on file with the Office of Admissions and Records. The test is administered several times during the year at specified places throughout Arkansas and the nation. For students unable to take the ACT during their senior year in high school, the University will administer the test during registration. Students are advised, however, to take this test during their junior and senior years in high school.

Communication concerning admission should be addressed to Admissions and Academic Records, University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Pine Bluff, AR 71601. Prospective students should send applications and transcripts so that the documents reach the Admissions Office at least one month prior to registration for the semester in which the student expects to enroll. Otherwise, the applicant may be unable to register for the term desired. The official of the student’s last institution attended, i.e., counselor, principal, registrar, etc., must mail transcripts to the Office of Admissions and Academic Records. The student must make the request for the transcript.
