College Fairs
College Fairs are a perfect opportunity for you to visit with college representatives, ask questions and pick up college information. These fairs are typically held in the fall here at UCA. In addition to looking on the website for new information, keep an eye open to the “Counselor’s Corner” e-mails for more information about upcoming college fairs.
Visiting Colleges
Fall and spring are prime times for students and parents to explore colleges. Many colleges offer visitation days and/or weekends for prospective students to “try out” a campus. The admission staff plans activities for students, including attending events and classes, setting up campus tours, and organizing financial aid meetings or seminars. It is a great benefit to see a college alive with students and activities to determine if it is a good fit for you.

Dual Enrollment Opportunity - ACCELerate
Get a head start on college with UCA’s ACCELerate Program. Through dual enrollment, students earn college credit while developing the academic, personal, and spiritual foundations to thrive in college and beyond.
As students grow academically, personally, and spiritually, they gain a competitive advantage in the college admissions process—standing out as prepared, purpose-driven leaders ready for what God has next.

Summer Programs
Many colleges offer summer programs on their campuses for high school juniors. These opportunities provide experience at the college while living there, attending classes and interacting with professors. It is beneficial for students to take advantage of these offerings and to possibly earn early college credit.
