IMPORTANT REMINDER
You must have an appointment to be seen in our office.
SIGN UP HERE
DEADLINE THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
The Office of First Year Experience is once again hosting a gigantic meal packing event on Saturday 9/14 with two shifts of meal packing volunteers and a goal of packing 100,000 meals, but we need your help! If you are interested in volunteering, please visit the GivePulse event to sign up for a shift, and please help us spread the word to the students you work with using the attached flyer!
This event is not limited to first-year students, and it's a great opportunity for team building among the group of 6-8 people who work each station for the 2-hour shift! If you need any accommodations (like needing to sit down while serving), please just let me know.
We can't wait to see you there!
Thinking about Grad School?
International students who have received a degree or certificate from UCA and who are enrolled in a graduate program at UCA are eligible to receive out-of-state tuition waivers if they complete these steps:
Join the UCA Alumni Association (pay as little as $15 if you are a recent graduate)
Complete this form: Out of state tuition fee waiver. Please note: You must complete the waiver request form for each semester you are enrolled. You only need to renew your Alumni Association membership once per year.
All students who live in campus housing are eligible for the out of state tuition scholarship. UCA Alumni who are active members of the Alumni Association may live off campus and pay in-state tuition if they have joined the Alumni Association and completed the required form.
Please feel free to ask any of us in CGLE if you have any questions.
Graduating in December 2024?
Are you an undergraduate or post-baccalaureate student expecting to graduate at the end of the Fall 2024 semester? If the answer is "yes", you can go to myUCA and click on the Graduation icon to begin the process. Your request will start the review of your academic record by the Registrar's Office. They can alert you if there is a need for additional classes or any problem with transfer credits.
