The Adult Education Program at UAM-CTC is designed to strengthen
an individual’s academic skills in reading, language, math,
and other subjects. The program is open to individuals eighteen
(18) years of age or over who are not enrolled in a high school.
An applicant for enrollment may be asked to provide proof of age.
Enrollment of individuals under the age of 18 is governed by Act
1659 of 2001 and Act 604 of 2003. The program serves non-high
school graduates desiring to earn a high school equivalency diploma
(GED) as well as high school graduates who need academic refresher
courses to prepare for employment tests, college and military
entrance tests, etc.
There is no cost for classes in the Adult Education Program, and
all classes operate on an open-entry/open-exit basis. Orientation
and assessment sessions are scheduled on a regular basis. A student
is not officially enrolled in the Adult Education Program until
he/she has completed 12 hours of classroom instruction. Because
the U.S. Department of Education and the Arkansas Department of
Workforce Education mandate the 12-hour attendance requirement,
students are urged to attend at least 12 hours before leaving
the program.
Adult education classes are offered on the UAM-CTC campus and
in Hamburg during the day and night and at other locations based
on demand. To view a schedule of available times, please
