Adult Education

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 detailed information in the Adult Education Handbook, please click here.
