Parking Pass for Spring?

It looks like there are no parking passes available for Spring through the school. Do people resell parking passes? If so, where is a safe place to look for those?

Business college decision help!!

I’m from Texas in the top 10% of my class and my dream school is UT Austin but….. I’m studying business and I highly doubt I will be accepted into mccombs, can’t even bring myself to go to A&M even though I was accepted into their business school. Is it worth it to come to Arkansas for business if I’m not planning on living here after college? I’m also not planning on being in Greek life so I’m just not sure this is the place for me but I would just like some advice on if it’s worth it?

Housing

I’m a incoming freshman and would like a suite type dorm. How hard is it to get a suite dorm with a bathroom as a freshman?

Also, which is the best residence hall as a business related major?

How’s the art department?

Hi all! I’ll be coming to uark in the fall to pursue an art degree at Fulbright. Uark’s supposedly the best art school in the state, but my art teachers have told me that it’s extremely hard to get internships there. People in that department or have already graduated from it, what do you think of Fulbright and its art program?

Can I take Black Politics as a white person?

Hello! I’m a white freshman studying Political Science, and I recently signed up for a Black Politics class. I was initially excited because I thought it would be in a large lecture hall, but I just realized it only has 30 seats available.

Now I’m worried that I might be taking a spot from a Black student who could benefit more from the course or that my presence might come across as insensitive. I’m genuinely interested in learning and engaging respectfully, but I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable or take up space where I shouldn’t.

Do you think it’s okay for me to stay enrolled in the class? Should I reach out to the professor or just drop it altogether? Thanks!

Failing a lecture, but passing the lab portion

So, I'm taking Organic Chemistry II, and I'm not doing well in the lecture part, but I'm doing well for the lab part. If I were to fail the lecture, but pass the lab, would I only need to retake the lecture part only, or do I need to take both the lecture and lab again?

I've tried emailing my advisor, but she's not been helpful.

Dorm room switch

I have an extremely unhygienic roommate who doesn’t shower, do laundry, or brush teeth. EVER! I have tried talking to him about it but still refuses to shower or do laundry. The smell is unbearable and i can’t sleep at night. Is anyone familiar with the process of switching rooms?

What is the best dorm for freshman?

I have been admitted since October and I was wondering what dorm is the best for freshman? I am going to be a poultry science major if that means anything and I’m not planning on rushing any sororities. I have a lot of dorms that I like picked out and need some help narrowing it down. I tend to like lot of sunlight and windows so a dorm that has lots of those would be great! Thank you so much for all help in advance!

I will probably end up going to Founders Hall next to 1021 Food Hall. I'm choosing my meal plan right now and I saw that it closes at like 4pm every day. What if I want dinner later on from the Food Hall and not from Chick-fil-a or something?

How long does it take to find out if accepted to UofArk? I submitted my application as test optional- but the application status still says they are awaiting materials. It reads like they are waiting for test scores, but I noted in application I’m not submitting scores.

Questions on Scholarships

I'm a high school student who is interested in going to UARK but have been wondering how much they tend to help with scholarships. I have a 4.11 GPA with a 28 on my ACT and was wondering if that is any good when applying for the scholarships. I found that the cost to go ends up being around $28,000 a year (i think) which is a price my family can't really afford to pay. Could use tips on what others have done or recommendations on what I could do. thanks.

Does your previous grade in a class get replaced if you retake the class? Does it also replace it for your GPA? Or will both grades show up on my transcript and GPA?

If I were to finish a class with a grade “D” this semester and retake the class during the summer and get a better grade, will it replace my “D” grade on my transcript? And will it also replace my grade for my GPA? Or will both grades show on my transcript?

And what about if I were to withdraw instead? Will it replace the “W” on my transcript or will it remain even if I retook the class?

Asking because I heard that your GPA will take into account both grades instead of replacing it for the better grade I got.

Outside scooter charging

I’ve been keeping and charging my scooter inside my dorm (holcombe) but my RA texted me a few days ago saying i had to start keeping it outside. Is there anywhere I can lock it up for the night and charge it at the same time, or do I have to charge it in my dorm and move it outside when it’s done?
