Registration Fees

Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in CHP programs, including post-bachelor's degree certificates and the M.I.S. and Au.D. degree programs, pay an hourly rate for tuition.  Graduate students enrolled in the UAMS Graduate School, including M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs, and who are enrolled in 9 SC or fewer pay an hourly rate, with 10 SC or more considered a full-time load.

Note: Some undergraduate CHP programs admit only full-time students (at least 12 SC per semester).

For the latest information on registration fees, please call the CHP Office of Admissions (501) 686-5730.

The classification of Arkansas resident vs. non-resident is determined on the basis of the legal domicile of students. In general, an applicant must be a bona fide resident of Arkansas - not solely in the state for the purpose of education - for at least six (6) consecutive months prior to registration to be classified as a resident student. Complete regulations and forms for requesting a change in classification may be obtained from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Telephone: (501) 686-5689.

Native Americans in other states belonging to tribes which formerly lived in Arkansas before relocation, and whose names are on the rolls in tribal headquarters, shall be classified as in-state students of Arkansas for tuition and fee purposes (but not for consideration for admission) on all campuses of the University of Arkansas. Tribes so identified include the Caddo, Cherokee, Choctaw, Osage, and Quapaw.

Students residing in Bowie and Cass counties in Texas are eligible for in-state tuition and fees (but are not considered Arkansas residents for purposes of admission). For more information about registration fees, contact the CHP Office of Student Affairs, Administration West, 328C. Telephone: (501) 686-5730.

If a student who has been accepted has submitted the enrollment deposit and is unable to enroll, the deposit will be held for application to the first term tuition of the next year should the student reapply and receive acceptance. If more than one year has passed, the deposit is forfeited.

Enrollment Deposit For Physician Assistant Applicants Only
