At North Arkansas College all courses carry identifying department prefixes and numbers that designate the level of the course, whether it is a part of a sequence or a one-semester course.
The numbering system aids students in planning programs. The digits in a course number also indicate the level of the course and whether it will carry college credit. Explanation of that system is as follows:
Digits from |
Level/Credit Explanation |
0001-0999 |
College Preparatory classes that do not count toward associate degree requirements nor are they intended for transfer. |
1000-1999 |
Freshmen level courses designed for the associate degree at North Arkansas College or for transfer to other institutions of higher education. |
2000-2899 |

2900-2999 |
Special project courses, which may carry 1-5 hours credit which may or may not transfer to other institutions. |
The college reserves the right to cancel courses each semester for which adequate enrollment cannot be maintained.
The last digit of each four-digit number indicates the number of credit hours for the course.
Courses are alphabetized according to their prefix, not department.
In order for pre-requisite courses to be considered complete, a “C” or better must be obtained.
