The only source of knowledgeis experience.
-Albert Einstein
Through hands-on learning and knowledgeable faculty,
Southern Arkansas University is able to provide you with an
education that will give you the experience needed to thrive
in your field of study. That is why we encourage anyone who is
considering higher education to experience SAU!
You will also find help to finance your college education in the SAU Office of Financial Aid. The friendly staff in the Office of Financial Aid helps 84 percent of SAU students receive some type of financial assistance each year. Forms of financial aid include Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, work study, and loans.
For more information, call the Office of Financial Aid at (870) 235-4023 or visit our website www.saumag.edu/finaid.
To enroll as an undergraduate student at Southern Arkansas University, an entering freshman must submit the following:
An application for a residence hall room, along with a deposit, must also be submitted if you wish to live in a campus residence hall.
Unconditional Admission for Beginning Students
Beginning students who have ACT scores of 19 or higher on the English, mathematics, and reading parts of the ACT examination, completed the core curriculum, and graduated from high school will be admitted unconditionally to Southern Arkansas University.
Beginning students who do not qualify for unconditional admission but who have received a composite ACT score of 16 or higher or are ranked in the top quarter of their graduating class will be conditionally admitted to SAU. Students admitted with conditions must successfully complete all developmental courses in a regular and consistent manner and complete 12 hours of core academic courses with a 2.0 grade point average within the first 30 semester hours of college-level credit.
The four developmental courses are fundamentals of reading, fundamentals of writing, fundamentals of mathematics, and intermediate algebra. Successful completion in a regular and consistent manner means that required developmental courses be taken each semester the student is registered. If two or more developmental courses are required, the student must register for at least two developmental courses. (Fundamentals of mathematics and intermediate algebra cannot be taken concurrently.)
GED, Home School, and Charter School Graduates
These students are admitted by virtue of their ACT scores.
Non-Traditional Students
Students who are 25 years of age or older are admitted regardless of their ACT scores, but they must submit ACT scores to determine whether they must take developmental courses.
Academic scholarsh ips are awarded based on grade-point average, class rank, and ACT or SAT score. Performance scholarships are available in art, band, choir, and theatre. Other scholarships are available in athletics and rodeo.
If you are eligible for an academic or performance scholarship, any other financial aid you are awarded may be applied to other costs each semester, such as books and supplies (some restrictions apply). The priority deadline to apply for a scholarship is March 1, unless funds are depleted prior to this date. Call the Office of Admissions at 1-800-332-7286 for more information.
Before you attend your first class, you must first be officially admitted to the
University. All questions about the admissions process should be addressed to the Office
of Admissions which receives and processes all undergraduate applications and issues letters of
admission to qualified applicants.

If you would like to move from the stands to the playing field, the
University offers intramural activities, competitions, and the newly
developed Club Sports Program for those who enjoy team sports
as well as those who would rather compete on an individual
basis. The program works hand-in-hand with the Department of
Health, Kinesiology, and Recreation and serves as an arena for
its majors to develop their interests and skills.

The annual spring concert series
always brings excitement to the
campus with artists ranging from
Tracy Lawrence to Sean Kingston
(pictured above).
Living on campus will play a big part in your college experience. You will gain a sense of independence and confidence by meeting the challenges of liv-ing on your own for the first time. You can be sure that living in a residence hall will be one of the most rewarding and memorable times of your college career.
There is no place like home; however, you will find the residential communities at SAU offer a friendly atmosphere conducive to growth and study. You will achieve a greater understanding of the people around you, gain valuable knowledge, and make lifelong friends.
The annual RHA Bed Race is a must see. Every year during SAU’s Family Day celebration the Residence Hall Association organizes this very entertaining and occasionally dangerous race that allows different campus organizations a chance to see who has the fastest bed on campus.
Southern Arkansas University strives to provide the best possible housing at a
reasonable cost. Sure, it is different than living at home; however, when you live on
campus, you are right in the middle of the action, close to classes, labs, computers, college
activities, athletic facilities, and the library. National studies have shown that when you live on campus, you’re more likely to excel in academics and enjoy your college years than your classmates who live off campus.
SAU wants your living experience to be a great one, something you will always remember. To help you solve the small, day-to-day problems, resident assistants are assigned to help you. These staff members are assigned night duty and are always available in case of emergencies.

Residential Interest Groups (RIGs) are living and learning options for all students living in the residence halls at SAU. Groups will live together on a specific floor based on their interests, although it does not necessarily have to be their major.
RIG communities also foster a living and learning environment through campus involvement, academic support, and student and professional staff members committed to helping students succeed during their college careers. The student staff members are campus leaders who live with students and offer many opportunities to get involved on campus and be successful in the classroom.
In the University Village Apartments, you will enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with ameni-ties such as a pool, fully-fur-nished living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a clubhouse, just to name a few. You will find everything you need for today’s busy student while still enjoying the benefits of l iving on campus.
The University Village Apartments offer two-bedroom and four-bedroom units for juniors, seniors, graduate students, single parents, and married stu-dents. As a more mature student, you have earned the right to expect the “little extras” life has to offer.

Southern Arkansas University would like to help you reach your career goals through the SAU Honors College, which recognizes significant academic achievement.
Students in the program will find the courses to be both challenging and rewarding. In addition, the Honors College will provide students with an opportunity for a quiet living/learning environment in a designated residence hall.
Students who complete the course requirements of the Honors College will receive special recognition at graduation and will receive the distinction as “Southern Arkansas University Honors College Scholar” on their transcripts and diplomas.
We admit first-year and transfer students based upon a global assessment of academic potential. We examine ACT scores, high school GPA, required submitted essays, letters of recommendation and other relevant information. Current SAU students who have earned at least a 3.5 GPA may petition the Honors College for admission. Incoming freshmen in 2011 will receive an iPad 2 at no charge in lieu of the usual $600 dollar per year stipend. The iPad will be theirs to keep and will be delivered in Honors Seminar the first week of class.
For more information, please contact Dr. Ed Kardas, professor of psychology and director of Honors College, at
[email protected] or (870) 235-4231.

The Residential College is a living and learning option for freshman students. It focuses on students’ academic and personal success through service learning.
You will appreciate the exhilaration of giving back through obtaining the benchmark of 15 service hours each semester. Last year’s RC group completed campus projects, then put their skills to the test as they participated in a St. Louis initiative to Adopt-a-Block during a group trip.
