Major
Major Exploration Coaching
Many students are undecided about their majors when entering college, while others who think they have decided on a major will change their minds multiple times before graduation. That is why we have exploration coaches.
Through working with an exploration coach, students will
- explore resources to clarify the decision to change your major;
- confidently be able to select a major based on interests, skills, and career aspirations;
- understand key major change processes; and
- connect with people who will assist with changing your major.

Title IX and Mandatory Reporting
Faculty and staff are required to report sex discrimination, sexual harassment, and incidents of abuse or neglect of minors
Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. Title IX states that:
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
For incidents of abuse or neglect of minors, Arkansas law requires reporting of abuse or neglect to the Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-482-5964) established by the Department of Human Services. University employees and volunteers must also report such instances to the University of Arkansas Police Department at 479-575-2222.
Transportation
Bus
Razorback Transit provides bus routes to and from campus and various parts of Fayetteville. The interactive PassioGo map shows the routes and real-time bus tracking.
Scooter
Two outside companies provide e-scooter rentals in the Fayetteville community. E-scooters may be ridden anywhere that bicycles are allowed. The core of campus is a slow zone, meaning stay below 6 mph and be considerate of fellow travelers.
Parking
Permits for students are available in several classifications, and our new parking map helps outline the renumbered parking lots. Remember that before home games and other special events, certain parking lots do have to be vacated. Parking tickets can be handled online.
