The state of Arkansas has approved Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary education.
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) establishes a state-level reciprocity process that will support the nation in its efforts to increase the educational attainment of its people by making state authorization:
- more efficient, effective, and uniform in regard to necessary and reasonable standards of practice that could span states;
- more effective in dealing with quality and integrity issues that have arisen in some online/ distance education offerings; and
- less costly for states and institutions and, thereby, the students they serve.
Distance learning students from out of state with complaints should try to resolve them at UA Cossatot and then appeal to ADHE if the complaint is not resolved. Here is the ADHE grievance form: https://adhe.edu/students-parents/student-grievance-form
Additional NC-SARA Complaint information can be found here. NC-SARA Physical Presence information can be found by clicking here. NC-SARA Field Experiences information can be located here. To learn more about NC-SARA, click here.

Return of Title IV Policy
This requirement applies to students who receive federal student aid (Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, but not Federal Work-Study) and completely terminate enrollment prior to completing 60% of the enrollment period.
Termination of enrollment can be the result of any of the following actions:
- Student initiates an official withdrawal from UA Cossatot
- Student is administratively dropped by instructors from all courses due to non-attendance.
- Student is administratively withdrawn from all courses as a result of disciplinary action.
- Students receiving all Fâs are considered to have unofficially withdrawn. The drop date is determined by the last day of attendance (LDA) provided by the instructor.
The amount of Title IV aid an institution must refund to the federal aid programs
is determined by the Federal Return to Title IV funds formula as specified in Section
484B of the Higher Education Act. Cossatot Community College utilizes software provided
by the U.S. Department of Education to calculate the amount of aid that must be refunded
which was initially used to pay institutional charges. The last day of attendance
(LDA) provided on drop form will be utilized to document the last date of enrollment.
If the drop is an unofficial drop, instructors provide LDA at the end of the semester
and the Return of Title IV calculation is processed.
UA Cossatot returns unearned aid used to pay institutional charges in the following
order within 45 days of the withdrawal determination:
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplanted Educational Opportunity Grant
- Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants
A repayment may also be required of the student when a refund check has been issued to a student from financial aid funds in excess of the amount used to pay institutional charges that the student fails to earn by maintaining enrollment. If the student owes a repayment, the student has 45 days to repay the funding. If the student does not pay the funding within 45 days, CCCUA will notify the U.S. Department of Education that the student is in overpayment.
Students are notified by letter if the student owes funding to Cossatot Community College or the U.S. Department of Education.
If a student earns more aid than was disbursed, the student may be eligible to receive a post-withdrawal disbursement. Students are notified by mail of their eligibility for such a disbursement. A post-withdrawal of grant funds is automatically credited to the studentâs account for outstanding charges.
Withdrawal from College
Students must contact Student Services (studentservices@cccua.edu) to complete a total withdraw from the college. Contact points may include phone, email, or in-person.
Students withdrawing prior to the last day to withdraw will receive a âWâ on their transcript. Failure to officially withdraw will result in an âFâ being posted to the studentâs transcript. It is also the studentâs responsibility to pay the appropriate tuition, fees, and other charges.

UAC Colts College Athletic Programs
UA Cossatot Soccer
Justin Hinman was chosen to head the new soccer program at UA Cossatot. Born and raised in Little Rock, Hinman comes to UAC from National Park College, where he was the assistant menâs and womenâs soccer coach as well as the head goalkeeper coach for both Nighthawks teams.
Hinman was a goalkeeper for Little Rock Catholic High from 2013-17. He played collegiately at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK, where he was named All-Conference, and All-Region. He wrapped up his college career at the University of Dayton, where he was a part of their Atlantic 10 Championship season of 2021. He went on to be the starting goalkeeper for the Little Rock Rangers of the USL 2.
UA Cossatot Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole praised Hinman for his energy and his vision for the Coltsâ new soccer program. âI believe Coach Hinman is a builder, and starting this fall, we will have a home for a lot of athletes, men, and women. We encourage student-athletes to come be a Colt and be a part of something special.â
Coltsâ Athletic Director Stan Asumnu said he was âexcited to have Coach Hinman here. Justin is bright, has some great ideas, and wants to grow the sport of soccer in Arkansas.â
Hinman is familiar with De Queen, having played against the Leopards in high school. âIâm excited to be here. I am well aware of the soccer tradition here. This is a great opportunity to expand the sport and put UA Cossatot on the map as a junior college powerhouse.â
Coach Hinman can be reached at jhinman@cccua.edu.
UA Cossatot Shooting Sports
The Colts are competing at the NJCAA Division II level in menâs and womenâs clay target shooting. Brett Blackburn serves as the shooting sports coach.
UA Cossatot Chancellor Dr. Steve Cole added, âShooting sports has become mainstream, especially in our area, and with the incredible interest from our local high school student-athletes, it just made sense for UA Cossatot to offer this sport for all men and women with interest in shooting sports.â
UA Cossatot has competed as a member of NJCAA Division II Region 2 in menâs and womenâs basketball for the past three seasons. Clay target shooting is the first sport added to the UA Cossatot athletic department since joining the NJCAA, with preliminary plans for future sports under consideration.
UA Cossatot Clay Shooting Coach Brett Blackburn said, âThe shooting program will build on the foundation started by high school and Jr high students of the AYSSP program from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. We look forward to building on these skills as the student-athletes grow as citizens and competitors at the collegiate level. Go Colts!â
