University of Arkansas Virtual Visit, April 29th



I am going to be hosting a virtual visit for Lake Travis and Dripping Springs students next week and I wanted to pass the registration link along in case you wanted to send it out to your students. They will have to register via the link but then they can hop on and get a small presentation and have their questions answered if needed.


Virtual Visit Info:
Wednesday, April 29th
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM

The new Virtual Experiences at the U of A site allows students to watch our general campus presentation from admissions counselors, provides the opportunity to tour campus from the comfort of their home, and features short take videos of various colleges, departments, and groups from the U of A.


Our communications team has created online platforms for admissions staff to host individual, virtual chats with students, host group presentations, and even visit students through virtual lunch visits via webinar. All of this is currently up and running and will be updated every two weeks. So, if you/your students do not see an event near you at this time, please come back and look as new things are added to the calendar.  

Our goal is that we remain as accessible as possible to students during this time of social distancing. We are excited to provide these resources to your students during these circumstances, knowing nothing replaces in-person meetings or true campus visits. We know technology is a tool at our disposal, but transitioning is much easier said than done.

We understand not all students have adequate access to the internet. So should a student be seeking resources for their college readiness, we are still able to meet with that student by phone, text, or by mailing resources to him or her. Please let us know how we can best assist you and your students should these needs arise.

As well, with these changes, we have made adjustments to how we accept documentation for students.
High School Transcripts – Official can be emailed directly from counselor and unofficial transcripts from the student to the respective recruiter
ACT/SAT – Students can download the PDF version of their score and upload directly to their UARK New Student Center
AP Tests – We will be accepting the scores from the new at home AP tests
Slate.org – We allow counselors to upload transcripts, test scores, fee waiver documents, etc. into https://slate.org/
