On warm afternoons, students can be found studying, visiting with friends and listening to music around Harding Centennial Plaza. The fountain and plaza area is a signature landmark and a popular location for campus events.

Students who prefer a quiet place to study often turn to Torreyson Library where a 24-hour study center is available along with computers, reference materials, group meeting rooms and an on-site Starbucks.

The student center is where you will find activities such as movie nights, guest speakers and musical performances. It is also the home to the campus bookstore, post office, convenience store, coffee shop and food court.

courts, a walk/jog track, an exercise class studio and a fitness center complete with a full slate of cardio and strength-training equipment. Students can also get in touch with nature and take a jog along the gravel trail through the Jewel Moore Nature Reserve, located just outside the HPER Center.

BEAR PRIDE UCA Mascot

In 1920, the Bear became the mascot for UCA teams. The Bear was appropriate because Arkansas’ nickname was the “Bear State.” In the early years, the women’s teams were called the Bearettes, but were later renamed the Sugar Bears.

Bear Growl

On campus, there is greater access to the library, computer and study labs and greater interaction with faculty.

RESIDENTIAL COLLEGES

My Place to Live and Learn

UCA RESIDENTIAL COLLEGES: Hughes State Short-Denney

Residential colleges are more than just places to stay; they are co-educational living and learning communities that connect to every aspect of student life.

Residential College students take classes together and participate in social and civic activities such as raising money for Heifer Project International, field trips, camping and intramural sports.

Students enrolled in residential colleges

earn higher grades and are more likely to return to college after completing their first year. A full-time UCA faculty member lives in each residential college, and older students serve as mentors.

For additional information or to request an application, call the Residential Colleges Recruitment Team at (501) 450-5969, send an email to residentialcolleges@uca. edu or visit www.uca.edu/residential.

technology WIRELESS CAMPUS Roaming the campus with your wireless laptop is a reality at UCA. UCA students can now connect to the Internet anytime, anywhere on campus. This means students can do research while sipping java in the cafe or browse UCA’s virtual library while lounging at Harding Centennial Plaza.

HIGH-TECH BUILDINGS Each new building at UCA is designed from the ground up to take advantage of technological advancements now and in the future.

VIRTUAL LIBRARY UCA students have a wide range of options for online access to library services.

Search for books, renew books, visit the virtual reference desk and review journal articles without entering the library.

ONLINE LEARNING

GET CONNECTED The University of Central Arkansas has embraced technology. Newly adopted technologies have changed the way UCA students learn and interact with the university, their professors, the outside world and one another.

LAPTOP PROGRAM

Why buy a laptop when you can lease one from UCA? Students who are accepted into the laptop lease program have free access to help desk support where they will be assisted with any technical questions, services, repairs, etc.

#31

At UCA, students learn online through the Blackboard system that allows them to sign-in to complete homework, participate in online discussions, take quizzes and receive grades electronically.

ONLINE, NOT IN LINE UCA students log in to URSA (University Resources for Students and Administration) for instant access to hundreds of campus resources such as campus announcements, student activities, class schedules and even the cafeteria menu.

I would highly recommend the Laptop Initiative Program. If you have a problem with your laptop, they are right there on campus and fix it free of charge.
