Student Life, Safety & Support

There are plenty of activities for students and the general public at ASU-Beebe.  First, take some time to learn about Campus Connect, a very important tool for every student.  You can also stay informed about campus events with the Campus Update and become involved in intramural sports and social organizations.  The Student Handbook is updated each year and is very important for all students to know.  We would also appreciate any interest you have in becoming one of our Student Ambassadors!

Guidance Services

One of the most important parts of our university is its Guidance Services department.  Located on the second floor of the Student Center, the staff offer counseling for personal matters, career, and job placement.  If you haven't taken the ACT or Compass tests, our Testing services help you get started--these test scores are called "Placement Scores."  You should also know that the ASU-Beebe system provides disability services to support those with a documented learning or physical issue.
