There is no option of "vacation and forwarding" on the menu on the left. Only Table of Contents, Log In, and ITS home.

To see the menu, go to http://uamail.uark.edu and log in with your UARK username and password. After you log in, you will see the menu that links to Vacation & Forwarding.

I check the forward button but my email is not yet being forwarded? Is there a delay that occurs before forwarding starts? I do have an exchange account.
