Transcripts uploaded to applications or sent from the student directly via email are considered unofficial. All transcripts must be sent officially directly from the institution. If you have not already sent the official transcript(s) for the schools listed below to ACC, please do so as soon as possible to prevent a registration hold from being placed on your record.  Please note, high school transcripts must show a final graduation date. 

• First-time college students: Please request an official copy of your high school transcript or GED diploma — unofficial transcripts are not required.

• Students with previous college credit: Request an official transcript from each college/university attended. To best serve you while we wait for your official transcripts to arrive, you may upload an unofficial transcript from your most recent college/university attended to the Supplemental Documents section of your application account. We do not require your high school transcript or GED certificate. 

Important: Unsubmitted transcripts will affect your ability to be awarded and disbursed financial aid. If you applied for financial aid, all transcripts must be received and your transcript hold must be closed before you can be awarded and/or funds can be disbursed. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at finaid@austincc.edu or 512-223-4636 if you have questions about how this could affect your eligibility.

Blackboard is an online learning tool that ACC students use to view course material. In a fully online format, the teacher might assign all materials to the students digitally, communicate outside of class using online tools, and have students discuss and collaborate online. In a hybrid model, the class might meet in person only once a week and use Blackboard activities that students complete outside the course. Finally, for the classes that may be face-to-face, instructors may post supporting materials like syllabi, assignments, or optional discussions online. 

For instructions on how to get started with Blackboard, including login, password information, finding your classes and tutorials watch the following video: Getting Started With Blackboard
