Steps to Apply to ACC
Preparing for Classes
Pay for your courses. Pay close attention to tuition payment deadlines. Not paying on time will get you dropped from your courses!
Tuition may be free, but you are still responsible for certain course fees and textbooks. Some classes require a "First Day Fee" be paid to cover the book or other instructional materials offered to you on the first day of class.
Obtain an ACC student ID card on campus
Purchase textbooks and supplies for your classes
Log in to your Blackboard account and become familiar with the tools and resources available to you there. Many professors use this for grade postings, online submission of assignments, announcements, discussion boards, etc.
You'll want to access the online listing of ACC's Course Schedule to determine which courses are offered, when, where, and how.
Transfer Information
Although these are some useful tools that may assist you in finding courses to start with or to transfer, it is always encouraged that you meet with your Academic Advisor at ACC or the college you are primarily attending to get their expert insight.
