Textbooks: What do you need?

So how exactly do you know which textbook is needed for your ACC dual-credit course? You have a couple of options, outlined here on ACC's website.

Textbooks: buying, renting, or scholarships

Here are a few recommended options for obtaining your textbooks:

Buy textbooks from the ACC bookstore in person or order from their website.
Purchase textbooks from other websites like Amazon, Half.com, Barnes & Noble, or Abe Books. They usually offer new and used options.
Rent textbooks from sites such as Chegg and Campus Book Rentals.
Borrow a book from Ms. Kendall - see what is available

TEXTBOOK SCHOLARSHIPS:

If you have financial need, please see Ms. Kendall for books available to be checked out for free or information on how to receive a scholarship to help pay for your textbook. The Leander Educational Excellence Foundation has generously set aside funds to support dual-credit students and have allowed us to start a small collection of books to lend to students: Scholarship Application. Additionally, ACC has textbook scholarships available for Dual Credit students, Apply Here.

Where can I verifY my course schedule or ACC grades?

On the ACC website, students can log in to Self-Service to view course registration, professor information, meeting time, etc. To view official grades, students must login to Online Services and access the Student Menu of services. Here, students can find their unofficial transcript, as well as order transcripts to be sent to colleges and universities.

How can I find out more about a professor before registering?

First, if there is a link provided on the ACC schedule listing, click on that to see what kind of information might be posted on their website and syllabus. Otherwise, you can also try Rate My Professor to get some insight from previous students' ratings of the professor.

which courses will transfer?

ACC provides helpful information about courses that will transfer va their University Transfer & Equivalency Guide.

If the university you plan to attend cannot be found from the TCCNS searchable matrix or the university's website, it is best to contact their registrar's office to determine what will transfer (and what won't).

How can I prepare for the US History STAAR Exam?

If you are taking US History through ACC, you are still expected to take and pass the US History STAAR exam as a graduation requirement. The test is offered three times a year: December, May, and June For specific dates, contact Ms. Kendall or reference the above calendar.

Withdrawing from a Course

Be sure you have spoken with your professor to fully understand where you are in the course and resources available to support you. We do not want you to drop a course that you have potential to pass and earn credit!
If you feel it is in your best interest to withdraw, schedule a meeting with Ms. Kendall to discuss withdrawal, options for credit, and potential impact to your high school schedule and academic plan.
After or while meeting with Ms. Kendall, follow these instructions to formally withdraw from the course if it is decided this is the appropriate course of action.
