Which courses should I take? Will they transfer? 

TCCNS - the Texas Common Course Numbering System allows you to compare institutions to determine the equivalency 

Transferology.com - this site may help you find equivalencies if attending an out-of-state school. It's always best to confirm transfer credits with the college you are intending on transferring to. 

WHAT IS DISTANCE LEARNING?

Distance Learning is the term ACC uses for courses offered in an online format. This format gives students more scheduling options and a wider selection of classes to meet individual needs. Meanwhile, course content and transferability is identical to classes offered on campus and in-person. Distance Learning is NOT available to students wishing to participate in ECS+ or Senior Cohorts. 

Distance Learning is not for everyone. You need to know yourself as a learner. Do not take distance learning options if you are not a self-starter and on top of all of your work, regularly. Some courses are more manageable as distance learning than others. Be sure to talk with Mr. Nelson if you're considering taking a course as distance learning. 

TIPS FOR SUCCESS IN DISTANCE LEARNING CLASSES

1. Prep your technology. You will need a computer, web access, and in some cases a web cam or headphones. Keep these items charged, ready to go.

2. Dedicate time for your course. Carve out structured time specifically allotted to dedicate to each of your online courses. This could be every day, every Mon/Wed, mornings, evenings...think about when you work best and are most focused.

3. Choose a workspace. Find a place that is free of distractions (siblings, TV, etc.) and comfortable where you can stay focused. Find a desk, dining room table, etc. - couches and beds may be your productivity nemesis!

4. Use your online tools. Check Blackboard and your ACCemail regularly. This is how professors will communicate with you.

5. Team up! There is power in accountability. Connect with other students in your class to check-in, discuss learning, or study together.

6. Plan & organize. Map out due dates. Set reminders on your phone. Break out big tasks into smaller, manageable chunks.
