Steps for New Student Onboarding
Step 1
Complete the Riverbat Student Onboarding to familiarize yourself with ACC and our processes as a traditional college student.
Step 2
After you complete this orientation, you will receive a link to schedule a session with our advisors for any additional support you need.
**If you are unable to find a group advising session that works for your schedule, there are additional options, including drop-in hours (on campus and online) and online appointments to help you.
Step 3
Once you begin classes at ACC, you will be assigned a dedicated academic advisor.
Steps for Visiting Students
Follow these steps if you are a student taking classes at our college for one semester, with plans to transfer those credits back to your home college or university. You are not seeking a degree at ACC and are just completing specific courses you need.
Once all Admissions steps and holds are resolved, you can meet with an Advisor.
All ACC students can request official ACC transcripts FREE of charge. To transfer your credit to another school, please follow the transcript request steps online at https://admissions.austincc.edu/order-an-acc-transcript/
Important note: If you have a hold in Self Service that says “You must meet with an Advisor,” ACC does not have your complete set of TSI scores. Complete the Retrieve TSI Assessment Scores form or submit proof of test exemption (TSI completion). For more information, visit https://admissions.austincc.edu/tsi-assessment/
If you will be taking classes on campus, make sure you get your meningitis vaccination record on file: https://www.austincc.edu/admissions/meningitis-requirement. This hold does not block registration.
Send your transcripts to ACC Admissions
If you have not already sent the official transcript(s) for the schools you attended to ACC, please do so as soon as possible to prevent a registration hold being placed on your record. Please note, high school transcripts must show a final graduation date.
Send your transcripts to ACC Admissions
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, 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.
First-time in college students:
Please request an official copy of your high school transcript or GED® diploma — unofficial transcripts are not required.
