Microcredential Registration

Registration is easy and fast

Microcredentials are available for free to current ACC students, faculty, and staff. Select from the list of available microcredentials, complete the registration form, and you will be enrolled.

If you haven’t already done so, consider attending an online info session. The info session will explain how our microcredentials work and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Things to know before taking a Microcredential

Microcredentials are offered in 5-week sessions, and students must start their microcredential within 7 days of the session start date

Each microcredential requires 20–26 hours of instruction time, plus more for completing assignments

Students have three scheduled meetings with their Digital Navigator, but they can also reach out at any time if they need assistance

Although registration is free, a few microcredentials require a small purchase to complete (see individual microcredentials for details)

Students can earn a portable digital badge by scoring an 80% or better on all assignments and quizzes, AND an 80% or better on the capstone project
