Austin Community College is streamlining student registration periods beginning with fall 2016 registration, which starts in May.
The early registration period for all current and former students will be the first two weeks of the registration period. All current and former students ― regardless of the number of credits they have ― can register during the early registration period. New, current, and former students may register when open registration begins.
The registration timeframe offers current students the earliest opportunity to schedule the classes they need for degree plans in-progress. It also lets new students register sooner, giving them more time to coordinate any support they need before classes begin.
Tuition payment deadlines will not change.

I’m very surprised! I think that early registration for students with 30+ hours has been a valuable benefit for our students.

Opening registration up to all established students at the same time is going to make it difficult for advanced students in programs with limited section offerings to get into the classes they need in order to complete their program in a timely manner. I’m curious as to who decided to make this change, and what the rational was.

What a thing!
Now that I am in the category “over 30 hours,” the special registration time for “upperclassmen” is gone.

This is complete bull. One aspect of ACC that really works and they ruin it.

This REALLY helps me out! Last semester I couldn’t get into the classes I needed because I don’t have enough hours and there was only one class offered.

“Class Registration” will henceforth be known as, “THUNDERDOME”!
