ACC’s College Prep Program, a free college preparation course for adults, is now accepting applications for the summer semester. Applications are due Wednesday, May 17.
The free 12-week program, offered by ACC’s Adult Education Division, helps high school graduates and GED earners pass the TSI Test, the state assessment required for entering college, and become college ready. Students receive career counseling and one-on-one guidance completing college admissions and financial aid applications.
Participants practice reading, writing, and math while learning proven study strategies for college entrance exams and tests. A math-focused track also is available. The College Prep Program pays for TSI Test fees and preparation materials.
To be eligible, you must be a legal U.S. resident, at least 17 years old, and have a GED or high school diploma. Current and former developmental education students are encouraged to apply.
Applicants participate in a brief interview before enrolling and must maintain an 85 percent attendance rate for the course.
For more information and to register, visit austincc.edu/transitions or contact Charlene Gill at 512-223-7454 or email [email protected].

Hi, Theresa
The application deadline for summer has technically passed, but your daughter is still more than welcome to apply for the summer classes. Occasionally, a seat does open up, so it is possible she could be selected. She can apply by submitting the student admission, which she’ll find on our webpage: http://www.austincc.edu/degrees-and-certificates/find-classes/college-skills-and-career-planning/college-prep-program. Feel free to call us at 512-223-7454 or 512-223-7477 if you have any questions.
