Registration begins soon for Austin Community College District’s (ACC) fall 2024 semester. Enrollment begins Monday, May 13, for current students and opens to everyone on Friday, May 17. New students should APPLY now so that they can REGISTER when the window opens.

Students are encouraged to register early because high-demand classes fill up fast. Since ACC announced the Free Tuition Pilot Program for the high school class of 2024, as of Monday, May 6, applications are up more than 46%, since April 1 compared to the same time frame last year. The pilot program offers free tuition and general fees for new high school grads, including public, private, charter, and homeschoolers, as well as for GED® completers who live in the ACC service area. 

“No matter where you are in life, ACC is the place to start. We don’t just make sense financially. We make sense for your learning. This college is a place that is going to wrap our students in love and challenge them to whatever is next,” says ACC Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart. “We are doing the work to eliminate barriers so students can come, persist, graduate, and get a job to lead to a family-sustaining wage. Our data shows we are moving the needle in the right direction to do just that. We’re ready to welcome anyone to ACC.”

Due to the strong demand, the college is now exploring where and how to provide additional courses to meet student needs. ACC’s fall schedule includes options to fit all schedules including flexible online, scheduled online, hybrid, and hy-flex options. Students can also learn more about short semester courses, which can be completed in as little as 14,12, or 8 weeks. 

Students get free access to the college’s full suite of student support services and student life activities throughout the semester. 

On top of the new Free Tuition Pilot Program, which launches this fall, the college also continues to offer support like:

• Free public transportation through the Capital Metro Green Pass
• Vouchers for child care 
• Student Emergency Fund for financial emergencies that may happen during the semester
• 50-Percent Discount for dozens of ACC’s Fast Track Career Programs 
• Open educational resources to eliminate the costs of textbooks and other course learning materials
