Thinking about starting college in spring 2027? Now is the time to get ready.
Spring registration at Austin Community College District (ACC) opens in phases beginning October 12, with registration for new students beginning Friday, October 16. Getting started early gives you more time to explore programs, meet with an advisor, complete the admissions process, and find classes that fit your schedule.
The spring semester begins Tuesday, January 19.

Once You’re an ACC Student: Protect Your Account
ACC uses Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to help protect student accounts and personal information.
MFA adds a second step when signing in to ACC systems such as MyACC, Blackboard, and ACCmail. You may use Okta Verify, an authenticator app, or your device’s built-in security features.
