At Austin Community College we realize that you have options for your education. We are honored that you have made the choice to seek your education with us. The foundation you build here will launch you into a brilliant future that only your imagination can conceive.<\/span><\/p>\n

While ultimate success is in your hands, ACC stands ready with the support and programs to help you along the way. We know that students who are fully engaged in the experience of college have a head start on success.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what does it mean to be fully engaged in the college experience? It means participating in student activities, joining or starting a student organization, being part of the decision-making process of the college, learning how to be a leader and productive member of your community, being aware and appreciative of the diverse cultures around you. It also means taking advantage of the services available to you like career research, transfer services to 4-year schools, and tutoring for classes. It can also be as simple as speaking to your professors on a regular basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The future is yours Riverbat, let’s fly!<\/strong><\/p>\n
