ACC will also be participating in the Austin Veterans Day Parade and tabling at the resource fair at the Capitol.
ACC Supports Our Veterans
ACC support for veteran students and their families has been recognized by the State of Texas for the past three years. The College received the Gold Veterans Education Excellence Recognition Award (VEERA) from the Texas Veterans Commission.
For support, visit ACC’s Veterans Resource Center (VRC), located at the Highland Campus. Since opening in 2018, the VRC has provided tailored academic advising, financial aid assistance, emotional support, and community connections. The center also organizes outreach initiatives to promote the success and well-being of veterans and their families.
Registration Remains Open
Registration for the spring semester remains open. The College offers flexible course options, including in-person, online, hybrid, and hyflex classes. Spring classes begin Tuesday, January 20, 2025. For those looking for extra support, 1-on-1 appointments with an advisor remain available. For more information, visit austincc.edu/register.
