Get Ready for Summer 2026
The application process is free at ACC. Here’s what students can expect:
- Start their application
- Claim their ACC ID and email
- Submit their required documents — this includes things like test scores and transcripts
- Apply for financial aid and see what money they can get to help pay for classes
The College encourages all new students to start applying now to be ready to register when it opens for all students.
Summer is the perfect time for students to get ahead and secure the classes they need to graduate or transfer faster. ACC offers short-semester in-person, hybrid, and online classes. With registration typically lower in the summer, it’s an opportunity to get ahead and secure the classes they need to graduate or transfer faster.
Planning for summer registration isn’t something students have to tackle alone. ACC offers 1-on-1 help to get the classes they need.
