For the fourth straight year, ACC has earned the Gold Veterans Education Excellence Recognition Award (VEERA) from the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), the highest level of recognition for colleges and universities supporting veterans and military-connected students. The award recognizes institutions that provide education, resources, and support services to help veterans and their families succeed in higher education.
To support veterans and their families, ACC offers:
- Veterans Resource Center: A welcoming space where veterans can meet with academic advisors who understand military transitions, get help navigating benefits, and connect with peers who’ve walked similar paths.
- Military Families Center: Supports spouses, partners, and children of service members and veterans with community-building, resource navigation, peer support, and family-centered programming.
- ACC Career & Advising Services: Trained staff who can help translate military experience into civilian career language, strengthen résumés, and connect you to employers seeking veteran talent.
- Army Futures Command: Together, soldiers and ACC students are developing solutions that shape the future of technology and national defense.
Registration for next semester remains open. The College offers flexible course options, including in-person, online, hybrid, and hyflex classes. Spring semester classes begin Tuesday, January 19, 2027.
