Juniors and Seniors, you can start earning college credit before graduating from high school. Austin Community College enrolls eligible high school students through the Early College Start program, allowing them to take up to two college courses per semester while still in high school. Courses may be taken at any ACC campus, ACC center, online, or at your high school campus if available.
Effective, Summer 2012
All ACC KINE courses, with the exception of KINE 1304 & 1305 (Health) are not eligible for the ECS tuition and waiver. KINE courses will be assessed full tuition and fees according to a student’s residency status.
Effective Fall 2011
ECS students will be limited to a total of 12 ACC course tuition/fee waivers. Any course taken once the 12 course limit is reached will be assessed regular tuition and fees based on the student's residency.
Effective Spring 2012
ECS students who reside outside of the ACC tax district but within the ACC service area will be charged a per-course fee of $75 for courses taken at ACC campuses or by distance learning. This fee is waived if the ACC course is taken on a high school campus.
Effective Spring 2012
Starting in January 2012, students who enroll in Austin Community College must show official proof of current meningitis immunization in order to take classes. Students over 30 are exempt from the requirement; all other students must comply.
The meningitis vaccination or booster must have been administered within the last five years and at least 10 days before the start of the semester or term. For further information, please visit www.austincc.edu/apply/immunizations.
