Unauthorized vehicles may be issued ACC Violation Notices or Justice of the Peace citations and may incur fines and penalties. Penalties include, but are not limited to, monetary fines, suspension of parking privileges, and the towing of the offender’s vehicle, without notice, at the expense of the vehicle owner. The Austin Community College District is not responsible for loss of or damage to vehicles or their contents while parked in ACC parking lots. A complete copy of ACC’s Parking and Traffic Rules and Regulations is available at the ACC Police Department, the administrative offices at each location, or online.

Parking for those with Disabilities
Vehicles parked in spaces reserved for individuals with disabilities must display the state designation on the license plate or the official state designation card on the dashboard or the rear-view mirror and a current ACC parking permit. In order to receive the state designation, students with disabilities must contact the local tax assessor/collector’s office. For assistance with parking for the disabled, contact a campus Office for Students with Disabilities.

Student Computers

Each ACC campus has an IRT Open Access Computer Center, usually located within or adjacent to the library. IRT Open Access Computer Centers are open to all currently enrolled students to use for word processing, conducting research, to complete assignments, check email, and log onto the Internet. An ACC ID is required to use the facilities. Locations and hours are posted online.

There are also specialty labs associated with departmental majors such as computer science, health science, math, visual communication, and others. Enrollment in specific courses may be required to use these facilities. In addition, the Learning Labs provide computer access for all ACC students, faculty, and staff for college-related activities.

Student ID

A student needs an ACC photo ID card to use ACC services. All rights and privileges of the ID card are governed by ACC policy and procedures. Students are eligible to receive an ID card after they have registered for classes. The Admissions Office distributes ID cards. There is a replacement fee.
