ACComplish @ St. Edward’s will leverage the 2+2 pathways with integrated advising involving SEU Success Coaches and ACC advisors. This will create a model in which ACC students are preparing to transfer to St. Edward’s from their first year at ACC. Integration of the ACC and SEU advising guides and transfer pathways will help to make this a seamless transition. In addition, ACC students can begin preparing for experiential learning opportunities such as internships or research with faculty prior to their arrival at SEU.

As part of the ACComplish @ St. Edward’s program, ACC students have the unique opportunity to live on the St. Edward’s University campus while completing their coursework at ACC. Students can apply to live in The Casa, a welcoming residential community designed to offer a true college experience and easy access to SEU’s vibrant campus life.

The Casa features comfortable single and double rooms arranged in small pods, each with shared bathrooms, community kitchens, study areas, and cozy lounges for socializing and collaboration. ACC students living on campus enjoy year-round housing, access to dining plans, parking, and campus amenities, and the support of SEU’s residential life staff and student success team. It’s the perfect way to build connections, experience university life early, and feel part of the Hilltop community even before transferring.
