Hybrid Classes
Classes have online and in-person requirements. Typically, you'll meet online at a designated time for lectures and discussions, but head to a campus for socially-distanced hands-on learning and testing.

In-Person Classes
Classes meet in-person with social distancing measures in place. If there is a need to transition to online learning, your professor will provide further instructions.
Course location code: Campus room & location
Note: When you’re ready to register, search for a specific class type by using the “Course location code.” Your options may be limited by your area of study. For the time being, only courses that require hands-on learning will meet in-person.
Learning Through COVID-19
ACC ranks top in the state and nation in online learning according to two recent reports. During COVID-19, many of our courses remain in online and virtual formats. Watch this video to hear directly from students who made the transition from the classroom to online.
