Important stuff for
DUAL CRedit students

to know!!

ACCeID: Prior to registration, claim your ACCeID and set your password and security questions. From the ACC
homepage (www.austincc.edu) select “ACCeID” from the row of links on the top of the page. Follow the three
steps to obtain, activate, and set your security questions. Your ACCeID will give you full access to your ACC
records using your ACC online services account. For assistance, contact the ACC Help Desk at (512) 223-4636
or www.austincc.edu/help.

ACC EMAIL: After activating your ACCeID, you can activate your permanent ACC secure student email. All ACC
notification are delivered to students via ACC email address. Activate your ACC email at
www.austincc.edu/accmail and click “Activation + Login Assistance” on the left hand side, then click “Activate
ACCmail” and follow prompts. You must have your ACCeID to activate your ACC email. For assistance, contact
the ACC Help Desk.

Tuition and Fees Waiver: Austin Community College will waive tuition and fees for 12 courses per student,
residing within the ACC taxing district. Out-of-district students will be charged a per-course fee for courses
taken at any non-high school location or via distance learning for 12 courses per student, after which regular
tuition and fees will be charged. Out-of-district students will not be charged the per-course fee if they take
classes scheduled at a high school campus or demonstrate financial need through documented eligibility for
free lunch or family eligibility for public assistance. The dual credit tuition and fees waiver can only be applied
to college credit courses that are a part of the ACC core curriculum, a workforce course leading to a certificate
or associate of applied science degree, foreign languages, and KINE 1304/1305. All remaining ACC courses will
be assessed regular tuition and fees according to a student’s residency.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP): College records are permanent; therefore, it’s important to
maintain satisfactory academic progress while enrolled at ACC, even while in high school. Failure to do so may
affect future college financial aid and/or transfer eligibility. The elements of SAP are grade point average,
completion ratio, and maximum time frame.

All students in the dual credit program must maintain a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) level of 2.0 GPA
and 67% course completion rate. Students who fall below SAP will lose their tuition waiver for one
probationary semester. Failure to maintain SAP for two semesters (consecutive or nonconsecutive) will result
in a student being ineligible for the dual credit tuition and fees waiver. Dual credit students who do not
maintain good academic standing are additionally subject to further disciplinary action as outlined in the ACC
Student Handbook.

TEXTBOOKS and course supplies are NOT included in tuition and fees. Textbooks can be purchased at an ACC
Bookstore or other book retailers (average price per class is $100). ACC Campus Bookstores:
www.austin.bncollege.com

PAYMENT: If applicable, pay your tuition and fees by the payment deadline. If payment is not made, you will
be dropped from your course(s). If you receive a balance due at the time of registration and you believe it’s an
error, you MUST contact the Dual Credit office immediately or you will be dropped for non-payment.
