Student Resources & Support

Austin Community College recognizes that faculty, staff, and students may use names other than their legal name to identify themselves. The College has created a process in order to allow students to request use of a chosen first name where possible within the College’s records and systems. Legal names will continue to be used when necessary for College business or legal purposes.

ACC students have access to free support and services – from tutors and academic coaches to advisors, career specialists, and transfer specialists. Please share the Student Support page with your students.

ACC students needing access to technology throughout the Spring term can checkout a variety of devices to support their academic success. Additionally, Student Technology Services provides technology support via phone, email, and live chat. Please share the Student Access to Technology page with your students.
