Self-registration is about empowering students to become more active in the college enrollment process. It will allow students to be involved in selecting their college classes, develop self-advocacy skills and feel more connected to the overall college experience. It will also eliminate the delay of having to wait to have an ACC staff member register or drop classes for your students.   Counselor will provide us a list of your students that have been authorized to take classes at ACC, whether they are participating in the concurrent enrollment or taking classes and paying for them on their own, by December 1st. With the list, ACC will place a registration hold on the student until they have completed an orientation at ACC.   The orientation is a vital component that will address the following: ·Students’ rights and responsibilities ·Student Resources ·Selecting and registering for classes (including drop/withdraws) ·Pre-requisite/test requirement for classes ·Third-party billing (if applicable) ·Getting involved as a student After completing the orientation, the student will be cleared to do self-registration.
