About the Catalog

The Austin Community College District (ACC) catalog includes everything you need to know about ACC. This catalog is in effect for new students entering ACC in the 2026–2027 academic year and for any ACC student returning in the 2026–2027 academic year whose catalog has expired. It was prepared from existing policies and information obtained from the appropriate ACC officials and is the document of authority for all students.

You may follow the degree plan requirements described in the catalog in effect at the time you first enrolled at ACC. Or you may choose to follow the degree plan requirements of a later catalog in effect during your enrollment, as long as the program of study is still offered, the catalog is not more than 5 years old, and you have officially declared the corresponding major.

ACC reserves the right to make changes in the regulations and offerings announced in this catalog as circumstances require. Each semester, the College posts an online schedule listing courses to be offered. Not all courses listed in this catalog are offered each semester. This information is made available to students as early as possible prior to the beginning of each semester.

Please frequently refer to the online 2026-27 ACC Catalog so you are aware of the latest and most accurate information.
