Our team is excited to help you begin your journey toward academic success. From day one with New Student Orientation until the end of the year, we are here for you!
We host fun, social events and skill-based workshops aimed at helping you get adjusted to college. Dedicated to AACC's mission of providing high quality, accessible and innovative solutions for education and services, our team looks forward to setting you up for a strong first year.
We offer online orientation to accommodate busy schedules, transportation difficulties or any other challenges that may limit you from coming to campus. Our detailed online orientation can be accessed at any time, from any mobile device and no registration is required.
In addition to online orientation, we offer in-person orientation sessions for those who want to have a more structured introduction to our college campus and community.
Our in-person orientation will introduce students and their families to college and student leaders, key resources and policies, and help familiarize them with the AACC campus.
In-person orientation typically includes:
We offer two orientations, one for the general new student population and one for ECAP dual enrollment students.
*Dual enrollment students who attend can look forward to customized information specific to their unique student status.
All orientation sessions will take place in Health and Life Sciences Building Room 100 on the Arnold campus.
Students who RSVP for these sessions should plan to arrive 10 to 15 minutes prior to the start of the program.

Are you anxious to get started? There are some things you can do before classes begin.
If you haven’t already, get familiar with the student portal, MyAACC. You'll use this portal to register for classes, pay your bill, get your grades, plan your schedule, check your email, access online courses, find out what’s happening on campus, join student organizations and more. Once you’re admitted to the college, you'll get your username via email.
You can print your latest schedule from MyAACC or access it on your mobile device using the AACC app. Even if you think you already know where you’re supposed to be and when, it’s a good idea to double check.
