  • PLEASE NOTE
    • All ACC Campuses will be closed physically and virtually on Monday, September 7 in observance of Labor Day.
    • Campuses are open for students who are enrolled in courses that meet in person. All services, except the Bookstore, are remote only or by virtual appointments on Friday, September 4 and Friday, September 11. Otherwise, there are limited in person services Monday – Thursdays (except for Monday, September 7).

  • Thank you all for wearing a CDC approved face covering when on an ACC campus. Please remember, they are required to be on campus. If you feel you cannot wear a mask/face covering, please contact ACC Disability Access Services to explore accommodation options.
  • Please utilize Navigate and also check your ACC student email regularly (did you know you can use the Outlook app to have it on your fingertips? See instructions in ACC’s Tech Tips). We appreciate your flexibility as we work to keep us all safe, and if you can set your text preference in Navigate (in Navigate, select Settings, then Notification Settings). By allowing text or push notifications, ACC can quickly contact you if something needs to change the day of a class (which we try to avoid, but to keep you safe, it may happen!) Again – thank you for your patience and flexibility.
  • Bring your ACC ID if you come to any campus. Lanyards will be available for free at all campuses to make it easy to display your ACC ID.
  • If you do not currently have an ACC ID and are scheduled for classes that will require you to be on campus, AND HAVE NOT YET completed the Permanent Student ID Request Form it available here. You will be emailed a digital temporary ID to use until your ACC ID arrives.  
  • Reminder - parking passes are not be needed for Fall 2020. You will not have to purchase a parking pass and may park in ACC lots without one. Please remember to park in ACC lots (parking and building maps can be found here). Street parking is not controlled by ACC and may result in City of Littleton tickets if you do not follow the signage on the streets.
