Hello ACC Pumas –

We are so excited you are joining ACC for Spring 2022! Welcome to the college for all of you who are new to ACC – I think you will find it a special place. It is GREAT to welcome back all of you continuing and returning students! For all of you – returning, continuing and new students alike - we appreciate that you trust ACC with your career and academic goals, and we are excited you are joining us this Spring – whether remotely, in person, or online.

Just some quick reminders for all of you for this week:

Please remember to follow the guidelines so we can all be safe and healthy. Thank you for doing your part!
