Attachment H
The ECS program allows high school juniors and seniors residing in the ACC District service area to
take two ACC courses per semester (fall, spring, and summer semesters.)
High school students can earn college credit by taking Austin Community College classes at their
high schools, any ACC campus, distance learning, or at any other location. In addition to college
credit, students may earn credit toward their high school graduation requirements by completing
dual credit courses.
Eligibility
High school students may co-enroll in Austin Community College once they have:
• Successfully completed their sophomore year in a public school, private school, charter
school, or home school.
• Received permission from their parent/guardian, high school counselor, and Principal.
• Passed the appropriate sections on the ACC assessment or submitted acceptable exemption
scores on the ACT, SAT, TAKS (10th or 11th), PSAT, or PLAN tests.
Costs
In-district students
Austin Community College courses are tuition waived for ECS students who live within the Austin,
Leander, Manor, Del Valle, and Round Rock school districts, and those portions of Eanes and
Pflugerville independent school districts that pay property taxes to the City of Austin. In-district
ECS students do not pay tuition, lab fees, student activity fees, or insurance fees for up to two
college credit courses per semester. Tuition is not waived for non-credit, developmental, or audited
course.
Out-of-district students
Students who reside within the ACC service area but outside of ACC’s taxing district are assessed a
$40 per-course fee for up to two courses per semester, for courses that meet on a high school
campus this fee is waived. Students taking a distance learning classes are charged the $40 per-course
fee.
Out-of-ACC-service-area students
Students who reside outside of the ACC service area are assessed full tuition and fees for two
courses per semester.
Other costs
Students are required to pay for required textbooks and supplies.

• Admission Application with Residency Information form
• ACC 101 (pre advising) and High School Transcript
• Testing, if required (COMPASS/ASSET)

Early College Start 5930 Middle Fiskville Road  Austin, Texas 78752  (512) 223-7355
Welcome to a new academic school year with the Early College Start program! I would like to
personally thank all high school counselors and the many high school staff members who spend
countless hours assisting students enrolling in ACC’s Early College Start program. We appreciate all
of your efforts to help your students become ACC students.
As a result of your outstanding cooperative efforts, the ECS program grows each semester. Summer
2010 enrollments reached over 4,700 students, a 12.5% increase from summer 2009. Summer 2010
represents the highest ECS enrollment to date in one semester and we expect enrollment will
continue to rise with your assistance.
Early College Start provides an outstanding benefit to your students and their families. Students
who can take the maximum number of classes allowed and who begin taking classes the summer
following the sophomore year, can earn a year of college credit by the time they graduate from high
school. For in-district students, this amounts to about $2,000 in direct savings. Out-of-district
students can save $5,000 or more in college tuition costs.
We hope you will continue to encourage your students to take classes according to their interests
and needs, and that you will consider offering ACC classes on your high school campus or
expanding your current course offerings. The ECS staff is dedicated to serving you and your
students and we are extremely proud of our partnership with you.
Best wishes for a great school year!

Attachment H
To be considered a Texas resident, students must reside in Texas at least 12 months before
enrollment into ACC and must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or non citizen Texas resident.
All ECS students are limited to two ACC courses per semester. ACC recognizes the following
classifications when determining tuition rates:

In-District: Texas residents are considered in-district if their address on file in Admissions
and Records is within ACC’s taxing district.
 ACC’s taxing district includes Austin, Del Valle, Leander, Manor, and Round Rock
Independent School Districts and properties that pay “City of Austin” property taxes.
 Property owners and their dependents living in Texas, outside the ACC tax district, but
own property in-district and pay taxes supporting ACC, may be eligible for in-district
tuition. A current property tax statement and dependency documents are required for
verification each semester of enrollment. Property owners on most temporary visas are
not eligible for in-district classification.

Out-of-District: Texas residents who reside outside of the ACC tax district but within ACC
service area are considered out of district, based on the address submitted on the ACC
application.

Out-of-ACC-service area: ECS students who reside outside of the ACC service area are
not eligible for tuition waivers. Students are charged full tuition and fees.

Out-of-State: ECS students are tuition waived if student resides inside the ACC taxing
district. Out of state students that reside outside of the ACC taxing district and within the
ACC service area will be charged $40 per course unless the class is taken on a high school
campus.

Non U.S. Citizen or Non Permanent Resident Status: To obtain an alternate ID
number, contact the ECS office at (512) 223-7355.
Students are responsible for registering under the proper residency classification. Any
questions concerning this classification should be clarified with the Admissions and Records Office
before enrollment. Rules and regulations for determining residency status are defined under Title 3
of the Texas Education Code. To determine the appropriate residency classification, ACC is
required to review enrollment documents for errors, inconsistencies, and misclassifications of
residency. The College will take the necessary steps to see that appropriate adjustments are made if
a misclassification occurs. Additional documentation of Texas residency may be required if the
college determines that the information given on the enrollment documents are not adequate to
verify residency.

TSI refers to the Texas law (Texas Success Initiative) that requires all students attending a Texas
public college or university to be assessed in reading, writing, and math prior to enrollment into
college credit classes, unless a student demonstrates an assessment-exempt or assessment-waived
status. ACC offers ASSET or COMPASS testing to all ECS students free of charge, for the initial
testing. All subsequent testing is subject to a retest policy and fee.
Students are advised each semester on the basis of assessment scores on record.
A student can be TSI exempt if they have qualifying scores on ACT, SAT, or 11th grade TAKS.
Early College Start students can temporarily use 10th grade TAKS, PSAT, or PLAN scores while
enrolled in high school. After high school graduation, a student using 10th grade TAKS, PSAT, or
PLAN scores must submit exemption 11th grade TAKS, SAT, or ACT scores to establish permanent
TSI status, otherwise, must test in THEA, ASSET, or COMPASS prior to registration as a
traditional college student.
Temporary vs. Permanent TSI exemption
Exemptions using 10th grade TAKS, PSAT, or PLAN test scores are temporary and only valid while
concurrently enrolled in high school. Upon high school graduation, a student must provide
permanent TSI exemption through ACT, SAT, or 11th grade TAKS. ACT and SAT results are valid
for TSI exemption for five years from the time of test and TAKS results are valid for TSI exemption
for three years from the time of test. If a student cannot provide exemption using permanent
exemption criteria, the student will be required to take the COMPASS, ASSET, or THEA prior to
enrollment at Austin Community College as a traditional college student. College credit certificates
of 42 credit hours or less are TSI-waived. Students pursuing a TSI waived certificate program are
not required to satisfy TSI requirements; however, many certificate programs require minimal
passing scores on placement tests prior to enrollment. ACC certificate programs are listed on page
31.

Approved by the Assessment and Advising Committee in May 2009
Entering students may enroll in the courses listed below based on the indicated assessment scores
alone, without checking course prerequisites.
Students who are slightly below the listed cut-off scores for levels 6 and 7 may be placed into
courses at that level according to the guidelines on the “Decision Zones” document.
For all MATH courses except those listed below, an entering student must have a
COMPASS score of 69 or above (or equivalent) AS WELL AS the course prerequisite.
ACC does not offer these tests. Student should take COMPASS math test. Contact an Assessment Office.
A student who places at the high end of this range may also be eligible for the fast track MATD 0370/0290 paired
course, at the instructor's discretion.
C Students Scoring in the 45 - 55 range on ASSET Elementary Algebra that wish to take MATH 1314 or 1324 need to
re-test in TCOMP or take the ASSET Intermediate Algebra test.
d A student scoring over 39 on COMPASS places into MATH 1332, 1333, or 1342, but may take
MATD 0385 to better prepare for one of these three classes.

Math Placement for students entering the ACC math program THEA, SAT, ACT, MAPS **
Approved by the Assessment and Advising Committee in May 2009
The following entering students are not required to take an assessment test in mathematics.
1. Students who have met the TSI math requirement (Complete or Exempt) for any reason AND
have credit for a college-level math course based on evaluated credit from an accredited private or
out-of-state institution of higher education are eligible for any MATH course for which they meet
the course prerequisite.
2. Students who have met the TSI Math requirement and have credit for high school Algebra II are
eligible to enroll in Math 1332, Math 1333, and Math 1342.
** These tests cover general mathematical skill, not specific algebra skills. Students with good general knowledge may
exceed these cut-off scores and still need substantial review work on algebra skills to succeed in algebra courses.
Students with good algebra skills may not score as high as some of these cut-off scores but still be ready for algebra
courses. For more accurate assessment of current algebra skills, we recommend the COMPASS.

DECISION ZONES:
Math Placement for entering students based on other factors in addition to Assessment
Scores
Barely “successfully completed TSI”:
Eligible for MATH 1332, 1333, or 1342.
Need MATH 1324 or MATH 1314 or other math course (thus needs Intermediate Algebra, MATD
0390, to prepare):
* If the student has successfully completed a full semester of high school Elementary Analysis, Precalculus,
Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, or equivalent courses, then enroll in Intermediate Algebra, MATD 0390.
* Otherwise he/she should enroll in Elementary Algebra, MATD 0370, to prepare for Intermediate Algebra, MATD
0390.
Just below “College Algebra” score on THEA or TSI state-approved test:
Eligible for MATH 1332, 1333, or 1342.
Need MATH 1324 or MATH 1314 or other math course:
* If the student has successfully completed a full semester of high school Elementary Analysis, Precalculus,
Trigonometry, Analytic Geometry, or equivalent courses, then the cut-off for starting in MATH 1324 or 1314 is the
lowest score in this range (COMPASS 59+, CPT 80+ or 35+, ASSET 39+.)
* If the student has successfully completed Algebra II, the cut-off score for enrolling in 1324 or 1314 is in the top half of
this range, depending upon a number of factors. If the student answers "Yes" to at least four of these questions, then
the cut-off score is middle of this range (COMPASS 63+, CPT 84+ or 37+, ASSET 40+.) If the student only answers
"Yes" to two or three of these questions, they may be placed in 1324 or 1314 if they are in approximately the top ¾ of
this range (COMPASS 66+, CPT 87+ or 38, ASSET 41.)
1. Do you have extra study time available this semester in case you need more review than you thought? (More than
the usual three hours for every hour in class that is necessary for most math courses.) Your advisor will review with
you the number of hours per week you're working, how many courses you're planning to take, and any other time
commitments.
2. Did you complete Algebra II or Intermediate Algebra within the last 18 months?
3. Did you make an A or B in Algebra II or Intermediate Algebra?
4. Do you feel confident of your mathematical skills and your test-taking skills?
5. Do you plan to enroll in an ACC mathematics lab to accompany your course?
6. Do you have someone available to help you with your questions about your math course several times each week?
7. Have you worked through the problems on the Prerequisite Review Sheet for this course?
* If the student hasn’t successfully completed high school Algebra II then he/she should enroll in Intermediate Algebra,
MATD 0390, to satisfy the prerequisite for MATH 1324 or MATH 1314.

Some ACC courses will meet students’ high school graduation requirements while also counting toward a college
associate degree, bachelor’s degree, or technical certificate.
IMPORTANT: School districts and/or high schools determine whether an ACC course can receive high school dual
credit. Students should consult their high school counselor for a listing of their school district’s approved
dual credit courses.

When a high school or underage student enrolls in a post secondary institution, all student records
are protected according to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act1 (FERPA). This means that
parents are not given access to their student’s records without the authorization of the student. A
parent wishing to complete a transaction for his or her child must have a proxy authorization.
A student proxy authorization authorizes a person listed on the completed form to serve as a proxy
for ACC transactions initialed on the form at Austin Community College. Form located in the
“Forms” section.
A student proxy authorization can be used only once. A new, completed, signed and dated proxy is
required each time this or any other person acts as a proxy. The student (not proxy) has ultimate
responsibility for complying with applicable requirements, policies, payments, and deadlines. This
form must have an original student signature along with a copy of the student’s photo ID to be
valid. Photocopies or faxed copies will not be valid. Completed forms are collected at the time of
transaction. Each transaction will require a new completed form.
FERPA is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to
all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education.
These rights transfer to the student when he or she attends a school beyond the high school level.

Things you can do to HELP students with registration:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Verify the registration access periods for the correct time and date to register. Detailed
registration times are listed on the printed and online course schedule.
Distribute the Registration Worksheet, which includes detailed registration instructions for
both phone and online registration.
Refer students to the course schedule and ACC Registration Helpline (512) 223-4636.
Provide a touch tone telephone or internet accessible computers to allow registration at high
school campus without registering for them.
REQUIRE students to verify their registration by printing out a student schedule from their
ACC online account or by visiting a campus Admissions Office with a photo ID.
Payment must be received by the published deadlines in the course schedule or students will
be dropped for non-payment. Encourage all students to contact their ECS specialist or visit
a campus Admissions Office if they are given a tuition balance they believe is not correct.
TOP 5 Reasons NOT to register students yourselves (includes parents):
•
•
•
•
•
Registration is a student-driven process, and a necessary skill to have in college.
Students will blame you if they are not in the correct class and/or time.
Students will blame you if they do or don’t have a parking permit.
Students will blame you if they get dropped from their class for any reason.
If you register for them, they will expect it each semester. Student will also likely come to
you each time they need to make adjustments which, will involve many hours of registration
assistance.
NEGATIVE impact of registering students:
•
•
•
Students can be enrolled in a class they are unaware of, not attending, and receive a failing
grade, which will affect their permanent college record.
Students, and especially parents, will hold you responsible.
Students will not be prepared to use the system to make changes to their schedule during
add/drops period, also a student-driven process.

INSERT Registration Worksheet
Attachment H
Course prerequisites
Codes to the left of the course synonym (see above illustration) indicate whether the course has
prerequisites. Prerequisites are required skills or courses that must be fulfilled before you can register
for the indicated course.
Most college credit courses have a reading, writing, or math skills prerequisite; some courses have
more than one. You must prove proficiency in the required skills by fulfilling state-mandated
assessment requirements at the time of admission to ACC.
Courses with course prerequisites have a plus (+) before the synonym. You must provide proof of
this prerequisite (grade slip, transcript, etc.) at the first class meeting. Prerequisites are listed in the
ACC Catalog. Without proof you will be dropped from class.
Students should NOT register for courses for which they do not meet the required skills or course
prerequisites. Students attending course(s) for which they are not eligible should withdraw
immediately. Students should NOT register for a class that they cannot attend because of a time
conflict.

Students who are unable to complete a course, for whatever reason, must complete and submit a
withdrawal form to a campus Admissions and Records before the withdrawal deadline published in
both the academic calendar and semester course schedule. When a student withdraws before the
12th official class day for a 16-week session, the course is not recorded on a student’s ACC
transcript; all withdrawals after the official class day date will record as a W on the ACC transcript.
Discontinuing attendance or notifying the instructor does not constitute official withdrawal. A
change to a high school student’s schedule does NOT constitute official withdrawal.
Students who fail to officially withdraw from a course will receive a grade of “F” for the
course, and this will become a permanent part of the student’s college record which may or may
not affect the ability to transfer or be admitted to other colleges or universities upon high school
graduation.
Official withdrawal after the official state reporting date for each semester will report as a “W” on
official college records. W’s do not calculate into a student’s GPA. W’s received while enrolled as
an ECS student at Austin Community College will not count towards the 6 course withdrawal limit;
however, once a student completes six credit hours or two semesters at ACC they must maintain at
least a 50% course completion ratio. Students who fall below will be required to meet with an ACC
counselor prior to future enrollment at ACC. Withdrawals may also be counted in financial aid
eligibility upon high school graduation.
Instructor-Initiated Withdrawals
A student who is not in compliance with course policies or meeting course objectives in the
syllabus may be withdrawn from the course at the discretion of the instructor.
When the instructor withdraws a student, written notice will be sent by the College to the student at
the address recorded in the student’s permanent file.
Appealing an Instructor Initiated-Withdrawal
A student may appeal a course withdrawal in writing immediately upon notification by the
instructor or within five business days after postmark of the College notice of withdrawal.
The written appeal shall be made initially to the course instructor, who will respond in writing
within five business days. The student may appeal the instructor’s decision within five business days
to the appropriate Department Chair, then Academic Dean, whose decision will be final.
The student may attend class, submit assignments, and take tests for grading through the final
disposition of the appeal unless there are established course or program guidelines that would
prohibit the student from returning to class.
Attachment H
Tuition and fees are due following registration, according to the tuition deadlines
published in the course schedule. Failure to pay tuition and fees by the payment deadline
will result in a student being dropped from classes.
IMPORTANT: Students do not receive tuition bills by mail; it is the student’s responsibility to
ensure payment is made by the deadline. For questions regarding the tuition due, contact an ACC
Cashier’s Office at (512) 223-CASH (2214).
Methods of payment
Online: Must be paid by credit card only using ACCeID. The full amount of tuition and fees will be
charged to the credit card and will be subject to State and ACC refund policies. Be sure to print or
record the confirmation of payment.
Telephone: For credit card payment, call (512) 454-3774 and follow the instructions on the
registration worksheet (page 7 of printed course schedule.) The full amount of tuition and fees will
be charged to the credit card and will be subject to State and ACC refund policies. Do not hang up
until confirmation has been received by phone.
Walk-in: Pay in person at any campus Cashier's Office, may use cash, check, money order, or credit
card.
Tuition Waiver
ECS students who reside within the ACC service area are eligible for two tuition waivers per
semester. See ACC service area on page 5. All other ECS students are charged full tuition and fees
based on their residency status as determined by Admissions and Records.
In-District: Tuition is waived for up to two courses per semester.
Out-of-District: Charged $40 per course for up to two courses per semester.
 $40 per-course fee waived when course is taken at a high school campus
 $40 per-course fee waived if student provides verification of financial need. For example:
Official letter from high school verifying eligibility for reduced or free lunches or copy of
letter stating student and/or family is eligible for state or federal assistance. Letters must be
submitted with ECS form and are valid for the academic school year.
Out-of-State: Eligible for tuition waiver if student resides within the ACC service area. Tuition is
based on whether a student resides in or out of ACC’s taxing district.
Non-Citizen: Eligible for tuition waiver if student resides within the ACC service area. Tuition is
based on whether a student resides in or out of ACC’s taxing district.
Attachment H
ECS students are limited to two ACC courses per semester (spring, fall, and summer.) All ACC
courses count towards this two course limit (i.e. developmental courses, concurrent enrollment, and
courses for which a “W” is received.)
When a student registers using the telephone or online systems, the system does not have the ability
to stop a student from adding a third course; however, ACC’s business office runs a daily report of
registration activity which identifies ECS students who register for more than two classes. When a
student registers for more than two courses, the system charges full tuition and fees for ALL three
classes. This is usually the trigger for the student to contact ACC; however, some students do not
contact ACC. If the balance due is not paid by the payment deadline, students will be dropped
from the last course added. Payment of entire balance does not constitute approval of a third ACC
course.
In extenuating circumstances, an ECS student may request to exceed the maximum course load.
Approval must be obtained by the Dean of Student Services at an ACC campus PRIOR to
enrollment in a third course.
Procedures to request a third course for ECS:
1. Obtain and complete the Request to Exceed Maximum Course Load for Early College
Start. See “Forms” section.
2. Obtain parent and high school principal signature.
3. Obtain an unofficial copy of your high school transcript showing cumulative high GPA of
95 on a 100 point scale or 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
4. Visit a campus Dean of Student Services office.
5. If approved, a student MUST pay full tuition and fees for any course(s) above the two
course limit.
6. A new request must be submitted and approved each semester.

TOP 5 Reasons to Schedule ACC classes on your high school campus
1. It is the best way to increase the Early College Start enrollment at your high school.
2. The students are in a comfortable environment and much more likely to sign up for the
course.
3. On-site ACC classes eliminate most transportation problems.
4. You determine the course(s) to offer, applicable to your school and students’ needs.
5. Classes are FREE for your students – all classes taken on a high school campus are tuition
waived for students who reside in the ACC service area.
How to schedule an ACC Class on your High School Campus

lecture and/or lab credits required for ACC course. Contact your ECS specialist for
minimum instructional times.
6. Room number and room capacity
Example: Room 23H, capacity 32
Having a course on your campus is dependent on approval from the ACC department
chair, number of students enrolled, and availability of ACC faculty.

ECS students, who will graduate from high school but intend to enroll at ACC immediately after
graduation, must visit an ACC campus Admissions Office prior to registration (usually in March and
April.)
Students will need to complete a “Notice of Missing Credentials” form. This form is a promissory
note for the final high school transcript with graduation date. Upon completion of the missing
credentials form, a student’s record will be converted to a traditional student status and extended
time will be permitted for the final high school transcript. Meanwhile, the student will be permitted
to register as a traditional student for the upcoming summer semester.
For example:
A high school senior is enrolled at ACC during the spring semester, will graduate from high school,
and plans to continue at ACC the summer immediately following graduation.
Student must visit an ACC campus Admissions Office and complete a “Notice of Missing
Credentials” form. Upon completion, admissions staff will remove AR7 hold and convert the
record from “dual” to “traditional” status. Once complete, the student will be eligible to register for
upcoming semester as college student.
For further questions regarding graduating seniors, please contact your ECS specialist.
TSI Status
Once an ECS student graduates from high school, (s)he will be required to provide permanent TSI
exemption or be in compliance with TSI rules and regulations. Please visit a campus advisor in
order to fully understand how TSI applies to traditional college students. Remember 10th TAKS,
PSAT, and PLAN results are not permanent; therefore, upon high school graduation, students must
provide permanent 11th TAKS, ACT, or SAT exemption scores or take ASSET, COMPASS, or
THEA.
For example:
An ECS student who does not pass the math part of ASSET/COMPASS, is not required to
participate in mandatory developmental math each semester while in high school. Upon graduation,
unless a student retests and passes all sections, the student must enroll concurrently in the required
math development course until the test is retaken and passed.
