PLEASE READ!

HHS ONLY PROVIDES ASSISTANCE IN THE

ACC REGISTRATION PROCESS!

HHS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHETHER COURSES "MAKE" OR NOT, IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR COURSE CONTENT NOR INSTRUCTORS, AND HHS STAFF DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ACC GRADES OR ATTENDANCE!

How to Register for ACC

Complete these 6 items FIRST:

1) Complete ACC Online Application (you'll need your social security number! - Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and hit "Begin!")

2) Complete and PRINT ACC Residency Form

3) Complete ACC-101 and PRINT last page

4) You will need to take the COMPASS Exam if your TAKS ELA and Math are under 2200 and have a writing score of 2 or less. See Terry Sheneman if unsure about being exempt from this step. If you need to take this exam, you MUST do this before continuing.

A minimum score of 39 on the Math portion is required to be able to take Economics and other Math courses, and minimum scores of 81 on Reading and 59+5 or a 6 on Writing for other courses. SAT & ACT Scores may also exempt you. See Sheneman if you think you qualify!

5) Fill out and sign ACC Co-Enrollment Form (MUST obtain hardcopy from Hawk CCC and have it signed off by counselor and a parent).

6) Obtain a transcript WITH the latest TAKS scores. Terry Sheneman will help you get this, and it is no cost to you.

After completing these steps, you will need to take everything for advising at ACC (Northridge Campus is the closest). Once approved and in the system, you can go online or by phone and register for the classes you want to take.

Here's what you need to take with you to advising:

Residency Form
ACC-101 Final Page
Sealed Transcript with TAKS Scores (DON’T OPEN IT!)
ACC Co-Enrollment Form (available in CCC)
Compass Exam Results (if applicable)

If you have trouble registering online (Hendrickson's Campus Code is "HEH"), try using phone registration (454-3774 - follow the prompts). If you still have problems, call ACC Northridge Admissions at 223-4730.
