Profile and User Options
About You
By either clicking on your user name in the menu on the top right or using the User Options link in the left-side menu, you can access your User Profile. This will show the data in your personal student record such as your name, date of birth, addresses, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers.
When you log into Self-Service for the first time, take the opportunity to review this information and confirm that it is correct. If the information needs to be changed, please contact the Registrar’s office to update your records.
Emergency Information
Through the “Emergency Information” option, you can update your emergency contacts on file, and provide any relevant health information that may be important for college staff to know should an emergency occur. 
Account Preferences
If there is a page you visit more often than any other, you can customize your landing page by clicking on your account name and navigating to “Account Preferences.” From here, you can choose the first page you see when you log in.
Student Finance
Account Summary
Student Finance is the place to go if you need to view the current charges on your account, from tuition fees to parking fines.
To make a payment, click “Make a Payment” from the Account Summary screen, or through the Financial Information > Student Finance menu option on the left-hand side. To see a list of all your charges and transactions, click on “Account Activity.
Make a Payment
The Make a Payment screen will allow you to see your charges and their due dates, and enter your credit card information to submit a payment to ACC. Tuition must be paid in full before you begin any classes, and all fees must be paid prior to graduation. Contact the Cashier’s office for any questions about charges on your account.
Account Activity
Under Account Activity, you can view a transactional history of all the financial changes to your account that you have incurred, so you will always have the opportunity to review when you were charged and what the charge was for.
You also have the option to use the View Statement function to download a PDF for a more printer-friendly version of the same information and save it for your personal records.
Registration Payment & Registration Activity
The Pay for Registration and Registration Activity pages will verify that you have met your registration payment requirements and verify that you are ready to pay off your balance. Be sure to review this before you pay to make sure you haven’t missed any steps when enrolling in classes.
Tax InformationEach year, ACC prepares tax information for students and staff that are available either by mail or electronically. Students will receive 1098-T forms, and if employed by the college, may also receive W-2 and 1095-C forms.
We highly recommend you opt-in and consent to receiving your tax forms electronically. By doing so, you will be able to access and print your forms online at any time. Otherwise, you will receive a paper copy by mail.
Student Planning
Planning Overview
Planning Overview is a broad look at your individual student plan and will show you the progress you are making towards your degrees, as well as your current and upcoming semester schedule in a calendar format.
When you are beginning to plan out your future terms as far as what courses to take and requirements you need to meet, this is the place to get started. If you have any questions about your program of study or your student plan, schedule a meeting with your advisor.
There is also a quick search function at the top of the page to look up courses in the Course Catalog.
Plan and Schedule
Schedule
Under Plan & Schedule, the Schedule tab is where you get a more detailed look at the sections you are registered in or planning to enroll in. You can browse by semester using the Back and Forward buttons. You have the ability to export your schedule to your favorite calendar program by saving it to an iCal format or download it as a printer-friendly PDF document.
This is where you confirm the registration of your planned courses or drop them if you are still within the add/drop period. If you are content with all of the courses you have added to your schedule, you can select “Register Now” and it will reserve your seat and enroll you in each course you have selected.
It is easy to visualize your school week with the calendar module and to identify any potential time conflicts. To make it easier to resolve conflicts, each section in your list will have the option to “View other sections,” which will show if the same course is offered at a different time or location.
To add a course to your schedule for registration, visit the Course Catalog in Self-Service.
Timeline
The Timeline tab allows you to see a historic record of all the courses you have taken by semester. In past semesters, you will see your grades, and for upcoming semesters, it allows you to easily remove courses from your plan if you are not registered for them.
Advising
Under the Advising tab, you can see a list of your advisor(s) and their e-mail addresses, and also compose notes for them to review later during an advising session.
Petitions & Waivers
Under the Petitions & Waivers tab, you can see if any special exemptions have been made to your schedule; for example, an instructor waiving a prerequisite for a course you wish to enroll in.
Course Catalog
Search Function
To view the courses offered each semester, visit the Course Catalog section. From here, you can do a basic search by selecting a subject, or an advanced search that will allow you to narrow down sections by term, availability, time, and location.
Keep in mind that the basic Subject Search will show courses from the entire catalog by default, and that not every course is offered every semester. If you are registering for sections, be sure to filter by term to double-check that the course you wish to take will be offered.
Speak with your advisor if you have any questions regarding course offerings.
Registration and Adding Course to Plan
Once you find a section you are interested in, you can expand the details and view the number of seats, times, days, and other meeting information for that section. If you are interested in enrolling in the course, you can choose to Add Course to Plan or Add Section to Schedule.
Add Course to Plan will add the course to your overall Student Plan and allow you to see how it affects your path to graduation.
Add Section to Schedule will add the section to your schedule and allow you to register through the Plan & Schedule page of Student Planning, assuming you meet all of the requirements and have no restrictions on your account preventing you from doing so.
GradesThe Grades section allows you to view your finalized grades and term GPA by semester, as well as print a copy of them for your records.
Graduation OverviewWhen it comes time to think about graduation, you will need to fill out an application under the Graduation Overview section of Self-Service. Here you can view your programs of study and begin the application process.
To start, click on Apply for the program requested. To return to Student Planning and verify that you have met all of the requirements for graduation, click on “Review My Academic Progress.”
Graduation Application
Filling out a graduation application is easy and only requires you to answer a few basic questions, such as whether you will be attending commencement, your number of expected guests, military status, and your cap and gown sizes.
For any questions on the graduation procedures or application, please contact the Registrar’s office, and for questions regarding caps and gowns, contact the Bookstore.
Enrollment VerificationsIf you need to verify your enrollment with ACC, fill out an Enrollment Verification request and one will be sent to the listed recipient. Speak with the Registrar’s office for more information.
Transcript RequestsRequesting a transcript is quick and easy. Simply fill out a Transcript Request Form with the recipient information and the Registrar’s office will review it and take care of the rest. Contact them if you have any questions about this process.
