ACC’s High School Programs’Academic Success Department advises high school students enrolled in ACC courses, monitors their success, and provides academic coaching. Our staff are the students’ main support once they are enrolled in ACC programs. We help students who are struggling with college coursework or experiencing other personal or behavioral issues that may interfere with their success. We also advise graduating high school seniors on the necessary steps for earning an ACC credential or transitioning to ACC or a university after high school graduation.
