Austin Community College's Return to Campus Plan is rooted in safety for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors. We also recognize our students’ need for access to technology. ACC will open three locations for students to have on-campus computer and individual-study area access. To ensure your continued health, safety, and well-being — these locations will be limited to 25% capacity. Students will be required to reserve a space by appointment.

Computer access and individual-study spaces will be available by reservation from October 26 - December 12.
Two Saturdays at the end of the semester to support studying for Finals: December 5 & December 12 from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
At this time, no additional in-person student services will be available. Remote support services are still available virtually.
