Students will have an opportunity to take care of any final preparations for the upcoming semester including finalizing the admissions process, registering for classes, changing their schedule, visiting with an advisor and more. 

“Last year, we were able to help over 500 new and returning ACC students prepare for the fall semester at Back to Campus Friday,” said Amanda Smithson, ACC director of Recruitment and Enrollment. “We are excited to offer this opportunity to students again this year.”

Back to Campus Friday will be an all-day event from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Food, t-shirts and Scantrons will be provided throughout the day to participating students.
