Explore and Apply for Admission

• Check out the programs we offer at ACC! To make your search easy, we organize our programs in Pathways and group similar programs together. Find the right program for you so you can be on your way to a career that will move mountains.
• Create an account and complete your ACC application.
  • *Some programs have a selective admissions process and require more documentation and information to apply.
    • If you are an ACC student already, log in to your ACC application account. Start a new application with your selective admissions program as the major and select the semester for program start. Once you complete the new application, you will get follow-up emails about the supplemental items and further instructions.
    • If you are new to ACC and have all of your appropriate prerequisite coursework nearing completion, log in to or begin the ACC application. Start a new application with the selected program as the major and select starting semester.

    Apply for Financial Aid

    Apply for Financial Aid by completing your FAFSA. An academic year starts with the Fall semester.

    • The ACC school code is 001346.
      If you miss the FAFSA deadline, you still need to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible.

    If you need help paying for college and cannot apply for federal financial aid, you can apply for state financial aid using the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA). If you need assistance, contact ACC's Financial Aid team.
