The Signs You're an In-District Darling
Here's the good news, future ACC scholar: the ACC district is pretty expansive. It's like a cool aunt who lets everyone at the family reunion crash on her couch (except maybe for that weird Uncle Steve). Here's who qualifies as in-district royalty:
- Austin ISD Romeo(s) and Juliets: Living within the glorious boundaries of Austin Independent School District? You're golden!
- City Slickers with an ACC Address: Do you strut your stuff within the city limits of Austin (including some slivers of Eanes ISD and Pflugerville ISD)? Welcome to the in-district club!
- School District Matchmaker: Residing in Del Valle ISD, Elgin ISD, Hays CISD, Leander ISD, Manor ISD, Round Rock ISD? You and ACC are a perfect match!
But wait, there's more! This list isn't exhaustive. If your school district isn't mentioned, fear not, intrepid learner! You might still be considered "in-district adjacent" (it's a thing, trust us).
Not-So-Secret Strategies to Confirm Your In-District Status
Alright, so you've skimmed the list and are itching to know for sure. Here are a couple of ways to confirm your in-district status:
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
- Channel Your Inner Sherlock: Grab your magnifying glass (or a web browser) and head to the ACC website's "ACC District & Service Area" page [ACC district service area]. There you'll find a map and a list of included school districts.
- Dial Up Your Inner Detective: Feeling more Columbo than Holmes? Give the friendly folks at any ACC campus Admissions and Enrollment Office a call. They'll be happy to crack the case of your residency status.
Remember: Honesty is the best policy, even when it comes to figuring out your college district. Don't accidentally catfish ACC by claiming in-district status if you're not.
