Financial Aid There has been an increase in FA recipients and awards, but there has been a decrease in Pell Grant recipients. FA outreach has been a high priority. They are building their outreach team and have been making connections with non-profit organizations. The department recently purchased Campus Communicator for award letters (interactive award letters). Looking into texting the student when they have been awarded. New FAFSA application for FY24. Non-citizen refugee students should be referred to the FA office to determine if they qualify for FA assistance. Continuing Education The department and main operations have been moved to NRG BLDG 4000 (old bookstore area.) Enrollment has gone up and seems to be going steady. Adult Education Student demand is very high. They had to close their ESOL program application within 2 hours of opening. They are looking into their process to see what can be changed to accommodate more students. They are in need of more courses but do not have enough professors. Advising They have reimagined Advising Caseload Management. All students should now have an assigned advisor. Assigned advisors may be found on My ACC. For students who do not have an assigned advisor, they should be directed to the online advising team. https://www.austincc.edu/students/advising/areas-of-study-advising/online-advising Update: The Registration Start Dates and Beginning of Semester Payment Deadlines document in the Google drive and linked here has been updated to reflect the January 2 college closed date, which was changed after the payment dates were originally set.
