ACA Policy

All students enrolled in an associate degree or diploma program are encouraged to take ACA 115 Success in Study Skills or ACA 122 College Transfer Success within their first 12 hours attempted. ACA is required for graduation in all associate degree programs.

The ACA 115/122 course requirement for associate and diploma programs may be waived for any student who meets at least one of the following conditions:

  • Has a college degree from a regionally accredited institution

  • Has completed a similar college course and has a successful academic record (cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better in previous college courses)

  • Has successfully completed (cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better) at least 30 hours of transfer credit from another college or university

  • Has completed a tour of duty in the military with the successful completion of military occupational specialty (MOS) training

  • Is taking courses as part of an apprenticeship or employer-sponsored training.

In extraordinary circumstances, the Chief Academic Officer may waive the ACA requirement for an individual student. The student will be advised that a local waiver may not be accepted by a transfer institution, especially if used for the As-sociate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS) degrees, including the Teacher Prep AA and AS degrees.
