Austin Community College (ACC) Admissions Fall 2014

Published

Here we go, new thread for the people who weren't able to get in the Spring 2014.

Seems like every semester the number of people admitted to the course is dropping.

2013 Spring - Admitted 127

2013 Fall - Admitted 117

2014 Spring - Admitted 111

Couple of years ago they were admitting 160 students a semester, so this is a disturbing trend for us who are waiting to get in to the course.

Any reason you chose evc as your top choice?

I've taken several classes there and I like the campus. You can always find parking and it's close to me.

Thanks for the response Jennhome5696. Does anyone know what colored scrubs we will need (how many pairs)? Also, what shoes are we required to wear?

Up Vote Up Vote ×

Not 100% sure. I know you can purchase scrubs through them. They are teal color. I'm sure all that info will be in the emails they send out and orientation.

I was accepted as well! My top choices 1)EVC 2)CEC 3)RR

Currently taking skills in RR, but it is like an hour away from me :/

Haha yeah same here! That's why RR was my last choice. Congrats! If you ever want to get together and practice skills let me know. I've already taken the class but it could still benefit both of us.

For those of us applying for the mobility program, the rankings just came out today with the acceptance letters due on the 20th.

Fingers crossed!

Once you are in the nursing program, you need to wear ACC teal scrubs with patch to clinicals.

Dress code can vary for lab days and open lab depending on the campus. At CEC, we wore street clothes on lecture days and ACC teal scrubs on lab days. CEC is different because they require ACC teal scrubs for open lab as well.

Check with your specific campus for open lab dress code--for example, EVC isn't too picky about open lab attire as long as you wear closed-toe shoes.

Congratulations to all incoming Level 1's! You'll love the ACC nursing program :)

One more thing: as of the Spring 2014 handbook, nursing students can wear (mostly) solid white, black, or grey shoes with the ACC teal scrubs. But please check your current handbook for updated requirements. According to the ADN homepage, the Fall 2014 handbook will be available after July 15.

That brings me to another point--if you're in the program, check the ADN homepage, your ACC email, and Blackboard DAILY. You will miss a ton of important info if you don't check these resources.

Has anyone gotten their placement letters? I have yet to find out which location I was assigned to.
