up the missing subjects in one of the following
ways:
1. By taking an examination in the subject(s), provided
the examination is taken before work in
the subject is done in college;

six semester hours absolves one and one-half
units);
3. By making an average grade of C on 30 semester
hours of work in the freshman year;
4. By ranking in the top 25 percent of the freshman
class, based on ACT scores.

Freshman Orientation
All new students with fewer than 30 semesterhours must take this 2-day program at one of

be in the first group of Freshmen to register for
Fall classes.

Battery of Tests and the Inter-action Seminar. A
discussion of various phases of college life, including
academic course planning and scheduling,
is designed to help you find your place in
ACC. Students who earn credit by examination
are NOT exempt from orientation.

high school, and have your scores sent to ACC.

to take chemistry at ACC.
