In 2020-2021, the Austin Community College District Strategic Enrollment Committee guided ACC’s collective vision to develop a three-year comprehensive plan for new student enrollment. This plan (see below) aligns with ACC’s Strategic Plan to increase ACC enrollment to 85,000 annual students in 2030 through equity-focused connection and entry processes.
