General Registration Information: Summer 2015

Summer 2015 Registration begins on March 23, 2015 and proceeds according to time ticketing. Time ticketing is based on the total number of hours earned from the Alamo Colleges plus any transfer hours that have been posted to your record, as reflected in the Student ACES System. Additional registration and payment information is available on the Alamo Colleges Registration/Payment Calendars.

All first-time-in-college students are encouraged to begin the enrollment process early in order to complete all admissions, testing, and registration requirements by the posted deadlines. The Steps to Enrollment  provides a checklist of requirements.
