ACC Billing Information/Error

From our College Partner ACC – regarding student invoice emails:

We have become aware of an automated email that was sent to all students from our billing department that leads them to their MyACC student bill. This is causing confusion for many CE students as they are still seeing a balance.

This is not a statement that is sent, but it is a statement that can be accessed through a student’s myACC account. Unfortunately, Concurrent Enrollment (CE) students will show a balance until the bill is sent to the district, district makes payment, and then payment is processed – which can take some time. The student can ignore the email and balance at this time. It will remain until late Spring.

We are working with our Cashier’s office to edit the language on the invoice and to remove CE students from distribution.

Please reach out to your advisor if you have any additional questions. 

Spring Musical Theatre Updates

CECDC's Spring Musical will be Crazy for You!!! There will be three shows from April 14th to 15th. Now that roles are cast and rehearsals are in full swing, please remember to save the dates on your calendar.
