General Registration Information: Fall 2015
Fall 2015 Registration begins on April 13, 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.
In 2015-2016, the colleges are closed: Monday, September 1; Thursday, November 27-Sunday, November 30; Monday, December 22-Sunday, January 4; Monday, January 19; Monday, March 9-Sunday, March 15; Friday, April 3-Sunday, April 5; Friday, April 24; and Thursday and Friday, July 2 & 3. The colleges are also closed on Fridays during summer months, specific dates June 1-August 31.
Open registration for all students beginning April 27, 2015 also applies to the following categories of students:
- Newly Admitted
- Dual Credit
- Gateway
- Early College High School
- Academies
- Senior Citizens not using a tuition waiver
- Virtual College
Check the number of hours on your record by following these steps:

- Select Student

Any Unpaid Tuition and Fee Balance May Result in Students Being Dropped From All Courses. However, if you do not plan to attend, please drop your courses through ACES or in person at the Enrollment Services/Admissions and Records office before classes begin to ensure a 100% refund. You can check your registration status via ACES.
