What is Advanced College Credit (ACC)?
OCHS Students have the opportunity to receive college credits for some of their high school courses through a dual credit program at Clackamas Community College called Advanced College Credit. By the time these students graduate from high school they already have a head start on college credits at a cost far below regular college tuition prices, saving both time and money when they start their next steps after graduation.
Specific courses at OCHS offer ACC Credits. Please refer to the list of eligible courses on the CCC website.
This program is a dual credit program with Clackamas Community College.
Registration is done thru CCC to receive college credit.

1) How to Register:
Step 1: New students apply to CCC at www.clackamas.edu/acc/register to create an account by clicking on the ‘Programs at my High School’ application button.
Step 2: Students register for their ACC courses through Self Service. Attached are registration instructions. Translations of registration instructions as well as a step-by-step video walking through the process can be found at www.clackamas.edu/acc/register .
Step 3: Students pay for ACC fees (see instructions) unless on Free/Reduced Lunch, then student contacts counselor to request waiver. Counselors or teachers can email me and let me know if they have a student that needs a waiver. Students who received fall and/or winter waivers are automatically placed on the waiver list for spring term. Waivers will be processed at the end of the reg. period.
2) How To Get Help with Registration:
Email & Phone: The best and quickest way students can receive help is emailing accinfo@clackamas.edu. Please direct students and families there with any questions they may have. The most common things students need help with is password reset and accessing their CCC account, which is easily done over email. Students can also call 503-594-3499 but it may take up to 48 hours to receive a phone response, due to the high volume of calls received. I have also attached a helpful guide to share with students who need help accessing their CCC accounts.
ACC Registration Night: ACC staff will be available to walk through the ACC registration process during an evening session from 6-7 pm on Thursday May 4. Students can sign up through the link on the attached flyer.
ACC Registration Help at Oregon City HS: ACC staff will be available to help students in the College & Career Center all day April 12th – please send us students who need help!
