General information
Who Can Enroll
AACC’s noncredit courses are open to anyone
with or without a diploma or degree who is
16 years or older by the first day of class. Classes
for students younger than 16 years old are
offered through Kids in College and Family Time
Intergenerational courses. For intergenerational
courses, all youths must register and be
accompanied by a registered adult. Out-of-county
residents are charged additional fees. Tuition
waivers for students with disabilities receiving SSI
or SSDI are available for some noncredit, continuing
education workforce development and life skills
courses. Only enrolled students may attend class.
Student ID
Register for noncredit courses using your
AACC ID number or last four digits of your
Social Security number to avoid duplicate records
and mailings. Parents registering their children
must use the child’s student ID.
Course Costs for
NonCounty Residents
The price stated at the end of each course
description is the total cost, including
registration, tuition and supplies, lab or other fees,
if any, for county residents. There is an additional
charge of $10 per noncredit course for residents
of other Maryland counties and $25 per course for
out-of-state residents.
A business or agency located in Anne Arundel
County, which pays tuition for a nonresident
employee/student, is not subject to the surcharge.
Courses that do not follow these guidelines have
costs indicated with course information.
Course Costs for Seniors
Maryland residents age 60 or older by the
first day of class may have the tuition portion
of the course cost waived for courses which do
not have a dagger (†) next to the price and are
not senior-only classes. For these tuition-waived
courses, seniors will be responsible for paying a
$5 per course, course fee, any fees indicated in the
course description and the out-of-county fee if
applicable. Seniors residing out of state must pay
the full course cost (including tuition, registration
and course lab fee) plus the out-of-county and the
out-of-state fees.
86
For all courses marked with a dagger (†) next
to the course price, senior students must pay full
course cost (including tuition, registration and
course fee) plus out-of-county and out-of-state
fees, if applicable.
For senior-only courses, seniors age 60 or older
may take an unlimited number of courses for $80
per three-month cycle plus supply fees if listed and
out-of-county and out-of-state fees if applicable.
Students age 55-59 pay $40 tuition per course
in addition to the $80 three-month cycle fee. For
questions concerning the pricing for these courses,
call 410-777-2325.
Payment and Refund Policy
Payment for noncredit courses is due at the
time of registration. AACC accepts American
Express, MasterCard, Visa, Discover, check, money
order and cash. Cash is only accepted at the Records
and Registration office on the Arnold campus.
No refund will be given after the class has
started. To receive a refund for a noncredit course
that has not started, drop the course via touch-tone
phone using STARS at 410-777-2241, by mail, in
person or through MyAACC. Your written request
must be received by the Registrar, Records and
Registration office, before the first class session.
Finding Your
Noncredit Class
You may check your class locations through
MyAACC (MyCourses), STARS, the college’s website
(enter course number in the course search box on
the home page), by checking your printed course
confirmation or by calling 410-777-2325. Some
class locations may not be assigned until a week
before the class starts. Classroom assignments
at the public schools and other sites will be
prominently displayed and an on-site coordinator
will be available to assist you in finding your class.
Course Cancellations
The college may cancel a course that lacks
sufficient enrollment a week before it is scheduled
to begin. When a course is canceled, we make every
effort to notify all registered students promptly. A full
refund is processed automatically unless the student
elects to transfer to another course or section. You can
help avoid cancellations by registering at least two
weeks before the starting date.
Wait List Procedures
The wait list is an electronic roster of eligible
students who are waiting for a seat to become
available in a closed (filled) section. The wait list
stores names in order of request to allow access
to seats that may become available. There are no
wait list limits for Continuing Education/noncredit
courses.
If a seat becomes available in a Continuing
Education/noncredit course, the system will
automatically call you at your phone number on
record. You are required to call the Instructional
Support Center within 24 hours at 410-777-2325
to complete your registration or you will lose your
position on the wait list.
You can use MyAACC to view your wait lists,
monitor your position on your wait lists and remove
yourself from any unwanted wait lists.

conditions occur, listen to local radio, TV stations,

locations are canceled.

close as a result of scheduled (nonemergency)
closings, AACC classes will meet.

continuing education courses scheduled to begin
prior to the opening time will be canceled for
that day.

Mission
AACC Foundation
The Anne Arundel Community College Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)3 corporation charged with the mission of securing and stewarding private funds to
enhance AACC's educational endeavors. The foundation supports AACC to maintain its standing as a premier learning community whose students and
graduates are among the best prepared citizens and workers of the world.
Ways to invest
When you invest in AACC with gifts of cash, appreciated securities, real property or through an estate gift, you are ensuring continuity of
educational excellence at Anne Arundel Community College. We encourage you to consider a gift to the AACC Foundation – which exists solely to
provide financial resources to the college and its priorities.
MEMORIAL AND TRIBUTE GIFTS
These gifts are provided in loving memory of a friend or family member
or given on a special occasion. They are a special way to pay tribute to
those who are dear to you. Please be sure to give us the names and
contact information of friends and loved ones as we will send a special
card recognizing your generosity.
ANNUAL GIFTS
Annual gifts are the cornerstone of the AACC Foundation fundraising
effort. They provide needed funds for special programs and projects that
support Anne Arundel Community College.
TAX-FREE GIVING THROUGH
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (IRA)
If you are older than age 70½, the federal government now permits you
to roll over amounts up to $100,000 from your IRA to charity without
claiming any increased income or paying any additional tax. Simply
contact your IRA custodian and request that an amount be transferred to
the AACC Foundation Inc. before Dec. 31, 2013.
PLANNED GIFTS
We hope you will remember AACC in your gift planning process. There
are many ways to make a lasting commitment to the college and its
students. Planned gifts can provide tremendous benefit to the college
while helping you to save taxes, increase your income and pass your
estate onto your heirs.
GIFTS TO SUPPORT STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
One of our greatest needs is for student scholarships. While tuition
remains reasonable, the combined cost of educational and living
expenses means that many students require financial aid. The
foundation’s privately funded scholarship program provides that aid for
hundreds of students each year.
MATCHING GIFTS
Many businesses and corporations offer a matching gifts program to
their employees. By including your company's matching gift form with
your donation, you can double or even triple, the size of your gift.
LEADERSHIP GIFTS TO SUPPORT AACC FACULTY AND PROGRAMS
AACC offers many opportunities to partner with and support its faculty
and to invest in new or existing programs to enhance student learning.
We work with you to ensure your leadership level gift reaches the
faculty or study area of your interest, and maximizes its impact on
student success.
For more information about the foundation and its activities, as well as
opportunities for investment in AACC and its students, please contact
the foundation office at 410-777-2515 or foundation@aacc.edu.
Visit our website: www.aacc.edu/foundation where you may also
make a donation online. When making a gift by check, please make it
payable to: AACC Foundation Inc. and mail it to: AACC Foundation,

student within 14 days of the payment plan agreement. For a list of courses that qualify, visit
