• Support Center Textbook Collection
What is it?
It is a collection of textbooks selected for classes offered in workforce programs. These textbooks are purchased by the ACC Student Support Center through a grant to assist certain student groups to gain access to required textbooks. The majority of ACC textbooks are not purchased for this collection.
Books are in limited supply and students should not depend solely upon this source for their required textbook.
