It is always important to check with the college or university you plan to attend to know how these credits will be applied. It is smart to register for the credits now, even if you are unsure of how you will use them in the future. Often times students near the end of their college program and find they are a credit or two short and if they had only registered for the college credit available through ACC, they would not be short. College credits can also be beneficial for military salary placement and employment opportunities.
