Admissions & Records: Add Authorization Codes (AACs)

Add Authorization Codes (AACs) replace instructor signed Add/Drop slips. AACs are not transferable and it is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct to give an AAC to another student.

If you receive an AAC, register online through your myAVC account on the day that you receive the code.  If you are attempting registration in a lecture/lab course, you need to obtain both AACs before registering online.

Excerpt from Student Code of Conduct:

Section 2 .2(a)  Forgery, alteration, or misuse of college documents, records, identification, or knowingly furnishing false information to the college.  Abuse of and/or tampering with the registration process.
