You are encouraged to submit transcripts electronically as this will significantly reduce the amount of time needed to process transcripts. For official transcripts the primary resource is Parchment. Transcripts can be accepted through a number of electronic formats (EDI, E-Script and National Student Clearinghouse). You should be able to request that transcripts be sent electronically from your prior institution to AACC via records@aacc.edu. Transcripts submitted by mail will have a significantly increased processing time.
You may email your paper application as a PDF file to healthsciencesadmissions@aacc.edu. Once the application is received, you'll receive a reply email. If you do not receive a reply within two business days, please email us again.
Do not email your full date of birth or Social Security number. These are not requested on your application and we want to make sure that no protected information is sent via email. A copy of your driver’s license or other government-issued photo ID is no longer required so you don't need to email a copy with your application.
Before emailing the address verification and supporting documentation that is required by your program of interest, white out financial, date of birth or other confidential information that may be on the documents.
In addition, paper applications may be mailed to:
