Registration FAQs

Click on each linked question listed below to see the answer.

I cannot login to the ED system — what is wrong?

  • The ED System is not compatible with either AOL or MSN Internet browsers.
    • You must login using Internet Explorer as your Internet browser.
  • Your Student ID number is your S#, and it is case–sensitive.
    • This means you must use a capital S when you login.
  • If this is the first time you have logged into the ED System, your PIN number is your six–digit birthday:
    • MMDDYY — for example, May 16, 1986 would be 051686.
  • Forgot your PIN?
    • Enter your User ID (your S#) and click on Forgot PIN.

How do I get my Student ID number (my S#)?

Your Student ID number for the new ED System is your S#.

  • If you are a new student, you should have received your S# with your ACC admissions letter or received it via e–mail (if ACC had a valid e–mail address for you).
  • If you do not know your S#, e–mail the Admissions and Records Office at admissions@arapahoe.edu with the following information:
    • Full Name (first, middle, last)
    • Date of birth
    • Address and telephone number
  • ACC will e–mail your S# to you after we receive and confirm this information.

I am showing as a nonresident, but I have been in Colorado for over a year — what do I need to do?

  • ACC determines your residency at the time you complete your College application. See Tuition Classification Information for details.
  • You must have documentation showing you have had physical presence in Colorado for at least one year prior to the first day the semester begins. Examples of documentation may include:
    • Holding a Colorado driver’s license or motor vehicle registration
    • Paying Colorado state income taxes
    • Owning residential Colorado real estate
    • Registering to vote in Colorado
    • Being permanently employed in Colorado
  • If you are under 23 and not emancipated, the residency information you record is for your parents or legal guardian.
  • If you (and your parents or legal guardian, if applicable) are Colorado residents, and the system has recorded you as a non–resident, the information on your application may not have been complete.
  • If you are under 23, but emancipated from your parents or legal guardian, you will need to complete a Petition for In-state Tuition Classification.form.
  • If you are coming from another community college, we take the residency information determined by your “home” or previous school.
