I love food. I love restaurants. 

I love the people in the industry. 

I was at the top of my game in 

construction sales when the economy bottomed out. After I got laid off three 

times in two years, my wife and I decided it was time to make a change. I 

had heard Anne Arundel Community College had a great culinary program. 

Now, when people eat my food and they look at me and go, ‘wow,’ it’s a 

great feeling for me.

$5 per course, course fee, any fees indicated in the 

course description and the out-of-county fee if 

applicable. Seniors residing out of state must pay

to the course price, senior students must pay full 

course cost (including tuition, registration and 

course fee) plus out-of-county and out-of-state

For senior-only courses, seniors age 60 or older 

may take an unlimited number of senior-only 

courses for an $80 per three-month cycle plus supply 

fees if listed and out-of-county and out-of-state 

fees if applicable. Students age 55-59 pay $40

ContInuIng EduCatIon unItS 

(CEuS) 

many noncredit classes earn participants 

Continuing education units (Ceus) a nationally 

recognized measure of skills or work-related training. 

These courses meet established criteria, including 

“responsible sponsorship, capable direction and 

qualified instruction.” One CEU represents 10 class 

hours of participation in courses so designated. They 

are identified in this schedule by the words “CEUs 

awarded” in the course description. 


Certification of CEUs earned will be mailed to all 

students who successfully complete a qualifying 

noncredit course. Refer to the Student Records

mission 

The Anne Arundel Community College Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)3 corporation charged with the mission of securing and stewarding private funds to 

enhance AACC's educational endeavors. The foundation supports AACC to maintain its standing as a premier learning community whose students and 

graduates are among the best prepared citizens and workers of the world. 

ways to invest 

When you invest in AACC with gifts of cash, appreciated securities, real property or through an estate gift, you are ensuring continuity of educational 

excellence at Anne Arundel Community College. We encourage you to consider a gift to the AACC Foundation – which exists solely to 

provide financial resources to the college and its priorities. 

AnnuAL GifTs 

Annual gifts are the cornerstone of the AACC Foundation fundraising 

effort. They provide needed funds for special programs and projects that 

support Anne Arundel Community College. 

TAX-free GiVinG THrouGH 

indiViduAL reTiremenT ACCounTs (irA) 

If you are older than age 70½, the federal government now permits you 

to roll over amounts up to $100,000 from your IRA to charity without 

claiming any increased income or paying any additional tax. Simply 

contact your IRA custodian and request that an amount be transferred to 

the AACC Foundation Inc. before Dec. 31, 2012. 

GifTs To supporT sTudenT sCHoLArsHips 

One of our greatest needs is for student scholarships. While tuition 

remains reasonable, the combined cost of educational and living 

expenses means that many students require financial aid. The foundation’s 

privately funded scholarship program provides that aid for hundreds 

of students each year. 

LeAdersHip GifTs To supporT AACC fACuLTy And proGrAms 

AACC offers many opportunities to partner with and support its faculty 

and to invest in new or existing programs to enhance student learning. 

We work with you to ensure your leadership level gift reaches the 

faculty or study area of your interest, and maximizes its impact on 

student success.
