English Basic Skills (EBS) classes are designed for students who are just beginning to study English. These classes address listening, speaking, reading and writing skills that are used for work and everyday life.
To request accommodations, contact AACC’s Disability Support Services office at dss@aacc.edu or 410-777-1411. Many accommodations require early planning so requests for accommodations should be made as soon as possible.
*F1 and J1 visa holders are not eligible for English Basic Skills classes. We encourage students to take our English for Academic Purposes or Interactive English classes. For information contact the ELL office.
