==Overview==

DA Pamphlet 351-20, The Army Correspondence Course Program Catalog, is an Army publication. The catalog lists all correspondence courses developed and administered by the Army and select [[Department of Defense]] activities. The [[Army Institute for Professional Development]] (AIPD) publishes a yearly revision of the catalog each October to update the ACCP curriculum and any procedural changes to the program. The entire ACCP curriculum and an electronic enrollment form are also listed at the [[Army Training Support Center’sCenter]]’s Web site. The ACCP Catalog offers two types of study: individual and group.

AIPD's automated student record system limits students to one course enrollment, or to one course enrollment and a subcourse enrollment, at any one time. But, this limitation applies only to the courses and subcourses administered by AIPD. Each subcourse is awarded a specific number of credit hours, noted in ACCP Catalog Chapter 3 at the individual subcourse descriptions and usually included on the title page of a subcourse. The number of credit hours for any given subcourse is based on the estimated time required for a student to read the material and complete all practice exercises and the examination. If a subcourse is assigned six credit hours, the author(s) of the subcourse probably timed someone as they read the entire subcourse, performed each practice exercise, then completed the examination. They then rounded this amount of time off to the nearest hour and awarded it as the credit hours for the subcourse.

Recently, the way to do the courses have changed. You must use ALMS on the AKO website to do the correspondence cources now. Also there are only certain course you can take that have migrated from ACCP to ALMS. So, the ones that you have done already might not show up in the system. You can find the migrated list on the AIPDs' website where ACCP is located.
