FAQ I have already completed some of the courses offered by ACE. Can I still participate in this program? Absolutely. You'll need to make a counseling appointment and go over the classes that you’ve completed with the counselor. There may be classes that you have already taken and don’t need to retake them again. Is it possible for me to take just one of the courses in the 8 week session? While we encourage students to take the package of courses together, under some circumstances a student might be able to take only one of the courses offered in the 8 week session. You should consult with the coordinator of the program to determine if this is a possibility.
Are units from
the ACE program any different from the regular American River College
courses? What about graduation? The units are exactly the same as any
ARC class. If you earn an AA, you
will qualify to participate in the ARC graduation ceremony. I have been assessed (tested) and am at a level lower than the English courses being offered later in the program. How will I be able to get ready in order to take the classes scheduled in the program? The English courses typically are offered a year into the program. This allows students to take any pre-requisite courses that are needed in the summers preceding the required courses or at other times convenient to the student. Will childcare be available at the Ethan Way Center? At this time, no childcare is provided at the Ethan Way Center. What is the difference between getting an A.A. and transferring? Do I need an A.A. degree if I transfer? We highly recommend that you work toward an A.A. (Associate of Arts) degree before transferring, even though an A.A. is not a requirement for transfer. Earning an A.A. is an achievement in itself. Besides, you don’t know where life will take you a few years from now: your work responsibilities increase, moving or taking care of the family may result in a delay of earning your bachelor's degree. It's always good to have achieved that intermediate goal in your plans for higher education. More questions? Contact us via e-mail: ace@arc.losrios.edu |
