Can I start

in the middle

of a term?

Students can enroll in the ACE Intensive English Program after a term has started.
Late F1 enrollees must take a placement test before they can enroll in a course. Refer to the Initial Placement page for a full explanation of placement procedures. Late enrollees are required to attend an initial orientation within three class days of their start date.

Institute ACE seeks to accommodate our students by offering ongoing enrollment.  Students may be admitted to existing classes at any time with the understanding that the course will continue apace and that advancement to the next level depends on demonstrating adequate progress on all level outcomes, including skills covered before the student enrolled in the course. 

Students who enroll in classes after the start date do so with the explicit acknowledgement that they have missed important instruction, that the course will continue apace, and that advancement to the next level depends on demonstrating adequate progress on all level outcomes including skills covered before the student entered the class.  It is the student’s responsibility to conform to established class procedures and to procure additional help if needed or desired.  Academic counseling is available through the Academic Leadership Team.
