ACE Program

The Athletes Commit to Excellence (ACE) program at Elgin Community College is an academic monitoring program that helps student-athletes learn the necessary skills to help them succeed.

Below are some of the requirements and guidelines for the ACE Program:

• The program aims for each student-athlete to achieve academic, athletic and personal success by learning life skills that will be a foundation for their future successes.
• The athletics staff will have individual team meetings to discuss the rules and benefits of the program and answer questions about academic success.
• Each student-athlete will be monitored and provided with tools and assistance to help them grow into self-sufficient individuals.
• Student-athletes will be held responsible for a mandatory of two hours per week of study time on campus.
• Each student-athlete will be given information on the free tutoring options available to them. Student-athletes may count their time spent in tutoring sessions toward their study time requirement.
• If a student-athlete has acheived a 3.0 GPA in their first semester, they may opt out of on-campus study tables.
