Do you need to switch from an ACE classroom to ACE Distance?

If you are currently enrolled in a college classroom for the ACE program, ACE Distance provides you with the opportunity to enhance and continue your in-class studies if…

• Your chosen courses are not available through the classroom (e.g., Biology, Chemistry and Physics, goal-specific maths such as Technology, Apprenticeship and Business)
• You have to take a leave of absence
• Your work schedule changes and it’s impractical for you to attend class
• Your personal situation changes and you are unable to attend
• Your classroom location closes or downsizes during the summer and you want to continue your studies

Talk to your classroom teacher to discuss whether registering for an ACE Distance course is suitable for you. You don’t have to start the course again. We can transfer your current grades to the ACE Distance teacher. If you and your classroom teacher decide that transferring to ACE Distance is best for you, contact Lynne Wallace at l.wallace@xplornet.com to start the process. You will need to provide the following information:
 

1. Your name and email address,
2. The ACE Course you want to transfer
3. The month you want to start the distance course
4. The name and location of the college you are attending
5. The name and email address of your classroom teacher.

*You will still need to successfully complete Learn to Learn to transfer.*
