ACES Course 2023-24

ACES APPLICATION

ACES classes begin at the start of each fall semester. Individuals interested in applying to the ACES program should be prepared to commit to both semesters of the program. It is not possible to enroll in any given certificate or class independently. All classes are held on Friday mornings, from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ACES will be offered remotely.    

  • Applications for the 2023-2024 course will open on June 1, 2023 must be submitted by June 23, 2023.
  • Accepted applicants will be notified of their enrollment in ACES by the end of July.
  • The total cost for the 2023-2024 ACES course is $800.00 and will be billed in one transaction in December.

Participants will be provided materials electronically and Canvas will be used as the course management system.

Class size is limited. In the event the program reaches class capacity, the ACES Review Committee will determine enrollment based on relevance to current position and level of experience.

Due to the increasing demand for ACES and our desire to keep the course available to those with the most need, we will no longer maintain a waitlist.
