American College Education (ACE) ACE allows students to take college courses taught by a college-approved instructor while still in high school. Classes are similar in content and scope to courses taught on college campuses, but the advantage is that it is approximately half the cost and can be transferred in as college credit. The maximum number of transferable credits is 12 and requires a minimum grade of C- to be eligible. Students must have at least a junior standing in order to transfer credits, and a regionally accredited college must administer the course. Upon receipt of official transcripts, the Registrar will determine the number of credits that are transferable.
