Academic Center for Excellence

Welcome to the Academic Center for Excellence!

The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), one of UIC’s largest success units and the largest first-year student-serving center, provides learning and support services to enable all UIC students to accomplish their academic goals. Through the cultivation of supportive relationships, coaching, and academic skill development, students will learn how to navigate UIC, make connections across campus, and build the necessary skills to thrive in college and beyond.
