Swanson School is committed to the overall success of our students, which is why we have created the Office of Retention. We take a proactive approach in supporting our students.

The ACE program is for retention purposes. When a student experiences an academic setback, they will be contacted by the Director of Retention and offered the opportunity to participate in ACE.

Those eligible for ACE are upper class Swanson School of Engineering students or undeclared students who have completed their first year and meet one or more of the following:

  • On academic probation
  • On academic warning
  • Repeating a course(s)
  • Transfer student
  • Want to enhance or maintain their current academic standing
  • Looking for additional support to effectively learn engineering class materials
