American College of Education delivers its courses in Canvas, which you reach through the MyACE student portal. Inside a course you find the readings and presentations, the discussions, and the ACE assessments (ACE's word for the graded deliverables), with your grades and rubric feedback a click away. MyACE is the wrapper around all of it — enrollment, your payment plan, and the link into Canvas. Because ACE terms are short, the day-one habit matters: log in, read the syllabus and rubrics, and look at what the first assessment asks.
MyACE is the hub, Canvas is the classroom
Two systems, two jobs. MyACE is your student portal — enrollment, your monthly payment plan, and the door into your courses. Canvas is where the learning happens: the readings, the discussions, and the assessments. Knowing which system does what saves you hunting for a payment setting inside a course, or a course inside the portal.
How an ACE course is laid out
A Canvas course holds the presentations and readings, the discussions, and the assessments — ACE's term for the graded work — with due dates attached, and your grades and rubric feedback in the same course. Because assessments are the graded units, the rubric attached to each one is the thing to read before you begin.
The day-one setup that saves a short term
ACE terms run short, so orientation up front pays off. On day one, read the syllabus, open the rubric for each assessment, and look at what the first one asks. Five minutes of looking ahead turns a compressed term into a plan instead of a weekly surprise.
Where a tutor fits
We help you work inside the ACE rhythm: understanding an assessment's rubric, building the deliverable to it, and keeping a short term's discussions and assessments on schedule.
