ACE provides a smooth transition to Grossmont College, which is a two-year public institution. Students may earn associate degrees and certificates in many different fields of study or may elect to transfer to a university after studying at Grossmont for two years. Grossmont has transfer agreements with the University of California San Diego (UCSD) and San Diego State University (SDSU), both of which are but a short drive from Grossmont College.

Transfer to Grossmont College:

After students complete an ACE session and achieve a TOEFL iBT score of 45, they may immediately transfer to Grossmont College. New to the program is the ACE conditional enrollment agreement with Grossmont College. Students who fulfill the following conditional enrollment standards during an eight-week session of ACE are eligible to enter Grossmont College without a TOEFL score because they have demonstrated that they have the English proficiency and study skills necessary to succeed in college.

To meet the ACE conditional enrollment standards and be eligible to enter Grossmont College, an ACE student must have:
1. earned a combined GPA of 3.0,
2. nine hours of absences or fewer,
3. exhibited behavior with no violation of the Grossmont College Code of Conduct, and
4. taken the Grossmont College ESL Assessment Test and placed into ESL 103 or higher.

Programs:

Five eight-week sessions are offered every year. Each eight-week ACE session consists of twenty hours per week of intermediate-level English instruction in grammar, composition, oral communication, reading, vocabulary, and TOEFL iBT preparation.

ACE instructors are college and university trained professionals. ACE instructors are also native speakers of English, and each teacher has a master's degree in TESOL or applied linguistics. ACE class sizes are small, from 10 to 15 students, which allows for more individualized instruction. In addition, ACE provides access to our computer lab with TOEFL practice and Internet and e-mail access, access to all Grossmont College student services, an ID card and benefit card, and the I-20 for a student visa.
