What Are Ace Credits?

Most universities accept transfer credits from other universities, technical colleges, or community colleges; however, some schools also accept college credit for nontraditional learning experiences, such as workplace training, military service, or certifications. These credits are evaluated by the American Council on Education and help students complete their degrees quickly, which helps lower the financial burden many college students face.

‍ACE transcripts provide documentation of these credits, which may be applicable for college credit or advanced placement. Acceptance of ACE transfer credits varies by institution, so it's important for students to verify how these credits can be utilized at their selected colleges.
