The Academic Continuation Evaluation (ACE) is the end-of-term assessment of a student’s status in their degree. The first evaluation is made once 5.5 or more credits have been completed* at Carleton University and/or through the University of Ottawa Exchange, and all final grades in a specific term are available. Subsequent evaluations occur at the end of each term provided a course has been completed*.

*Note: A completed course is any course registration, including repeated courses, that results in a grade or notation other than WDN, IP, CTN, or AUD. Failed (F/UNS/NR) grades count as a completed course for ACE credit calculations.
