The new process is called the Academic Continuation Evaluation (ACE), and it allows leniency in the first year of studies and encourages incremental progress towards your degree requirements. The regulations governing ACE can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/calendar.carleton.ca\/undergrad\/regulations\/academicregulationsoftheuniversity\/regulations-for-degree-students\/#academic-continuation-evaluation\">Section 3.2 of the Undergraduate Calendar<\/a>. ACE replaces the Academic Performance Evaluation (APE).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please consult the Registrar\u2019s information page on the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/registrar\/ace\/\">Academic Continuing Evaluation (ACE)<\/a> to learn more about how the new assessment process works and what it means for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about ACE requirements or are concerned about your progress in your degree, please see the Political Science Advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/dl>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"my-program\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    \n    <dl class=\"cu-description cu-component-updated\">\n        \n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-what-is-a-program-element-and-how-many-can-i-have\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    What is a program element and how many can I have?\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-what-is-a-program-element-and-how-many-can-i-have\">\n            \n\n<p>Program elements are the Majors, Minors, Concentrations and Specializations that you have included in your degree.
