The ACE Program Application & Student Enrollment
Enrollment (please read)

Once accepted, this enrollment process must be completed prior to requesting and booking student services. The enrollment process consists of the following reading and agreeing to these items: Service Provider Guidelines; Parent/Guardian consent statement, Hold Harmless Waiver and Student Handbook Acknowledgement Form. Upon submitting this packet, the student may view their New Student Orientation Video (optional) or schedule and appointment with the SSC on the ACE website. If the enrollment process has not been completed, the student’s enrollment will be placed on hold or added to the waiting list (if applicable) and other students will be admitted into the program in their place.  
Service Provider Guidelines (please read): 

If a student wishes to attend a service the request must be made using the myACE Store. If the service has reached capacity, the student and parent/guardian will be notified if a cancellation occurs. The student will be able to schedule and attend a service on the same day only if a cancellation occurs or as permitted by the service provider.  
On-site/in-person services will be scheduled more frequently as the pandemic subsides. Information about each service is provided in the myACE store and students along with the parent/guardian will be required maintain service/activity reminders. Your myACE portal will conveniently store all your booking information to review at any time.   
The program is unable to provide separate staffing for on-site services. Parent/guardians must make adequate plans to accommodate their child’s needs prior to the scheduled service. In addition, it is understood that when a service is scheduled, the student must be able to participate as expected and agrees to maintain good behavior and follow guidelines and procedures set forth by the service provider.
