CUNY ACE Program debuts at CCNY with inaugural cohort of transfer students

The City College of New York launched the CUNY ACE Program (Accelerate, Complete, Engage) with its inaugural cohort of transfer students that started this fall. ACE is a comprehensive program designed to help transfer students complete their bachelor’s degree in two years at an accelerated pace. 
 
CCNY ACE is designed to empower transfer students who have completed their associate degree to advance in their educational studies. The program is made possible with funding from the Robin Hood Foundation.

The program is housed within the new Student Academic Success Hub (The Hub), formerly the Gateway Academic Center (GAC), under the leadership of Celia Lloyd, vice president of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, Marva Bain, director of the Student Academic Success Hub, and Gabby Rosario, ACE director. 

Modeled after CUNY’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP), ACE provides financial, academic and personal support, including intensive academic advisement and career development, as well as tuition, textbook and transportation assistance.  

To be considered for the ACE Program, transfer students must meet the following criteria that can be found here. For more information on how to apply to the ACE Program, please click here.
