Assessing the Classroom Environment (ACE) is an online evaluation system that collects student opinions about an instructor and provides a standard set of summary results. Instructors may or may not be required to use ACE and should check with their department to determine their options. 

ACE Evaluations are automatically scheduled when an instructor is assigned to a course section in one of the following roles: Primary Instructor, Teaching Assistant or Team Teacher. Administrators have the ability to change the ACE Evaluation to "no" on the Instructor panel in MAUI Offerings Planner. 

Administrators can also enter an alternate (override) date for the ACE Evaluation to occur. One circumstance where this might be desired is if multiple instructors are assigned to only one portion of the semester. An override date could be entered for each Instructor to trigger their evaluation at the end of the portion of instruction for a course. Evaluations will run the Sunday prior to the override date entered.

For more information please visit the ACE Website.
