ACE
Approved in January 2008 by the faculty of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, our new Achievement-Centered General Education Program (ACE) is built on student learning outcomes that answer the fundamental question, "What should all undergraduate students--irrespective of their majors and career aspirations--know or be able to do upon graduation?"
Presently the Office of Undergraduate Studies is working with the faculty of our eight undergraduate colleges to inaugurate ACE with the incoming class of Fall 2009. For details and updates, please check the links and documents on this web site.

Why am I receiving e-mails from "Course Approval"?
You may start noticing e-mails in your in-box from "Course Approval". This new e-mail notification tool can assist with the expedition of all course requests (not just ACE proposals) through the course approval system. Here are some things to know about it:
- The course approval system is automatically searched every two days for all items that are awaiting a decision. This search results in an e-mail that goes to anyone who has one or more items that require a "decision".
- "A decision" as it relates to ACE might mean approving, voting on, or resubmitting an ACE course proposal depending upon the role(s) you are a part of and where the course is on its path to certification.
- You will NOT receive an e-mail if, when the system is searched, you have no items awaiting a decision.
- Some individuals may have multiple roles in the system (i.e. submitter, department or program chair, IACE voter, etc.). The system will not inform you under which role the action needs to happen, only that you have pending requests in need of your attention.
- When you receive an e-mail, log in to http://courseapproval.unl.edu and look for any items that have a drop-down decision box. The list of options in that box differs depending upon under which of your roles the decision must be made.
