ACE Governing Document IV established a process to recertify and assess ACE courses on a five-year rotating basis.  The ACE department assessment report summarizes the collected assessment information for each of the ACE outcomes for which the department has courses.  Those department assessment reports are then collected by the University Assessment Committee (UAC) for creation of an institutional ACE assessment report.
