ACE Weekly Update -- December 14th, 2017
Thanks for attending ACE Orientation!
We think it's really important that we all come together at least once a semester to learn together and to prepare for the new semester. Thanks for your contributions!
If you missed orientation, please check your email to find out about your options.
Delgado will be closing tomorrow and will reopen on Weds. Jan. 3rd. We hope you have a wonderful holiday!
What can I do during the break to get ready the new semester?
Great question! Here are a few tips:
Find out what book(s) you'll need for your college or certification classes.
Certification students: Your instructor will email you in the next couple weeks with this information.
College students: You'll need to use Delgado's Bookstore's website to look up what books you'll need.
Check out the resources available on the Student Support website: www.dccaep.wixsite.com/support
Get your study game started with our favorite online study tools.
Reminders:
The new session of adult education classes begins on January 15th. Remember that attendance in the first week is mandatory.
College classes for Spring 2018 begin on January 16th (unless you're in Saturday classes, which start on January 13th).
New Student Registration is Open
We are currently registering new students for the next session of classes, which begins on January 15th. If you know someone who has never registered before and would like to start classes, they can register online at www.dccaep.org or they can come to in-person registration on Friday, Dec. 15th between 8AM & 12 noon. Students who have registered before and want to return after time off can call our office at 504-671-5434 to inquire about next steps.
Have you secured your financial aid for 2018-2019? Now's the time!
The 2018-2019 FAFSA is ready. The sooner you submit your FAFSA, the more aid you're eligible to receive. Visit www.fafsa.ed.gov to complete you new FAFSA.
Remember: There will be a question that says something like, “At the time you begin school, which of the following will you have? High school diploma / High school equivalency / Home school diploma / None of the above” You MUST select “None of the above” if you do not already have your high school equivalency or diploma.

Student of the Week: Eric Watson
Eric Watson was selected as Student of the Week back in September but only just now came to pick up his award!! He's persevered in the face of a few unexpected challenges and he's always seeking improvement. We appreciate his friendly attitude, his humor, and his willingness to accept advice. Congratulations, Eric!
