mission of the Florida A & M University Athletic Center for Excellence
(ACE) is to promote excellence, enhance retention and increase graduation rates
among student athletes while empowering student-athletes to develop
independence, self-reliance, personal values, leadership skills and
responsibility for themselves.
ACE Academic Support Services
ACE advisors are responsible for monitoring the academic progress
of each student-athlete in the areas of eligibility and progress towards a
degree. ACE Advisors assist with class scheduling and major selection and
suggest tutoring where needed. ACE Advisors work closely with faculty and
coaches to promote effective communication between all parties. ACE Advisors
monitor study hall attendance and productivity, as well as checking class
attendance and grades.

also provide student-athletes with comprehensive educational services to meet
the needs of each individual. The Athletic
Center for Excellence (ACE) coordinates extensively with the
