Welcome to ACE

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." -Aristotle

A wide spectrum of Mount Mercy students come to the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), but they all have one thing in common; a desire to bring their skills to a new level of excellence. We help underprepared students prepare, prepared students advance, and advanced students excel. Our goal is to help you become a more independent and efficient learner. A friendly and caring place, ACE's services are personalized and flexible. ACE provides walk-in assistance during office hours and also offers one-on-one and small group guidance with regularly scheduled appointments. ACE is open to all students, free of charge.

"I utilized the ACE resources all four years of college. By having their assistance on particular subjects, my assignments for school went from being quality work to exceptional. I would recommend this resource to anyone who attends Mount Mercy."
– Katie Kula, ’08
