Keep current by checking ACES email regularly

Using ACES email is important for being successful in college, said Emma Mendiola, dean of student affairs. Every registered student in the district has an ACES account and can access it online by logging in at aces.alamo.edu. An Alamo Colleges policy enacted in May states ACES e-mail accounts are official communication.

This spring, the district expects to expand email services, add online software and provide each student with 25 GB of cloud storage.

By checking the e-mail regularly, students can access faculty messages, campus alerts, announcements or even grades in progress. Students are also notified of emergencies through ACES email. This fall, the district is changing from a paper evaluation for faculty members to an electronic form students complete online in ACES.

Mendiola said checking the ACES account regularly is encouraged because changes happen fast and ACES is one place the district can post information everyone can find.

Smartphone applications are not yet available but should be in the spring semester.
