Adult and Community Education

Fall 2021 Update

NJC Adult and Community Education Center moved! Over the 2021 summer, ACE moved from the beloved ACE building on Sidney avenue into the heart of the NJC campus in the Knowles Hall building. Now NJC ACE is fully integrated into the college campus and we are thrilled for our students to have an introduction to campus life! Be sure to check out our new location in Knowles Hall Rooms 106 - 111. Use the west entrance of the Monahan Learning Center to access our location. 

NJC ACE is excited to welcome students back to our locations and happy to continue to offer in-person, hybrid and fully remote instruction options for all of our students. To continue to reduce the spread of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) in the campus community, social distancing and masks are encouraged before entering campus buildings.

NJC ACE offers in-person traditional classes in Sterling, Holyoke and Yuma. Remote learning options are available for both GED preparation and ESL.

Please contact Vanessa Soliz at Vanessa.soliz@njc.edu or 970-521-6793 to schedule your registration appointment for Adult Basic Education (GED preparation) and English as a Second Language (ESL).
