Becoming a Faculty Evaluator

Eligibility

The American Council on Education (ACE) is always looking for new faculty evaluators who are receptive to recommending academic credit for learning in an extra-institutional setting.

If you are teaching college-level courses at an accredited institution recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and have been teaching for at least five years, we invite you to apply to join our team.

Evaluators working on Military reviews must be U.S. citizens.

High Needs Areas

We need faculty from all disciplines, but we especially need faculty whose expertise aligns to military and workforce training.

Apply

To apply, or to update your information currently on file, please visit the Faculty Evaluator portal. You will be asked to attach a current curriculum vitae to the application form. ACE staff will contact you once we process your application.

​Apply Now
Selection and Review Process

After your application is accepted, ACE will contact you for availability if an upcoming review requires your area of expertise. We will also contact you periodically to request updates to your profile.

ACE creates specialized teams for each review based on the required academic areas, the balance between new and experienced evaluators, diversity in the representation of the type of higher education institution, the distance from the site where the review takes place, and the overall composition of the team.

ACE pays all evaluators a fixed fee. For onsite reviews, ACE reimburses approved travel expenses.
