AC 101 is an online course designed for both new and returning students. In AC 101, students can discover ways to prepare for their first term, explore strategies for distance learning, learn how to stay connected with virtual events, identify which department to contact for various services, and review important changes for the upcoming term.
Feeling nervous about your first term at Alexander College? Reviewing AC 101 is a good way to reduce new student anxiety, introduces important student resources, and helps you prepare for your first week. New students are encouraged to start reviewing AC 101 prior to attending New Student Orientation and the start of the term.
Students should set-aside two hours to complete AC 101. This time can be broken up over several days and does not need to be completed in one session.
AC 101 is divided into seven sections that are designed to be reviewed in the order displayed (left to right, top to bottom). The sections were designed to build upon each other, so by the end of the course, students feel confident about starting the new term.
* If you are a new student and have already reviewed your Welcome Package, you may skip this section and start with ‘Your First Term of Study’.
If you are a returning student, you may skip the first two sections and start at ‘Office of Student Affairs’.

Once you have reviewed each section of AC 101, test your knowledge with the AC 101 Final Quiz.
The AC 101 Final Quiz is made up of 20, multiple-choice questions that covers important content from each section of AC 101. All students who pass the AC 101 Final Quiz before the deadline are automatically eligible for a +1 participation bonus mark in each of your classes.
To take the AC 101 Final Quiz, login to your MyAC account and click ‘My Current Courses’. The AC 101 Final Quiz will appear as a course. Click ‘Take Quiz’ to start.
Students have an unlimited number of attempts to pass the Final Quiz. To pass, students must earn a score of 16/20 or higher.
The AC 101 Final Quiz is available for a limited time each term and will disappear from your MyAC account after your first midterm exam. We recommend completing the AC 101 Final Quiz at the start of each term, ideally within the first three weeks or before your first midterm exam, whichever comes first.
While there are many reasons to complete AC 101, some of the most notable benefits include:
* All students who pass the AC 101 Final Quiz prior to the deadline are automatically eligible for a bonus mark in each of their classes.
Yes! AC 101 contains a lot of important information students should be familiar with. However, it can be a lot to review in one sitting.
We recommend breaking up AC 101 into a few different sessions, taking the time to explore the different departments, additional content, and watch our interactive tutorials!
The score displayed below the course name is your best score across all attempts. This means, if your score has not changed after several attempts, you have not beat your highest score.
Students have an unlimited amount of attempts to pass the AC 101 Final Quiz. The passing mark is 16/20 or 80%.
Once you have successfully passed the quiz, this will appear under the AC 101 Final Quiz course in MyAC. Your AC 101 Final Quiz mark will be automatically submitted to each of your instructor’s gradebooks. You will receive the bonus participation mark by the end of the term.
If the quiz has disappeared from your MyAC account, unfortunately the deadline has passed to complete the quiz for this term. While we do our best to provide an accurate timeline for completion, we cannot predict the exact date for each student.
The AC 101 Final Quiz (and associated bonus mark) is available for students each term and is worth approximately 1% of a student’s final grade. This means you will have future opportunities to receive a bonus mark.
