Top-level facilities & services

College Excel operates out of two complementary facilities that provide a solid platform from which students can launch into new academic and personal endeavors. These facilities are located just minutes from each other, student housing, the COCC/OSU campus and downtown Bend.

ACE: Our Academic Center for Excellence is where we provide our academic support services. Designed with college students in mind, ACE is a hip, state-of-the-art facility free of distractions, and offering different academic levels of support and guidance. To ensure academic success, we provide each student with a team of learning specialists, advisors and tutors, as well as supervised study groups, skill development courses, private study rooms and a computer lab. ACE also offers foundational, college-accredited courses taught by hand-picked professors to complement the classes students take at Oregon State University-Cascades and Central Oregon Community College.

Community House: The heart and soul of CE is a warm and cozy bungalow with a great yard and garden. The Community House hosts all of our personal support services, including our Life Coaching offices, peer support meetings and student activities. It also offers an inviting place for students to kick back, grab a snack or meet with fellow students. The facility is open day and night, so students always have a safe, quiet retreat for studying or simply relaxing.
