ACE registration instructions

Step 1: Register

If you have already used ACE, do not reregister. Your username and password are your linkBlue username, which usually has a format such as jjrobi226, and password. Use the UK password management tool to manage your linkBlue (and ACE Organic) password.

1. Go to the ACE login page.
2. Press Register.
3. Enter your first and last names; middle initial is optional.
4. Check the appropriate boxes:
   • If you prefer your family name to come before your given name, as is common in parts of Asia;
   • If you prefer dates to be written day-month-year, European-style.
5. Enter your linkBlue username. It should be something like jxqz223.
6. Enter your eight-digit UK ID number, beginning with 0 or 1. Do NOT enter the leading 9 if it makes it nine digits.
7. If you would like to receive text messages or emails from ACE when new assignments are posted, due dates are changed, or someone responds to your forum post, enter the appropriate email address. For example, if you use AT&T and your cell phone number is (859) 867-5309, you should enter 8598675309@txt.att.net to receive text messages at that number. Leave this field blank if you don't want to receive messages from ACE.
8. Press Register. (If you get an error message, ignore it.)

Step 2: Login and enter a course

1. Go back to the ACE login page.
2. Enter your linkBlue username and password, and press the return or enter key or the Login button.
3. You will see a Tutorials course, and you should also see the name of your current organic chemistry course. Click on the name of a course to enter it.
   • If all you see is the Tutorials course, you have probably entered your UK ID number (eight digits beginning with 1 or 0, not 9) incorrectly. Press My Profile and make sure it is correct. If it is, contact your instructor.

You'll now arrive at the Course Home Page. You'll see four tabs and four buttons, which are available on every page.

• Course Home brings you to the present page.
• Assignments brings you to a list of assignments. Click on the name of an assignment to work on it.
• Forum (not shown in the Tutorials course) provides a discussion forum for you and your classmates. If you have questions about the material, this is the place to post them.
• Grade Book lets you look at your grades.
• My Courses returns you to the list of courses in which you are enrolled, including Tutorials.
• My Profile allows you to change your name, text messages address, or other personal information.
• Help opens the user manual (in a new window). The user manual hasn't been updated in years, so I can't vouch for its accuracy.
• Logout logs you out of ACE Organic.
