The Course Guide is a student publication which provides information on undergraduate courses. In 1999, after being absent for several years, the Course Guide returned, entitled the ACE (Academic Course Evaluation) Guide. This record group is made up solely of issues of The Course Guide from 1966 to 2006; several issues are missing, however. No other records pertaining to the publication, such as correspondence, are extant.
