My Academic Plan - MAP Your Future!


Cap and DiplomaMAP is an exciting and unique program designed to guide you through the process of creating your own personal academic plan. Using MAP assumes that you have a clearly defined educational goal. If you are undecided, MAP will be limited to selecting possible options to determine what coursework would be required.

Access MAP via MYSITE.



Student Resource Center
Students can register, study, and/or do research in our Student Resource Center located in the Administration building. Dual boot Intel based iMAC computers allow students to use either the MAC OS X or Microsoft Vista operating system, along with Office 2007, AutoCAD, SolidWorks and the Adobe Design Premium CS4 suite. There is currently no charge for use of the student LaserJet printer.


Virtual Library - In keeping with ATEP's innovative approach to education, our library is entirely online. From our website students can access online Reference Desk books (dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, and other statistical references), Online Databases for Research Journals and Electronic Publications (ProQuest, InfoTrac, NewsBank), and stacks of over 770+ eBooks. Students have access to traditional library services at the main District campuses: Saddleback, and Irvine Valley College. To access their online collection catalogs, use the Search SIRSI Catalog form.
