"Acceleration" means "rate of change in velocity, and the direction of the change".
So acceleration is (change in velocity) divided by (time for the change), plus the direction.
(Any unit of speed) divided by (any unit of time) is a unit of acceleration.
Some possibilities include:
-- feet per second2
-- meters per second2
-- miles per hour per second
-- furlongs per week per fortnight
-- smoots per month per day
.
.
etc.
To complete the acceleration vector, it also needs to include a direction.

What units express acceleration?
(any unit of speed) / (any unit of time)OR(any unit of length or distance) / (any unit of time, squared)is a perfectly appropriate unit of acceleration.If you're dealing with acceleration as a vector, then a direction also needs to go with it.
What is constant acceleration?
constant acceleration is a measure of a continuing increase in velocity per unit of time. another way to express it is: d²x/dt² = c where c is a constant
