Registrar's Office - ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF THE TWIN CITIES (ACTC)

Augsburg College, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas have joined together in consortium to provide cooperative programs and services for their respective students, faculty, and administrators.

This program is open to full-time students in the Day program. Weekend College is not part of the ACTC consortium. Students may take ACTC courses to gain new perspectives, get better acquainted with the other schools, or take a specific course or major not offered at Augsburg.

For more information on the program including majors offered at the participating schools, go to the ACTC Website

How to Register for an ACTC course
Students who wish to register for a ACTC course must follow these steps. Only full-time Day students are eligible. Students are limited to taking one course at another institution per term, unless they have filed an official ACTC Major/Minor Declaration. See more information about ACTC majors and minors below.

1. Find the course, time and course description. Search the online course schedules at the other schools for the specific course you would like to take. Print both the schedule and course description of the course you would like to take. You will need these for registration, along with your ACTC registration form.

Please note that courses offered at Augsburg must be taken at Augsburg. Exceptions must be petitioned through the Student Standing Committee. Please plan ahead to allow sufficient time to be reviewed by the Committee which meets every two weeks.

2. Fill out an ACTC Registration form. Complete the ACTC Registration Form for Augsburg Students, attach the course description and schedule you printed out from step 1, and bring it to the Enrollment Center. The Registrar’s Office processes these forms with the cooperation of the other schools. Registration can’t be done online.

Additional Step for University of St. Thomas Business Courses
You need e-mail permission from UST College of Business to register for their courses such as ACCT, BLAW, BUSN, ENTR, FINC, MGMT, and MKTG.
Send a e-mail message to cobundergrad@stthomas.edu with a subject line Attn: Course Prerequisites. In the message, explain what UST course (Dept/Course Number/Section) you wish to take and the necessary prerequisites you already have taken. The UST College of Business will respond to your message. If they approve your request, print the e-mail response and attach it to your registration form.

Special Considerations
Internships and Independent Study courses will require the permission of the Registrar. These options are normally not allowed through ACTC unless required by the major.

3. Make sure you register during the registration period. Students should register during the open ACTC registration period. No professor signature is needed during the open registration period if all prerequisites are met. If a student misses the open registration period, he or she must have the professor’s signature on the registration form, and will not be able to add the course until the first day of class of the other ACTC school. Check the official academic calendar at each institution for registration deadlines and semester start/end dates.

Declaring an ACTC Major or Minor
Students pursuing an ACTC major or minor are allowed to take more than one course at that institution at a time, but must have the ACTC Major/Minor Declaration on file with the Augsburg College Registrar’s Office first.

Students completing a major or minor at an ACTC institution will need to meet with a faculty adviser from that department who will agree to serve as the student’s adviser and complete an academic plan for the major or minor. If the ACTC major is the student’s sole major, Academic Advising will serve as the Augsburg faculty adviser to review Core requirements, credit minimums, and lift registration holds.

Getting There
Taking an ACTC course requires a fair amount of organization and planning. Before you decide to register for an ACTC course, look at the rest of the courses you are planning to register for and figure out your transportation and timing to make sure your schedule is reasonable. Students should allow approximately one hour before and after the course for transportation.

There is an ACTC bus shuttles that students between the campuses. Students are encouraged to use the ACTC shuttle between institutions due to limited parking on each campus. Go to the ACTC Bus Schedule

Remember in Spring Semester the ACTC schools have slightly different calendars and some of them continue approximately 3 weeks longer than Augsburg. You must plan for housing and transportation to cover that gap.
