Full-time, degree-seeking Day program students at Augsburg University, Hamline University, Macalester College, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas may elect to take one course each semester (fall and spring) at one of the other campuses. No additional fee is required for such an exchange, except for private instruction in music or approved independent studies. Only courses in each institution’s Day program are available through the ACTC exchange.
ACTC registration is subject to availability and registration policies at each institution. Denial of the request by the ACTC institution or class cancellation is outside Augsburg’s control. Students enrolled in ACTC courses are responsible for attending classes even when the ACTC institution’s calendar differs from Augsburg’s calendar.
ACTC Registration
Registration
1. Complete the ACTC Registration Form. Registration cannot be done through Augnet.
Additional Step for University of St. Thomas Business Courses:
- You need e-mail permission from UST College of Business to register for their courses (ACCT, BETH, BLAW, BUSN, DSCI, ENTR, FINC, IBUS, MGMT, MKTG, OPMT, and REAL).
- Send an 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 have already 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.
2. To find available ACTC courses, search the online course schedules available through the links below.
Hamline University Class Schedule | Hamline University

3. Ensure that the meeting schedule and section designation listed on your ACTC registration form match the schedule information on the ACTC institution website.
4. For best availability, be sure to register during the ACTC open registration period, prior to the start of the semester. No instructor signature is required during this period if all prerequisites are met and space is available.
5. Your ACTC registration will appear in AugNet Records & Registration – My Classes.
Special Registration Considerations
- Students may only take one ACTC course per semester unless enrolled in an ACTC major or minor (see section below).
- Full-time status (including the intended ACTC course) is required to take ACTC courses.
- Internship and independent study courses will require the permission of the Registrar. These options are normally not allowed through ACTC unless required by the major.
- St Catherine University – only College for Women courses are eligible for ACTC registration.
- Air Force ROTC at University of St. Thomas is not available for ACTC registration. Instead, please visit the non-degree registration website.

ACTC Majors and Minors (discontinued November 2026)
As of November 2026, the five ACTC institutions have discontinued support for cross-campus major declarations. Augsburg cannot accept new declarations for ACTC majors or minors.
ACTC Transportation
Taking an ACTC course requires 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. If you are planning an in person ACTC course, remember to allow for travel time.
Public Transportation
Students taking courses at Hamline, Macalester, St. Catherine, or St. Thomas are encouraged to use Metro Transit, and can purchase the subsidized college pass at the bookstore. For transit options, review the transit map. More information can also be found at Transportation at Augsburg.
Personal Vehicle
Any Augsburg student with a current Augsburg parking pass will be issued a “Cross Registered Student Parking Permit” to park on the other campuses for free. Pick up this permit at the Department of Public Safety, located in the Urness/Mortensen lobby, which is open 24/7. Bring a photo ID while requesting this permit.
