A Greeting from the President
A college catalog is a wonderful text, full of detail and data that offer all of us a map to our lives together as a college
community. This is a map grounded in Augsburg’s mission: “To educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful
stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.”
What has prompted you to study this map of Augsburg College? If you’re already enrolled at Augsburg, I trust you will
continue to find here the awe and wonder of an educational experience that is meaningful and challenging. I hope you
will be reminded of the relationships and commitments you have formed at Augsburg—they will last a lifetime. I also
hope that you find in this map signposts of the progress you have made in your vocational journey and that you will
continue to believe that you have rightly chosen Augsburg as the community in which you will spend time for the next
several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe
you will find it not only tells you about the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of
service, particularly about those whom we serve in a modern, vibrant city. Augsburg is located in the heart of the Twin
Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and it is in the city that our College both serves and thrives. As you study here, you
will find a setting that not only provides remarkable learning opportunities, but one in which you will be able to share
your own talents and skills. Augsburg’s challenging academic environment is enhanced by both education and service
experiences that transform theory into action and unite the liberal arts with the practical in preparing students as
faithful citizens in a global society.
The experience you are undertaking at Augsburg—or thinking of undertaking—will occur on a small campus in the core
of a great city; it will be led by faculty preoccupied with your welfare and the emergence and refinement of your
vocational plans.
As you join Augsburg College, or consider doing so, please know that those of us who await you here find the College an
exciting place, full of diversity and yet possessed of a community dedicated to higher learning and good living. Here you
can find your way in the world.
May this map be your faithful guide!
Sincerely yours,
Paul C. Pribbenow, Ph.D.
President

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new
experiences, and of new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the
fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not
only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, creatively solve problems, and
communicate effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg undergraduate education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to
become informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders; and thus achieve the
educational goals of our mission. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own unique gifts and
interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society; their vocation
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime locations in the heart of thriving metropolitan areas, many courses are able to offer rich and
varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer
community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities and Rochester are extended
campuses for Augsburg students.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as
testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity
in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies,
guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
Campus Location
Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is
bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University
of Minnesota Medical Center.
Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s
leading companies, as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is
blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport.
History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, WI, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—
Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian
3
Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological
study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to
church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years.
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early
expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was
still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers.
Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College
had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church
merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city
of Minneapolis. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity
for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education,
spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the
city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two
graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events,
increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened
its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the
theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Augsburg’s Rochester campus
was added in 2002, further expanding Augsburg’s presence in key cities in the state of Minnesota.
4
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all
ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world.
5
Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church.
Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative,
and successful citizens.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg
students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s
degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to
www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg
has a branch campus in Rochester, MN.
Centers of Commitment
The four Centers of Commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg College both
internally and externally: each Center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the
College's Strategic intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose" as well as to ensure the College is "at the
table" with community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the College's distinctive identity and
deepen the educational experiences of our students. Their themes are reflected in Augsburg's mission: informed
citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
Minneapolis-based Day Program
Augsburg’s Minneapolis-based Day program offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either on
campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). The Day Program provides an educational
opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree through courses that meet during the day or in the
evening. Students in the Day Program pay comprehensive tuition that allows them to register for between 12-19
semester credits per term. ACTC is a five-college consortium that allows Day Program students to take courses on other
campuses without additional charge while a full-time student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg
College, St. Catherine University, Hamline University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas. (See
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC) section).
Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s Adult Undergraduate Program provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s
degree with a flexible schedule and with a learning environment that acknowledges the real life experience adult
students bring to the classroom. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement,
prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional
studies.
The Weekend and Evening College (WEC) program began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. The
program eventually grew to approximately 1,000 students in 18 majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, one
of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges.
In Fall 2014, the WEC program began a three year transition into the Adult Undergraduate Program (AU). Current
students may continue in the WEC program until spring semester 2017. New students began joining the AU program in
Fall 2014.
6
Program Transition Timeline
WEC classes will continue to be offered on the evenings and weekends through spring semester 2017. After that term,
the program will sunset and all courses will be offered in the AU program. During the transition, WEC students will be
able to register for courses in the WEC, AU, or Day programs, depending on their schedule needs. WEC courses will
continue to be offered in the hybrid learning model, combining traditional, face-to-face class time, with online and out
of class coursework.
Adult Undergraduate Schedule
The AU schedule is designed to meet the needs of adult students. Courses in individual majors will meet on the same
night of the week, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule for the duration of the major. The alternating weeks of the
semester are labeled “Maroon” and “Silver.” Students select courses from both the maroon and silver schedules,
creating an alternating schedule of classes.
Face-to-face meetings occur on alternating weeks for three-and-a-half hours on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or
Thursday, depending on the program. Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. AU
students may attend part-time or full-time each semester.
Minneapolis - Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program offers the flexibility you need, and is delivered in a hybrid-learning format,
combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. The program
offers more than 10 majors designed to help you finish your bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently, in as little as two
years.
Augsburg also offers courses from several Day Program majors during the evening in a traditional classroom setting.
These majors include American Indian Studies, computer science, and English/creative writing. Please note that not all of
the required courses for the Day Program majors are offered in the evening. For a complete list of degree completion
programs offered in the AU Program, visit www.augsburg.edu/pro/majors.
Rochester - Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s branch site in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its
expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered.
The Rochester site classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the heart
of the city, which is home to more than 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and superior
technological resources.
In Rochester, Minnesota, students complete the same degree requirements as students in the Minneapolis
undergraduate program. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on
weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. As with the adult undergraduate program in Minneapolis,
Rochester classes are delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction
with the convenience of online learning. There are 8 majors offered in Rochester, some of which must be completed by
taking courses at the Minneapolis campus. In addition to the degree programs that can be completed entirely in this
location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of Rochester and Minneapolis-based
evening courses.
Students at the Rochester site are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.
Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office
at 507-288-2886.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students
regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to
students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg
College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will
respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request.
11
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize

agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional
responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may
be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the
student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider
very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform

contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that
such information be withheld. The Registrar’s Office must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information.
Right to complain to FERPA Office
You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, US Department of Education, 400

second degree unless it is a different degree from the first awarded.
Students who have completed a four-year degree at an accredited college or university may complete a second degree
at Augsburg College. A second degree will not be awarded unless it is a different degree from the first awarded. Second
degree requirements include a minimum of 32 semester credits taken at Augsburg, completion of a major, and
completion of any liberal arts requirements not covered by a previous degree. Depending on the student’s previous
degree, completion of a second major (non-degree) may also be an option.
International Students
International students are a vital part of the Augsburg community. (See International Student and Scholar Services, in
the Student Life section.) International students should contact International Student and Scholar Services for an
international student application and financial requirements. All applicants must provide proof of financial solvency.

Financing
The Board of Regents approves the costs for the academic year. The board reviews costs annually and makes changes as
required. Augsburg reserves the right to adjust charges should economic conditions necessitate.
Full-Time vs. Half-Time
Students will need to be enrolled in 6 credits to be considered half-time and 12-19 credits to be considered full-time.
This is an important distinction for charges and for accessing financial aid.

Payments
Semester Charges
Prior to the start of each semester, a statement of estimated charges showing charges and financial aid credits
designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online
through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/header-make-paymentaccount-activity/payments. Augsburg may charge late fees
and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure.
Payment Options
Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts.
Payment Policy
Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each
academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a
student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or
employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the
Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy.
Augsburg accepts the following forms of payment:
Cash
Students and guest payers may make cash payments in-person at the Enrollment Center. Cash should never be
mailed. Students will receive a receipt of their cash payment.
Check
Students and guest payers may pay their term fees via check either in-person at the Enrollment Center, through mail, or
online using e-check/ACH. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the bank for Non-Sufficient
Funds. A receipt will automatically be sent electronically for any online payments. Students who pay in-person or
through mail may request a receipt of the check payment.
Credit Card/Debit Card
Students and guest payers may make student account payments online with a Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American
Express credit card. As of June 10th, 2016, Augsburg will no longer accept credit card or debit card payments in-person,
over the phone, or through the mail. Credit cards will only be accepted online via Cashnet, a vendor contracted by
Augsburg.
Because Cashnet charges Augsburg for their services, a credit card service fee of 2.75 percent will be associated with any
credit card payment made to the college. This is to offset the approximately $250,000 in costs that Augsburg accrues
annually for providing credit card payment options to our students. Augsburg will not receive any part of the service fee
and will not be profiting from it.
18
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must reapply each year. In addition to reapplying for aid,
students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in
the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work
opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid
programs.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is
eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent
family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted).
Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission.
First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships. Transfer students can find
information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships.
Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities.
These grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell
Grant, Federal TEACH grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial
Services if you need any additional information about any of these programs.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and
grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or
business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid
available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid
through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, and Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children,
and other sources.
Loan Assistance
Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans.
Federal Perkins Student Loan
o A federally-funded program administered through Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial
eligibility. No interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are
enrolled at least half-time in school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the
minimum of $40 a month) begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years.
The loan offers a teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study
is $16,000.
Federal Stafford Student Loan
o Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the
interest while the student is in school and during the grace period.
o For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower
is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer
payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS)
19
o
PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet college costs of their dependent children. Parents may borrow
up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60 days of final
disbursement.
Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/loans.
Student Employment
Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work
provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a
maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on
the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program
o Under these programs, the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College
to provide part-time work opportunities.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students receiving financial aid are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree. The
purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant to
curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the
following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid.
Augsburg’s Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy follows the Satisfactory Academic Policy.
Student Account Financial Disclosure
Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each
academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during their time as a
student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or
employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the
Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records
and Registration.
Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the student’s obligations in special cases, such as when a student
has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are
responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or
attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure.
Results of Balances Not Paid in Full
Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late
payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in
full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year
(.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000
owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the
bank for Non-Sufficient Funds.
Past Due Accounts
If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg
reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it.
20
Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold
transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection
agency, or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial
information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third
parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a
cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not
limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing
system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone
number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and
messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg College, or
its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to
the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms
of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full.
Tuition Refund
Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last
day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date,
students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is
effective whether or not a student has attended classes.
Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date
labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar.
Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for
all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations
are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
Medical Refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a
medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the
Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances.
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be
reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term, including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term
will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300.
21
Financial Aid Policy
Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number
of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic
Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with
faculty signature-Full Semester class.” Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date.
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes
throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a
“W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes.
Financial Aid - Return of Aid
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes,
or in the event of hybrid/online courses, by being an active participant in the course.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Students
are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are
eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a
Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned.
Institutional Aid Adjustments
Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students
withdraw from their courses, they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If
a student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid.
Credit Refund
Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a
term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial
Aid needs to be finalized and applied to a student’s account before the credit refund can be issued. (You can verify your
financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid. You can check your transaction history online to verify that
all of your financial aid has been applied to your account and nothing is left pending.)
Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds.
Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates; less than 3.0 credits for
graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration
changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students
who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund
will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed.
Bookstore
Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $700 to their student account.
Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year.
Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut-off dates. Plan ahead for courses that start
midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date.
Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds were issued.
If your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your
statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid
funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you
purchase books if you need to discuss payment options.
22
Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times.
Third Party
If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your
purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request.
Additional Funds
If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $700 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the
additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following
information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing.
Subject: Request for additional funds
Full Name:
Student ID number:
Additional request:
Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as
possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation.
Consumer Information
Loss of Financial Aid Eligibility Due To a Drug Offense
A student convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred while
the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a
controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.]
A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from
a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.
A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and
receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows:
For the possession of illegal drugs
First offense: one year from the date of conviction
Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction
Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction
For the sale of illegal drugs
First offense: two years from the date of conviction
Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction
A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate,
clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the
ways in which the student may regain that eligibility.
Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction
A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the
school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the
program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two
unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:
The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government
program.
23
The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed
insurance company.
The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.
Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or
regulations.
24
Residence Life
Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan
area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher
grade point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in
their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted
with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome
students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or
issues.
Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry
facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television,
computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center
and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students out of the weather on the way to class.
To secure housing on campus, students need to submit the following items:
Housing deposit

the next academic year.

Einsteins or Nabo to supplement the Commons.
Einstein Bros. Bagels—On the main level of Christensen Center, Einstein Bros. Bagels sells coffee, smoothies, hot and
cold sandwiches, wraps, soups, salads, and snacks.
Nabo—This eatery is located in the Oren Gateway Center. Pronounced “náh-bu,” with the accent on the first syllable,

26
Student Activities and Organizations
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important
part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the
surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at
Augsburg will add dimension to their education.
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in lacrosse,
volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf.

athletic field, fitness center with workout machines, a weight room, a racquetball court, and an air-supported dome over
the athletic field for winter fitness, rentals, and spring sport practices.
Intramurals
Every student is urged to participate in activities for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Check schedules on the Athletics
website for times when there is open use of the athletic field/dome, gymnasium, and ice arena.
Campus Activities and Orientation
Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and
community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg
community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg
College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education.
CAO is made up of four program areas:
Campus Activities
CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with
the Augsburg and surrounding community.
Student and Group Leadership Development
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg College by empowering
incoming students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skill-building training
program.
Student Group Development-CAO provides student groups with workshops focusing on social justice, privilege, antioppression, and other pertinent areas of development.
Orientation Programs
SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students designed to help with
the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources
and services; and get a taste of life on campus.
27
Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of first-year students that runs
concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow
parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their
students on campus.
Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to
Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover
why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to
complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in
starting at Augsburg College.
Student Organizations
CAO manages student organizations on campus and provides them access to many benefits, including but not limited to:
organization emails, websites, Auggie's Nest lockers, Auggie Room supplies, skill-building workshops and conferences,
advising, funding and grants, and much more.
Campus Ministry
At Augsburg College, we are “guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church.” Because of this identity, we seek
to develop an environment where people are encouraged to use and discover gifts and a sense of call and vocation. As a
college of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical
hospitality, and shaping community. The college pastors, Chaplain to Student Athletes, Muslim Student Advisor, and
campus ministry staff have offices in Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are
available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or information.
Our concern for spiritual care is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their
own faith. Daily worship, Wednesday Night Holy Communion, Bible studies, community outreach, retreats, peace and
justice events, concerts and gatherings, Friday prayer, and interfaith initiatives are examples of the wide varieties of
activities on campus.
Community Engagement
The Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, rooted in Augsburg’s mission to educate students to be informed
citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders, aims to:
Create a culture of civic agency and engagement among students, faculty, staff, and our broader community so that
graduates are architects of change and pioneers in work of public significance.
Foster connections with local community based organizations and position Augsburg as an anchor institution in the
Twin Cities.
Revitalize the democratic and public purposes of higher education in a time when strengthening colleges’ visible
contributions to the common good, not simply to private benefit.
Bonner Leaders Program
In Fall of 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner program,
students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their time at
Augsburg. Those selected to be Bonner Leaders are students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and
experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community
programs, students work an average of 220 hours each academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an
employment education computer lab, coordinating a low-income housing program, community health outreach,
tutoring in afterschool programs, and more. Beyond their work-study placements, students participate in civic
engagement efforts on campus.
28
Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders Program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and
leadership development workshops. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model that builds on the
College’s culture of community and civic engagement.
Campus Kitchen
The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to
nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four
programs focus on this engagement:
Food to Share
o Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to
neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg
students in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard.
Food to Grow
o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100
garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts
classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food.
Food to Buy
o Find fresh produce grown by local farmers at the weekly farmer’s markets Tuesdays through the summer:
11-1 pm at Foss Chapel on campus, and 2-5 pm at the Brian Coyle Center down the street. The market
doubles any purchase made with food stamps. Augsburg is also the host of an organic CSA farm that people
can become members of and get a large box of produce each week.
Food to Know
o Understanding our food system and community health through programs that educate on issues of hunger
and poverty, and cooking and gardening classes in the community and weekly on campus.
Common Table
The Common Table, located at 2001 Riverside in the Trinity Congregation Building, is devoted to building community
capacity to make change by connecting and equipping leaders.
Connecting campus community with neighborhood community.
Connecting students to local communities, professionals, and movements.
Connecting community members across boundaries at an intersection.
Equipping young people with the mentorship and connections to pursue their goals.
Equipping community members with the tools and experience of public work and organizing.
Equipping leaders with an equity analysis for equitable leadership.
We continue to welcome new ideas for utilizing this multi-purpose space to deepen the relationships between Augsburg
College, Trinity Lutheran, the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, and the Twin Cities.
Jane Addams School for Democracy
The Jane Addams School for Democracy brings immigrant families, college students and other community members
together to do public work and learning. It is a community-based initiative inspired by the vision of democracy,
productive citizenship, and popular education held by settlement house pioneers like Jane Addams, who created Hull
House in Chicago in 1889.
Participants in the school include long-time community residents, Hmong, Latino, and East African refugee and
immigrant adults and children, as well as students, faculty, and staff from nine Twin Cities colleges and universities. The
non-bureaucratic and non-hierarchical structure of Jane Addams School breaks down barriers so that people can work
together across language, culture, gender and age differences to address issues that impact their daily lives.
29
Public Achievement
The Public Achievement organizing model recognizes that people of every age have skills, talents and ideas, and that by
learning to work strategically with others they can solve problems and build sustainable democratic societies. In a school
setting, young people form teams to take action on a public problem that is important to them (for example, driving out
gang activity or improving classroom space). The team works with a coach—typically a teacher or college student—to
develop an action plan. Through practice and reflection, the team members develop public skills and confidence.
Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to
needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of
community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and
educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the
city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and
related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between
students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of
community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring
programs, and literacy centers.
Fine Arts
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra may perform on regional, national, and international tours. Many
other ensembles are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students
stage several plays on campus each year under the direction of the Theater Program and have the opportunity to attend
a series of on-campus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
Student Center
Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally
considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse
populations of residential, commuter, Adult Undergraduate, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of
curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the
Admissions Office, Campus Activities and Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Multicultural Student
Services, LGBTQIA Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the
Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.
The Auggie’s Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student organization office area and
houses the Augsburg Day Student Government, the Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG (campus
radio) office. Lockers are also available in this area for student organization use.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Adult Undergraduate Student Advisory Council organizations support
and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official student
governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg
College.

Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work
Career & Internship Services
The Career and Internship Services office is an integral component of the Clair and Gladys Strommen Center for
Meaningful Work. Our staff is committed to helping students develop lifelong career management skills that honor each
student’s unique gifts and aspirations, aligned with active citizenship in the world. The Career and Internship Services
office plays an essential role in students’ overall education and includes a comprehensive resource center that
emphasizes the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration
of vocation throughout their college years.
We help students and alumni:
Assess their values, interests, personality, strengths, and skills
Explore meaningful work options and majors that align with these elements
Link academic majors with career paths
Consider the role that vocation plays in their lives
Clarify their personal definition of meaningful work
Build experience through volunteer and internship learning opportunities
Prepare for the job search and/or graduate school
Build lifelong career management skills to successfully navigate the changing job market
Make a difference in our communities by contributing their unique gifts to the world
Augsburg offers several opportunities for students to gain on-the-job and internship experience. Our faculty and staff
have developed partnerships with community organizations and employers that provide learning opportunities to
students, many of which fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement for graduation.
Internships
Internships for Academic Credit
o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student
focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic
internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. A learning
agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic
objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students complete internships in
nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and
churches.
o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Students must be
registered for their internship during the term in which they are completing the majority of their experience.
Credit will not be awarded for past experiences. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A
two credit internship involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total
hours for the semester. Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12
hours per week or 160 total hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may
count toward the total credits required for the degree. Upper division internships completed off-campus for
credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.
Non-credit internships
o Internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit internship
(AUG EX3) to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. The goal is for students to apply
theory to practice in a real world setting and reflect on the experience. Internship opportunities are typically
part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during the summer, but may have flexible start dates
and schedules. Students choosing to complete this option will register the internship during the term in
which they will be completing the experience, set learning goals, complete a minimum of 80 hours, and
reflect on their experience. The Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services
supervises non-credit internships and evaluates the reflection process.
32
Work Connections (Available to WEC and AU students only)
o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to WEC/AU students who are currently working full or
part-time. The Work Connections option allows WEC/AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive
work history to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship.
WEC/AU students choosing to complete this option will register for the Work Connections course (AUG EX4)
during the term in which they intend to complete their reflection work. This option requires students to
write learning outcome goals that integrate their on-the-job experience with classroom learning and
complete reflection assignments describing an academic and work connection. Staff of Career and
Internship Services supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process.
Gage Center for Student Success
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
The professional staff advisors in the Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising work directly with students in
identifying academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements of the college. In addition, we support the work
for faculty advisors. Our office assists new Day and Adult Undergraduate (AU) students with initial course selection and
registration, and provides orientation to the academic policies, procedures, and resources at the College. In addition,
Academic Advising administers assessment tests, interprets graduation requirements, provides degree planning
resources, and answers academic progress questions.
All incoming students are assigned a faculty and staff advisor. Staff advisors work closely with students to ensure their
understanding of available resources and support. As students become more familiar with the College, they spend more
time meeting with their faculty advisor and developing the faculty-student mentoring relationship.
Once a major is declared, each student will select a faculty advisor from their chosen discipline by completing the
Change of Major/New Advisor Form. While all students are required to meet with their faculty advisor(s) each term
prior to registration, students are encouraged to meet with their advisor(s) as often as necessary to support their
academic progress. Students must declare their major(s) by the end of their sophomore year. Majors and minors are
declared online in Augnet Records and Registration. Students confirm their majors and minors on an annual basis until
the Intent to Graduate form is submitted.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)
The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become self-directed learners.
Comprehensive academic support (e.g., training in time management, note-taking, reading, testing,
motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual
and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the overall
transition to college. Coaches also refer students to campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:
Academic Skills Coaching
o All students in need of academic support services may meet with a professional member of our staff
(academic skills coach) to identify issues, find short-term solutions, problem-solve, and learn about
additional resources on and off campus.
Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services
o ASO coordinates free tutoring (individual and group drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction
in specific courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to
provide tutoring support. See form here, call us at 612-330-1445, or e-mail your tutor request to
tutor@augsburg.edu. Response time varies based on tutor availability. You will receive an e-mail as soon as
a tutor is available.
CAP Program – Connect, Achieve & Progress
33
o
Each year, a limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP
students do not meet the program requirements in their first semester, they will be continued in the CAP
program, placed on probation, or dismissed. Get more information at the Academic Skills Office website,
http://www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the
catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Warning and Probation Advising
o Students who do not meet the College’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards, will be placed on
Warning, Probation, or Suspension. Students on Warning and Probation are required to meet with an
approved academic advocate and complete all necessary requirements as outlined on the Academic Skills
Office website at www.augsburg.edu/acskills. A registration hold is placed on the student’s record, which
will prevent registration until the necessary Probation requirements have been completed. Students who do
not complete the requirements as needed, may be suspended. For more information see the Satisfactory
Academic Progress (SAP) section of this catalog.
Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, sensory, and physical disabilities, as well as those
with temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the
college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet
supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to
Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their specialist,
and discussions may include:
Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the college faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these
accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility.
Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting
with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides
informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant
only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and
may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs.
The services and technology provided by CLASS are enhanced by generous support of the Gage family and Groves
Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.
TRIO Programs
TRIO programs are funded by the US Department of Education, and hosted with additional funding by Augsburg College.
TRIO Programs seek to help students overcome class, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. They
help students prepare for college, adjust to college life, persist in college, and maintain good academic standing to
graduate with a bachelor’s degree, as well as assist with preparation for graduate school.
34
TRIO/Student Support Services

Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the concept of vocation--the idea that all people are
called by God to use their individual gifts to serve the neighbor. The Christensen Center for Vocation works with
students, faculty, and staff to explore how each person’s contributions can be uniquely valuable and how we might best
live in freedom and responsibility for the sake of the world. The commitment to keep this understanding of vocation
central to Augsburg’s mission is carried out by embedding the exploration of vocation in the curriculum as well as
through the Christensen Scholars program, internship and service opportunities, short term projects and public lectures.
The Christensen Center for Vocation also works to deepen and extend Augsburg’s commitment to interfaith
engagement. That commitment includes an Interfaith Scholars program, creating a campus culture in which people of
diverse religious traditions have welcoming sacred spaces, convening conversations that respect and explore our
differences while also engaging together in acts of service, peacemaking and working for justice. The Christensen Center
for Vocation is committed to working with churches, diverse religious communities, nonprofit organizations and other
schools of higher education as we live out Augsburg’s commitment to educate students to be informed citizens,
thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers and responsible leaders.
StepUP® Program
The StepUP program at Augsburg College strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success,
and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its core
elements: abstinence-based recovery models, mutual support groups, peer-to-peer recovery support, and other proven
pathways to healthy recovery - along with the residential component of the program. Our holistic approach to recovery
focuses around students developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and emotions.
Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug
counseling staff, and participate in team and community-building activities. Students have access to academic skills
specialists and other support services on campus in order to ensure their educational success. Participation in StepUP
offers students leadership opportunities within the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. Our
students give back through leadership and service and thrive in an alcohol- and drug-free environment. In StepUP,
students join together to form a community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of personal growth. Many
of the friendships and bonds that students form while participating in the program last a lifetime.
In order to qualify for the program, students must be committed to a 12-step or other proven, abstinence-based
recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP student
agreement, and live in StepUP housing.

Latin@ Student Services
Mission
The mission of Latin@ Student Services (LSS) is to provide services, programs and resources that empower Latin@
students to persist and graduate, develop and strengthen their self-advocacy and leadership skills, and contribute to the
advancement of the communities they are part of.
Most importantly, LSS seeks to be a safe inclusive place where students feel a sense of belonging and community and
find pride in their self-identified identities, affinities, and culture.
History
Originally established in 1994 to support a majority of international and 2nd generation hispano/latino students, the
office of Hispano/Latino Student Services was re-branded in 2014 under the Latin@ Student Services (LSS) name in
recognition of the changing demographics and needs of current Latin@ students at Augsburg College.
During the 2014-15 academic year, LSS has served 177 self-identified Latin@ students who represent a diversity of
identities, cultural and national backgrounds, individual and community experiences, sexual orientation, religious
affiliation, class, and immigration statuses.
Pan-Asian Student Services
The Pan-Asian Student Services program was created in 1992 to recruit and retain Asian-American students and to
enhance the quality of their total experience while at Augsburg College. The program seeks to create opportunities
where Asian students can be involved in and contribute to all aspects of academic and student life.
The program provides assistance in the admissions and financial aid application process, orientation, registration and
coursework selection, career development, academic and non-academic pursuits, and employment and placement
referrals.
The Augsburg Asian Student Association is affiliated with the program. The association organizes various activities during
the academic year to increase the network of friendship and support for Asians, other students at Augsburg, and the
surrounding community.
Pan-Afrikan Center
The Pan-Afrikan Center (PAC) traces its roots to the 1968 event, “One Day in May” when Augsburg students compelled
faculty and staff to respond to Civil Rights era challenges pro-actively through sit-ins and teach-ins held on and off
campus. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved over the years into the PAC. Today, the PAC is
primarily a resource center, providing culturally-conscious personal, academic, financial, pre-professional and
transitional support for students of African descent. This serves to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation
of our students and facilitates a more meaningful learning experience. The PAC brings the knowledge and experience of

Health and Fitness
Center for Wellness and Counseling (CWC)
CWC provides short-term personal counseling for students to discuss personal life challenges with professional mental
health counselors in a confidential and supportive setting. Through counseling, students can name personal strengths
and challenges, identify self-care and support resources, learn new relationship and coping skills, and increase
awareness of values and choices. Counseling services to students include individual counseling, group counseling,
assessment and referral to campus and mental health resources, educational workshops, and consultations in the case
of concern for another student.
Students bring many concerns to counseling, including stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, relationship concerns,
grief and loss, roommate issues, intimacy and sexuality, alcohol and other drug concerns, family issues, eating concerns,
coming out and other sexual identity concerns, cultural identity, self-esteem, sleep difficulties, and other concerns.
Professional counseling can help increase student academic success both by increasing the opportunity for increased
self-understanding and personal growth, and by directly addressing potential barriers to academic success.
CWC also offers health promotion activities and events to increase student awareness of health issues and support
students in developing new behaviors for a healthier lifestyle, such as mindfulness events, stress management, and an
annual Health Fair. Health promotion also includes an active group of peer health educators, Engaging Peers on Issues

perspectives of the new democracies in southern Africa. Namibia won its independence in 1990 after decades of
apartheid under South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations
struggle to build nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges
posed by today’s world—rapid globalization as well as under- and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a

programs explore civic engagement, community, and social change, and emphasize internships and field study.
Art for Social Change: Intersections of Art, Identity, and Advocacy—Spring
What is art for? Who is allowed to be an artist? Where do you find art, and what happens when it finds you? In the Twin
Cities-based Art for Social Change program, students seek the answers to these questions not in a gallery or a museum,
but on busy corners, vacant storefronts, and empty lots. Students will tap into a growing movement of artists pushing
the boundaries of what creative expression does and whose voice it amplifies. Art for Social Change is taught in
partnership with Pillsbury House + Theatre, an innovative center for creativity and community in South Minneapolis.
Students meet and intern with PH + T staff, resident artists, and a myriad of leaders from the Minneapolis City Council,
neighborhood associations, and local businesses. Students receive mentorship from public artists, and an individual
budget to create three community-engaged art projects.
Community Internships in Latin America (Ecuador)—Fall or Spring
The Community Internships in Latin America program, based in Quito, Ecuador, offers a semester of study experience
with a focus on community participation and social change. A hands-on internship designed to meet the learning goals
of the student is combined with a seminar, an independent project, and a homestay for an intensive immersion into
Latin American daily life and culture. In the second week of class, each student begins an individual placement at a
nonprofit community organization. Previous internship sites have included an organic farm, an arts hub for urban youth,
and a women’s safe house. Students learn firsthand about the social problems in Ecuadorian communities and explore
ways in which communities are addressing these challenges. All lectures, internships, and field projects are in Spanish,
with discussions in Spanish and English. Readings are mostly in Spanish. Papers may be written in English or Spanish.
Environmental Sustainability: Ecology, Policy, and Social Transformation—Fall
The most pressing environmental challenges today are global in scale and require scientific, creative, and systems
thinking approaches to understand their root causes and forge more just and equitable solutions. The four linked
semester courses of Environmental Sustainability apply systems thinking and sustainability theory to real world cases.
Students explore structural inequalities in their own communities, examining patterns of privilege, power, and
oppression. They study the restoration of degraded ecosystems, witness and participate in citizen science, and assess
how policies and partnerships foster ecologically sound transformation. Students also complete a 20 hour per week
internship at one of the many vibrant environmental organizations in the Twin Cities. Past internship placement sites
include the Land Stewardship Project, MN350, and Spark-Y Youth Action Labs. Students will leave prepared for
leadership roles at the intersection of environmental and climate justice, with a profound understanding of the work
being done locally and nationally in those fields.
Inequality in America: Policy, Community, and the Politics of Empowerment—Fall or Spring
In this Twin Cities-based semester program students actively delve into major challenges of our time: poverty,
inequality, and social change. This program asks: What are the root causes of increasing levels of economic, political,
social inequality and insecurity and how does this impact all social classes and groups in the United States? How are
economic, political, and social inequality reproduced? How do we create more opportunity for all Americans and what
are some concrete social change tools for making these changes? To answer these questions, the program examines and
connects the economy, housing systems, education, welfare, government policies, urban sprawl, regional race and class
segregation, and institutional discrimination. In professional internships, students work to explore solutions in
organizations committed to social transformation. Students have direct conversations and work with practitioners in
45
government, the private sector, nonprofits, labor unions, and schools, and other community institutions working to
address poverty and economic, political, and social inequality.
Sustainable Agriculture, Food, and Justice in Italy––Fall
Students live and work at the Castello Sonnino, a historic estate roughly 12 miles outside the major city of Florence.
Since the early 1800s, the Sonnino family has run the estate, and the current generation is deeply committed to cultural
and architectural preservation. Students live in apartments on the Sonnino grounds, overlooking 300+ acres of woods,
olive groves, and working farm land. They study the political and economic context of the farming and food movements
particular to Italy. They gain firsthand experience of sustainable local food systems and the role they play in maintaining
rural culture through an internship placement on the Sonnino farm, in the nearby village of Montespertoli, or in nearby
Florence. Students receive basic Italian instruction, and complete a guided independent study project.
New Zealand Culture and the Environment: A Shared Future—Fall or Spring
Beginning with five weeks of travel across the North Island and ultimately based in Wellington, this program examines
how social and environmental factors shape political and ecological dimensions of identity and culture, and how New
Zealanders from many different backgrounds are envisioning and creating a shared future. During the trip and in
Wellington, students learn about the history of colonization, the truth and reconciliation process that shape
contemporary life, Māori protest and social movements, key strategies used to achieve sustainability, new agricultural
practices, and more. Students intern at a nonprofit organization in Wellington. Internship placements in past years have
ranged from Kennett Brothers Mountain Bikes to Sustainable Coastlines, from the Green Party New Zealand to Zealandia
Urban Eco-Reserve. Links between environment, culture, policy, and community are at the heart of these field study and
internship opportunities.
Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change—Fall or Spring
The Northern Ireland: Democracy and Social Change program examines the historical, political, and religious roots of
conflict in Northern Ireland, the prospects for peace, and the progress being made. Through a seven-week internship,
students get hands-on experience with organizations working for social change. Field seminars focus on human rights,
conflict transformation, and education for democracy. The program is based at the International Conflict Research
Institute at Ulster University (Derry/Londonderry), and on facilitated trips, students compare that region of Northern
Ireland to the “borderland” area and to Dublin.
Race in America: Then and Now —Summer
The summer of 2014 saw the beginning of a dramatic shift in public conversation around race in the United States. As
the tragic deaths of Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, and other unarmed men and
women dominated the news, powerful protests forced American to face the twin realities of institutionalized racism and
police brutality. Race in America: Then and Now dives into questions of racial justice in America today, and the
continuing role of race in the United States. Students meet with civil rights activists who were active in the 1960s and
those who are active now, as well as lawyers, politicians, educators, and youth. The program is based in Jackson,
Mississippi, and is offered in collaboration with the Fannie Lou Hamer National Institute on Citizenship and Democracy
at COFO on the campus of Jackson State University, one of America's Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs).
The New Norway: Globalization, National Identity and the Politics of Belonging—Fall
In less than 50 years, Norway has become one of the richest nations in the world and increasingly diverse. Twenty-five
percent of Oslo residents, for example, are not ethnic Norwegian. The program investigates dramatic changes in
Northern Europe by examining the contemporary challenges and opportunities for the Scandinavian welfare states in an
age of globalization and mass migration. Core topics include globalization and multiculturalism, nation-building and
national identity, governance and political party systems, European integration, racial thinking, histories of racialization,
the rise of the populist/far-right, international aid politics, and gender. Questions framing the program include: How
might Norway and the other Scandinavian welfare states adapt to the challenges of multiculturalism, European
integration and globalization? What factors have made possible the rise of populist / far-right parties in Scandinavia and
what has been their impact on politics and society more generally? How have film, literature and social movements
46
challenged conventional understandings of what it means to be Norwegian/Scandinavian? Students study Norwegian
language or do an independent research project, and intern with a leading NGO.
Agriculture and Justice: Building a Sustainable Food System––Spring
Two linked semester courses use hands-on, field based methods to unpack sustainable agriculture and justice, exploring
the food system, land ownership, labor practices, and policies. Students gain hands-on growing skills and travel to food
shelves, grocery stores, community centers, as wells as conventional and small-scale farms. Each student completes a
short-term stay on a sustainable farm, as well as a field project in a hunger relief organization or urban community farm.
A 4- to 8- credit food systems internship is available concurrently with the two courses, or in the summer following the
program. In past semesters students have interned with the Land Stewardship Project, Frogtown Green, Mill City
Farmers Market, and others,
Making Media, Making Change: Digital Technologies, Storytelling, and Action––Fall and Spring
This Twin Cities-based semester of two linked courses is taught in collaboration with St. Paul Neighborhood Network
(SPNN), a bustling studio and media access center that puts cameras into the hands of historically underrepresented
creators. Students of all experience levels will leave the class with three short films to their credit, including a final work
created in collaboration with a local nonprofit. In addition to hands-on training, students meet the leaders of the local
media justice landscape. Students see their work as part of a global movement to make media accessible, relevant, and
reflective of the diverse voices demanding to be heard. A 4- to 8- credit media production internship is available with
community partner SPNN simultaneously (for students who have advanced technical skills) or following the program.

Credits, Grades and Residency
Students must take a full load of credits while abroad on semester programs.
Students must take courses for a grade (P/NP not allowed) while abroad.
Grades received on affiliated and most exchange programs are reported as transfer credit on the transcript, and
thus are not figured into the GPA.
A grade of “C” equivalent or higher must be received for the credit to transfer to Augsburg.
Courses taken on off-campus programs during the senior year meet the Augsburg residency requirement as students
remain enrolled at Augsburg while abroad.
Faculty-led Short-term Programs
Students must register for all courses required by the short-term program. Credit values may vary, so confirm the
specific program credit load with the Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE) Office. Any courses removed by
the student without CGEE permission prior to the start of the program will be re-added to the student’s schedule. If no
work was completed in these reinstated courses, a grade of zero will be awarded.
Eligibility
Following are Augsburg College’s requirements for Study Abroad and Away in the USA:
Minimum 2.0 GPA at the time of application. Individual programs/courses may require a higher average. Students
with lower averages should consult with CGEE.
Sophomore, junior, or senior standing by the time you off campus. First-year students on a case-by-case basis may
be allowed to study at Augsburg’s Center for Global Education & Experience program-Mexico site during their
second term at Augsburg. Short-term, faculty-led programs will allow participation as a first-year if the student
receives approval from the faculty-leader and if space allows.
Transfer students must complete one semester at Augsburg before they may study off campus.
Students must be in good academic and social standing. Students placed on academic or disciplinary probation after
admittance to the off-campus study program may be withdrawn from the program. The student is responsible for all
non-recoverable program costs incurred.
Any outstanding balances on student accounts must be resolved before students will be allowed to study off
campus.
Note: Students applying to faculty-led programs who meet the above criteria are accepted to these programs on a first
applied, first accepted basis. Space is limited, so early application is recommended.
Costs and Financial Aid
The cost of semester off-campus study is comprised of program fees that generally include tuition, housing,
international health insurance, some meals, excursions, and off campus study fees. Airfare, personal expenses, books,
and other expenses are not included in the price of semester programs. Program costs vary; Augsburg College pays the
program provider on the student’s behalf and then bills the Augsburg student account. This allows students to access
their financial aid for off campus study. Students on semester programs will always pay a minimum of Augsburg tuition
plus living and travel expenses when studying abroad.
Students who receive financial aid, loans, scholarships, and/or grants to study at Augsburg can use that entire package
to cover their off-campus study program costs. Students receiving Augsburg institutionally-funded aid (e.g., President’s,
Regents’, Legacy, Promise, and other Augsburg gift aid/scholarships, and tuition benefit) may use their scholarships to
study off campus multiple times on Augsburg programs (see below in off-campus study program section). However,
institutionally-funded aid may be used only once toward off-campus costs on an affiliate program. Cost estimates for the
time abroad are drawn up to assist the student in planning and the financial aid office in awarding aid to students
studying abroad. Additional scholarships are available for semester and academic year programs.
The cost of short-term faculty-led programs is typically comprised of tuition (for summer programs), meals, airfare,
ground transportation, and interpretation/translation services. These costs are on top of any semester/year tuition
48
charges. Some scholarships are available, but are limited for short-term programs. Students often apply loans to fund
the additional cost of education travel.
Students should attend the required information session and read the advising handbook for any updates to
scholarships and financial aid policies.
Students are required to notify CGEE immediately if they choose not to continue with their off-campus study experience.
At the moment of notification, non-recoverable costs and a cancellation fee will be assessed and charged to the student
account. Depending on the time of notification of withdrawal, students may owe nothing; or they may owe the offcampus study fee, the deposit, or some or all of the program fee. Students are also subject to the cancellation and
refund policies of CGEE and their program provider.
Scholarships
The Center for Global Education & Experience offers a range of scholarships and financial aid to students with
demonstrated financial need and whose participation in a semester or summer academic program contributes to a
community of co-learners that values a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
CGEE Global Education Scholarship. Augsburg students automatically receive a $1000 scholarship on our Semester
programs at our sites in Central America, Mexico and Namibia/Southern Africa. This scholarship is also available to
students who participate on our semester exchange programs in designated countries (China, Finland. Germany,
Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, and Norway)
The Diversity Scholarship is for students who have not traditionally been represented in study abroad, specifically
students of color, students with disabilities, and LGBT students. Awards cover up to $6,000 off the cost of a
semester program abroad.
The Need-Based Scholarship is available for students with demonstrated financial need. Awards cover up to $2,000
of the cost of a semester program abroad.
Augsburg students receive an “Auggie Discount” of $1,000 on their first semester program (the Returnee Scholarship
will apply for the second program).
PJSA Member Discount is available for students whose home school is a member of the Peace and Justice Studies
Association. Automatic award of $500 toward a semester study abroad program in any CGE location. This discount
cannot be applied to the Social Work in a Latin American Context program.
Returnee Scholarship: Automatic discount of 10% off a second semester program for students who combine two
semester programs during their college career. There are no forms to submit for this discount.
Summer Discount: Students who participate in a full semester program in Mexico will receive a 10% discount off a
summer session (before or after the semester program).
Global Affiliate Scholarships are also available. These scholarships generally ranging from $500-$5000 are provided
directly through our affiliate partner programs.
Disabilities
CGEE and the Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) work closely with students with disabilities to
make every effort student needs are met while studying off-campus. Nevertheless, students are responsible for
requesting accommodations within a reasonable time frame prior to departure, ideally as early as program selection.
Students should be prepared for the fact that disability may be culturally defined. Attitudes toward disability and levels
of accessibility can vary greatly from country to country. The Americans with Disabilities Act mandates equal access to
university-sponsored programs and services to students with disabilities. However, providing access by US standards can
present unique challenges in international settings. The expectation on the part of US students and institutions is that
reasonable accommodations will be made. Depending on the country and culture, there may be different ways to define
accessibility and different expectations in terms of accommodations that can or should be made.

Continuing Education Program
The mission of Augsburg College continuing education program is to provide working adults with lifelong learning
opportunities that will enable them to continue to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually in their homes,
workplaces, and communities. The program strives to meet the needs of the community by offering credit and noncredit
programs consistent with the mission of Augsburg College.
Programs are developed through collaborations between academic and administrative departments of the College and
community organizations. These collaborations have included the Departments of Business, Biology, Education, Nursing,
Religion, Social Work, the Center for Leadership Studies, Institutional Advancement, and organizations including
Minneapolis and St. Paul public school districts, Minnesota Department of Education, and the Midwest Regional Office
of the College Board. Augsburg College is a Lifelong Learning Partner with the ELCA.
Honors Program
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their
best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit
and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, participate in an intramural debate league, belong to an
Honors House, and learn through small reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience”
such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses
bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their
specialties.
For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu (612-330-1560) or Phil Adamo, Honors Program
director, at honors@augsburg.edu.
Also see the Honors Program in the departmental pages of this catalog.
Inter-Institutional Programs
Augsburg cooperates with other colleges and institutions in the Twin Cities area on several programs.
Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC)
Through CLIC, the Twin Cities private college’s library consortium, the Augsburg community has direct access to more
than 2.5 million volumes and media resources of the 14 libraries.
Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC)
Full-time Day students at Augsburg College, 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.
Exchange courses are not transfer courses, and thus courses taken through ACTC are considered Augsburg College
courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses for which an Augsburg student
has cross-registered is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not at the host ACTC institution. Students may
elect to participate in the cooperative program to gain new perspectives, to get better acquainted with the other
schools, or to undertake a specific course or major not offered on the home campus.
AU/WEC/ROCH programs are not part of the ACTC consortium, and students in those programs may not register for
ACTC courses or complete ACTC majors under the terms of the ACTC consortium agreements.
50
Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs (HECUA)
Augsburg, in cooperation with 17 other colleges and universities, offers off-campus study semesters in Ecuador, New
Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, and the Twin Cities. (See HECUA programs in the International Programs and Urban
Studies sections of the departmental pages of this catalog.)
McNally Smith College of Music
Augsburg College full-time Day students may elect to take one course each semester at McNally Smith College of Music
(MSCM) providing that they meet all MCSM requirements. This program is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
There is no additional fee for this program. Students should consult with their advisors to confirm if the classes will
count toward graduation requirements. In no instance may a McNally Smith course be used as a substitute for any
Augsburg course specifically listed within a degree program.
Exchange courses are not transfer courses. Courses taken through the Augsburg-McNally Smith exchange are considered
Augsburg College courses and do not impact the residency requirement. The permanent record of courses which a
student has completed through the exchange is kept in the Registrar’s Office at Augsburg College, not McNally Smith.
Air Force ROTC
Augsburg Day students interested in participating in the Air Force ROTC program must apply for admission to the unit at
the University of St. Thomas. Students are eligible to compete for two- and three-year AFROTC scholarships. ROTC
credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more information contact the University of St. Thomas at
www.stthomas.edu/afrotc.
Army ROTC
Augsburg Day students may participate in the Army ROTC program at the University of Minnesota under an agreement
between Augsburg, the University of Minnesota, and the program. ROTC credits serve as electives at Augsburg. For more
information, contact the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities at www.goarmy.com/rotc/schools/university-ofminnesota.
51
Academic Policies and Procedures
Registration
Students must be officially registered for all courses for which they are participating. All registered courses will be
reflected on a student’s AugNet Records and Registration page. Web registration through AugNet is the primary method
of registration, although registration can be processed through the Registrar’s Office with a Registration Form in
instances where online registration is not possible. Students are responsible for verifying the accuracy of their
registrations.
Students are required to meet with their faculty advisor prior to registration for the fall, spring, and summer terms. As
some courses are offered only in alternate years, students should also consult with departmental advisors when
planning their academic program.
Specific registration dates and deadlines for each semester are listed in the Academic Calendar at
www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Students who are missing prerequisites for a course may be eligible for a prerequisite waiver if, after discussion with the
course instructor, the instructor determines that the prerequisite learning objectives have been met. Students who
believe they have already completed the prerequisite in question should contact the Registrar’s Office at 612-330-1036
or registrar@augsburg.edu.
The following registrations cannot be completed online and must be processed with a Registration Form:
THP courses (Theater practicum courses)
100-level MUP courses (Variable-credit music lessons)
Student Teaching (Education Department approval required)
Independent Study and Directed Study (Independent Study form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage)
Internships (Internship Registration form available on the Registrar’s Office webpage)
ACTC courses (Course listings are available online through each ACTC institution and should be checked to verify the
correct meeting times and room assignment.)
Credit Loads
Full-time day students normally register for 16 credits per semester. Students in the AU/WEC/Rochester programs
typically register for 4-8 credits each semester. Students registered for 12 or more credits in a semester are classified as
full-time students. Students registered for at least 6 credits are classified as half-time students.
To register for more than 19 semester credits, students must petition the Student Standing Committee unless the
following apply: Students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.00 or greater may take a total of 20 semester credits
without petitioning; students with a cumulative GPA at Augsburg of 3.50 or greater may take a total of 22 semester
credits without petitioning. All overload registrations must be done through a Registration Form. (Note: For students in
the Day program there is an additional tuition charge for course loads over 19 semester credits. This includes combining
the credit load from both the DAY and AU/WEC programs. Auditing classes over the 19 semester credit limit will also
incur a tuition charge.)
Non-Attendance/Non-Participation Policy
Attendance/participation in class is important for academic success and financial aid. Therefore, students are dropped
for non-attendance/non-participation after the 10th business day of the term if reported by the instructor. Students are
ultimately responsible for dropping classes if they no longer plan to attend/participate. Students who have been
dropped and wish to re-enroll must submit an Academic Petition.
Internship Registration
Registration of internships for credit consists of the following steps:
Students must register the internship for the academic term that coincides with the internship experience.
52
Obtain the Internship Registration Form from the Registrar’s Office webpage and complete the steps to obtain the
required signatures.
o Complete Site Supervisor Agreement form and Position Description: Submit the internship site supervisor
information and approved job/internship position description through an online form on the Strommen
Center website.
o Faculty Signature: Requires finding a faculty member willing to supervise and approve the internship based
on major discipline requirements.
o Department Chair Signature: Requires approval that the proposed internship experience meets the major
discipline requirements.
o Internship Coordinator or Director of Career and Internship Services Signature: Requires attendance at an
Internship Orientation session offered by the Strommen Center OR an individual meeting with the Internship
Coordinator or Director in the Strommen Center to review important college-wide internship information
and ensure all required documents have been submitted.
Once the completed internship registration form is submitted to the Enrollment Center, additional requirements for
internships for credit include:
Complete a Learning Agreement Plan (available electronically on the Strommen Center webpage) and receive
approval of the learning goals from the faculty supervisor responsible for grading the experience. The online form is
sent to the Strommen Center and copies are sent to the faculty supervisor and student.
Academic assignments (journals, reflection papers, etc.) as determined by the faculty supervisor and/or department
guidelines.
Complete final evaluations (sent out electronically at the end of the semester). The student and the site supervisor
will each complete an evaluation of the student’s internship experience. Results will be sent to the faculty
supervisor and student.
A complete step-by-step guide on requirements for internships for credit is available on the Strommen Center for
Meaningful Work webpage.
Independent/Directed Study Registration
To register for an Independent/Directed Study, complete and submit the Independent/Directed Study Registration form
with signatures of the faculty member responsible for the grade and the chair of the appropriate department
Dropping or Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped or withdrawn online through AugNet Records and Registration or with a Registration Form. For
drop and withdrawal deadlines see the Academic Calendar at www.augsburg.edu/registrar.
Crossover Registration
(This policy is approved for the 2016-2017 academic year and is subject to review for the 2017-2018 academic year.)
Undergraduate students are enrolled in a home program (DAY, AU, ROCH, WEC) and may register online for fall and
spring semester courses outside of their home program based on course availability and subject to the restrictions listed
below by program. Students have registration priority in their home program. Students are charged the tuition rate of
their home program for crossover courses.
DAY Program Students
- Are permitted to crossover into WEC courses.
- Juniors and Seniors (based on earned credits) are permitted to crossover into AU courses without special permission.
- Pay the overload fee for any credits over 19 in their combined DAY/WEC/AU load each semester.
AU Program Students
- Are permitted to crossover into DAY and WEC courses.
53
ROCH Program Students
- Are permitted to register for AU and WEC courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait
until Crossover Registration begins.
WEC Program Students
- Are permitted to register for DAY and AU courses as soon as their registration windows open and do not have to wait
until Crossover Registration begins.
Graduate Courses
Students must have completed an undergraduate degree and be admitted to a graduate program before taking
graduate level courses from that program. Exceptions are made for approved courses in the Department of Nursing, the
joint BA Accounting/MAL program, and advanced undergraduate writers approved to take ENL510 in the Master of Fine
Arts program. Undergraduate students enrolled in graduate courses will pay their standard undergraduate
rate for those courses. Any student enrolled in an Augsburg graduate level program wishing to take an undergraduate
course will pay their program's graduate rate of those courses.
Grading and Evaluation
Explanation of Grades
The official delivery of end-of-term grades to students is online via AugNet Records and Registration.
Student achievement in courses is measured by final examinations, shorter tests, written papers, oral reports, and other
types of evaluation.
Most courses are offered with grading options—traditional grading on a 4.0 to 0.0 scale or the Pass/No Credit grading
system.
The following is an explanation of undergraduate grades:
Grade
4.0
3.5
3.0

Represents work at 2.0 or higher (not counted in grade point average)
No credit (not counted in grade point average)
Audit
Withdrawn
Incomplete
In progress, extended beyond term of registration
Pass/No Credit Grades
Students who choose the P/N option are cautioned:
In order to receive a grade of P, a student must meet the basic standards of the course and/or achieve at least a
grade of 2.0.
Some graduate and professional schools do not look favorably on a large number of
P-graded courses, or rank each as a C.
54
Maximum number of semester credits taken P/N that may be applied to graduation is 24 semester credits with a
grade of Pass (P).
P-graded courses do not count toward the requirement that 56 traditionally-graded semester credits be earned at
Augsburg in order to be considered for Latin honors. Transfer students should be especially aware of this
requirement.
To be eligible for graduation with Latin honors, students may elect P/N grading for no more than eight semester
credits.
Certain courses have restrictions and are offered on one grading system only (e.g., lifetime activities are graded only
P/N). In courses where there is a choice, students will be graded on the traditional system unless they indicate they wish
to use the P/N grading option. Any changes in choice of grading option must be made according to deadlines published
in the Academic Calendar each semester.
Incomplete (I) Grades
Incomplete grades (I) are to be given only in the case of extreme emergency (i.e. illness, family emergency, death in the
family, military commitment). If you have any questions regarding the qualifying emergency please contact the
Registrar’s Office for verification.
An incomplete grade (I) may be awarded when the instructor grants permission after determining that a student
emergency may delay completion of coursework. Students who receive an incomplete grade should be capable of
passing the course if they satisfactorily complete outstanding course requirements.
To receive an incomplete grade, a student must submit a completed Application for Incomplete Grade form to the
Registrar's Office by the grading deadline for the semester. This form states the reasons for the request, outlines the
work required to complete the course, and includes the course instructor’s signature. The instructor may stipulate the
terms and conditions that apply to course completion; however, students may not attend the same course (or a portion
of the same course) in a following term with an incomplete grade. The student must complete the outstanding work in
enough time to allow evaluation of the work by the instructor and filing of a grade by the grading deadline of the
following academic semester. If the work is not completed by the specified date of the following academic semester, the
grade for the course becomes 0.0.
Extension (X) Grades
Internships, independent studies, and directed studies may sometimes last longer than one semester. When this is the
case, they must be completed by the grading deadlines within one year from the beginning of the first semester of
registration. A grade of X (extension) is given by the instructor to indicate that the study is extended. It is expected that
students given X extensions will continue to communicate with their instructors and demonstrate that satisfactory
progress is being maintained. A final grade will be issued at the end of the semester in which the work is completed and
evaluated (but not longer than one year). An instructor has the right to not grant an extension where satisfactory
progress is not demonstrated. If the course is not completed, a grade of 0.0 will be assigned.
Withdrawal (W) Grade
A course is given a grade of W (withdrawn) when it is dropped after the deadline for dropping classes without a W grade
and before the last day to withdraw.
Repeated Courses
A course in which a grade of FN, 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, or N has been received may be repeated for credit. Courses in which
higher grades have been earned may not be repeated for credit and a grade, but may be audited. All courses taken each
term and grades earned, including W and N, will be recorded on the academic record. Only the credits and grades
earned for the most recent attempt, for legitimately repeated courses, are counted toward graduation and in the grade
point average. Courses completed at Augsburg College must be repeated at Augsburg to be included in the repeat
policy.
55
Auditing Courses
Students who wish to take courses without credit or grade may do so by registering for Audit (V). Full-time Day students
will be charged an audit fee if their total credit load is over 18 credits. The charge to audit a course is $1,000 for parttime DAY/AU/ROCH/WEC students. The signature of the instructor is required to register an audit. Students who audit a
course should confer with the instructor within two weeks of the beginning of the term to determine expectations,
attendance, and any other requirements. If expectations have been met, the course will be listed on the transcript as
having been audited. If expectations have not been met, the course will be listed with a grade of W. Audited courses do
not count toward graduation and do not fulfill general education requirements.
Grade Point Average
The grade point average (GPA) is based on final grades for all work at Augsburg. It does not include credit and grade
points for work transferred from other colleges. Courses taken on the P/N grading option are not computed in the GPA.
The formula for computing the GPA is:
GPA = Total grade points divided by number of credits attempted with 0.0 to 4.0 grades assigned.
Assessment of Student Learning
The faculty at Augsburg College are actively engaged in research about student learning and the efficacy of the
curriculum. To support such assessment of student learning activities, faculty may collect student work for evaluation
beyond grading. Any information or student work collected will be treated confidentially; the student's identity will not
be public information. Students who do not want their work collected for assessment purposes can opt out by
contacting Dr. Amy Gort, Dean of Arts and Sciences.
Classification
Students are classified when grades are posted at the end of each term. Classification is based on the number of
semester credits completed.
Classification
Freshmen
Sophomores
Juniors
Seniors
Completed Semester Credits
0 – 27.99
28 – 59.99

Academic Status Changes
Change of Program
Students may apply to change their “home program” by completing a Change of Program form. Applications are
reviewed by a committee. If approved, the change will take effect the following term. Changes are limited to once each
academic year. A Change of Program form must be submitted before the term begins.
Withdrawal from College
Students are urged not to abandon courses for which they are registered because this will result in failing grades on
their official academic record. If necessary, students should instead submit a Withdrawal from College form. A
Withdrawal from College form may be obtained on the Registrar’s Office webpage. The deadline to file a Withdrawal
from College is the last Friday prior to finals week. Withdrawal from College and any consequential adjustments in
accounts are effective as of the date the Withdrawal from College form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Students
must be re-admitted to the College when they are ready to resume their studies. The Application for Readmission form
is also available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Students are responsible for keeping the Registrar’s Office informed of their current mailing address while away.
56
Leave of Absence (DAY Program Students)
Students in the Day Program may apply to for a Leave of Absence for one semester. The Leave of Absence allows
continued access to Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Records and Registration. If a student on a Leave of Absence does not
register for the subsequent semester, the student’s file will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an
Application for Readmission form in order to re-enroll. The Leave of Absence program is not available to Day students
who withdraw from all courses while their courses are in progress.
Term Off (AU/WEC/ROCH Program Students)
Students in the AU/WEC/ ROCH Programs may take a term off for up to two semesters and have continued access to
Augsburg e-mail and AugNet Services. If a student is not registered after 10th day of the third semester, the student’s file
will be deactivated and the student will need to submit an Application for Readmission to re-enroll.
Military Called to Active Duty
Augsburg College will allow students to withdraw from courses without penalty if they are called to active duty as
military reservists, National Guard, or for other military service. This shall include a 100 percent refund of tuition and
fees upon verification of call to active duty. Students must submit an Academic/Financial Petition and provide a copy of
their orders to the Registrar’s Office.
If the student is called to duty after the deadline to drop a course, the Registrar’s Office will place a W for the course(s)
along with a notation on the transcript that the student was called to active duty. This is to assist the student with any
financial aid complications that may arise and also indicate that the withdrawal was outside of the student’s control.
Alternatively, the College supports faculty in enabling students who are called to active duty and have substantially
completed a course, to assign a grade based upon the coursework completed, or to work out an incomplete agreement.
Students who are able to complete some of their courses would have their refunds adjusted to reflect this.
Students who are being placed on active duty should contact the Registrar’s and/or the Office of Academic Affairs as
soon as possible so the College can notify all parties and aid in this process.
Student Standing Committee
The Student Standing Committee is a standing committee of the College that reviews requests for exceptions to
academic and financial policy. Representatives from the faculty, Registrar’s Office, Student Financial Services, and
Student Affairs serve on the committee.
Academic / Financial Petitions
Students who wish to request exceptions to academic and financial policies should carefully review and complete the
Academic/Financial Petition. Petitions must be submitted within 6 months of the semester being petitioned. The
Committee typically meets to review petitions and Applications for Readmission every other week during fall and spring
semesters and once each month during the summer semester.
Academic Dismissal Appeals
Students who have been academically dismissed have the right to appeal their dismissal to the Student Standing
Committee.
Applications for Readmission
Students seeking to re-apply to the College after being placed on academic probation or after being academically
dismissed must submit an Application for Readmission.
57
Catalog Applicability
Students must fulfill the general education requirements that were in effect when they matriculated at Augsburg.
Students may elect to satisfy the departmental major requirements of any of the catalogs in effect during their years of
enrollment. However, students who are readmitted after more than six years away from the College must complete the
departmental major requirements of the most current catalog at the time of readmission or any one of the catalogs in
effect during their subsequent years of continuous enrollment at Augsburg.
Second Majors and Degrees
Students with an existing baccalaureate degree from Augsburg or another institution may enroll to complete an
additional major(s) or minor(s). Students will not be awarded a second degree unless it is different from the original
degree awarded (BA, BM, BS). Students cannot earn multiple degrees for the same major, though it is possible to earn
multiple degrees from the same academic department if the majors are distinct. For example, a student cannot earn
both a BA in Computer Science and a BS in Computer Science, but may earn a BS in Computer Science and a BA in
Computational Philosophy.
Evaluation of Transfer Credit
The evaluation of transfer credits is completed by the Registrar’s Office and is based on a student’s official transcript(s).
College credit is granted for liberal arts courses completed at regionally accredited institutions with a grade of 2.0/C or
better. Liberal arts courses are defined as courses similar in nature, content, and level to those offered at Augsburg.
Augsburg does not grant transfer credit for developmental-remedial courses, vocational-technical courses, or continuing
education units (CEUs). Courses with grades of C-, CD, or below do not transfer to Augsburg College. Competency credits
and exam credits issued by another institution may and will be evaluated on an individual basis. The Registrar’s Office
evaluates coursework for credit and for applicability toward Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements. Academic
departments are responsible for evaluating the applicability of coursework toward a student’s major or minor. The
College requires that certain courses and a minimum number of courses be taken at Augsburg. (Refer to the Residence
Requirements section of the catalog.)
Courses and credits that are accepted in transfer are reported on the student’s transcript. Grades and grade points from
other institutions are not transferred to Augsburg and are not included in the student’s cumulative grade point average.
Students should consult with their academic and faculty advisors and the Registrar’s Office before taking courses at
other institutions to ensure compliance with transfer credit policy and residency requirements. Additional resources
about transferring credit are available on the Registrar’s Office website.
MnSCU Transfer Students
Completion of the Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements
and will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 100). Students will be granted credit for
transferable courses graded C or better. To qualify for this transfer program, the MnTC must be completed prior to
enrollment at Augsburg.
Completion of the Associate of Arts degree with the MnTC will satisfy Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements,
will reduce the Search for Meaning requirement to one course (REL 100), and will waive one of two Health and Wellness
requirements. Students will be granted credit for transferable courses graded C– or better. Transfer courses that equate
to Augsburg’s requirements of Effective Writing, entry level math, and modern language must have a grade of C or
better in order for credit to be granted. To qualify for this transfer program, the AA degree and MnTC must be
completed prior to enrollment at Augsburg.
Note: Additional prerequisite coursework beyond the AA degree may be required in some Augsburg majors. Students
are advised to consult an academic advisor in the major department to discuss major requirements. Courses with C–
grades or below will not be accepted as prerequisites or for application to majors.
58
Advanced Transfer Students
Students who enter Augsburg with 52 or more semester credits accepted in transfer are considered Advanced Transfer
Students. The Augsburg Core Curriculum will be adjusted for advanced transfer students as outlined below:
Waiver of Search for Meaning II
Waiver of Augsburg Seminar
Waiver of Engaging Minneapolis
Waiver of one Health and Wellness requirement (depending on transfer evaluation)
All Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements not mentioned above remain unchanged for Advanced Transfer Students.
Waivers for Advanced Transfer are determined at the time of initial entry into Augsburg and will not be granted for
courses completed after initial enrollment.
Transfer Credit for Military Experience
Students are welcome to submit their military transcripts to the Registrar’s Office for transfer credit evaluation. A
military transcript will contain credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) for training and
courses completed in the US Armed Services. Augsburg will review a military transcript to determine if any of the credit
recommendations contained within it meet transfer credit guidelines.
Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy records maintained by JST: jst.doded.mil
Air Force records: Air University and Community College of the Air Force are regionally accredited institutions. Students
should submit official transcripts from these schools during the admission process.
Graduation Requirements
The responsibility for ensuring that all degree requirements are satisfied rests with the student. Each student is required
to file an Intent to Graduate at the end of his or her junior year to confirm remaining graduation requirements.
Application forms are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Faculty advisors, the Academic Advising staff,
department chairs, and the Registrar’s Office staff are available for counsel and assistance in program planning.
Students who enter an academic program with a bachelor’s or higher degree should contact the Registrar’s Office about
specific requirements for a second bachelor’s degree or for the equivalent of a major.
All degree and course requirements must be completed and verified in the Registrar’s Office in order for the degree to
be conferred. There may be no incompletes or open courses on the academic record.
Assessment of Previous Learning (APL) Program
Augsburg College recognizes that learning can and does take place in many life situations. Some of this learning may be
appropriate for credit recognition within the disciplines that comprise the academic program of a liberal arts college.
The Assessment of Previous Learning program (APL) at Augsburg provides a means by which a student’s previous
learning, other than that which is transferred from another accredited institution, may be presented for examination for
possible credit toward the completion of a bachelor’s degree.
Not all learning from life experience, however, is appropriate for credit recognition at a liberal arts college. Such learning
must meet two essential criteria: (1) it is relevant to coursework in a field of study within the Augsburg liberal arts
curriculum, and (2) it can be objectively demonstrated either by comprehensive examination or committee evaluation.
The APL program at Augsburg provides several means by which students may have previous learning assessed for credit
recognition. The following is a brief description of each of these means of assessment:
International Baccalaureate Program (IB)
Courses earned from the International Baccalaureate program will be considered by the College for appropriate credit.
IB exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the
Registrar’s Office webpage.
59
Advanced Placement Program (AP)
Augsburg allows students to earn credit for scores of 3, 4, or 5 on selected Advanced Placement tests. For some exams, a
minimum score of 4 is required. AP exams may fulfill general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting
guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
This is a series of standardized tests developed by the College Board that are offered to students for a small fee at
regional testing centers. Students who score at or above the American Council on Education’s recommended score on
an approved examination may receive academic credit for that subject at Augsburg College. CLEP exams may fulfill
general education and/or major requirements. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office
webpage.
DSST Exams
DSST Exams are a series of standardized tests in college subjects that are comparable to the final examinations in
undergraduate courses. Exams are offered at testing centers worldwide for a small fee. Students who score at or above
the American Council on Education’s recommended score on an approved examination may receive academic credit for
that subject at Augsburg College. Credit granting guidelines are available on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
These tests assess written and/or spoken proficiency in world languages. For a small fee, students can assess their level
of knowledge in world languages to earn college credit and/or waive the modern language requirement. More
information about eligibility and qualifying languages is available from Academic Advising.
Departmental Comprehensive Exams
These are available for students to use in obtaining credit for previous learning if the following conditions are met:
There is a departmental exam available for the subject area in question.
There is a faculty member designated by the department to administer the exam.
The Registrar approves the student’s request to take the exam.
Credit for departmental exams is not computed in the GPA, and there is a charge per exam of $100 per semester
credit.
Portfolio Assessment Program
This is a credit assessment alternative in which a faculty team completes a credit evaluation of a learning portfolio
submitted by the student. The faculty team is composed of two faculty members from fields of study directly related to
the student’s previous learning. Students who wish to prepare a portfolio of previous learning for credit assessment
should consult the Registrar’s Office. In completing the evaluation of a student’s previous learning, the faculty team
applies the following criteria:
There is documentable evidence of a cognitive component in the previous learning experience that involved
prescribed or systematic study of content material found within liberal arts coursework.
The learning has been objectively verified by individuals in addition to the presenting student.
The learning lends itself to both qualitative and quantitative measurement.
The learning relates well to the student’s educational goals.
The learning and skills involved are current and could be used at the present time.
Students may apply for the credit assessment process after completing at least one term of academic work at Augsburg
College with a cumulative Augsburg GPA of at least 2.50. It is strongly recommended that the process not be used when
four or fewer courses remain for graduation. There is a non-refundable application deposit of $200 to initiate the credit
assessment process for each course presented in a portfolio. An additional $200 is charged upon approval of each
course. Credit granted by portfolio review is not computed in the GPA.
Transcript credit will be recorded with the equivalent Augsburg course numbers as determined by faculty reviewers.
60
Maximum Credit Accepted for Previous Learning
While Augsburg College recognizes the validity of learning that takes place outside the traditional classroom, this
learning must be placed in the context of formal study in campus-based liberal arts courses. Therefore, Augsburg allows
a maximum of 32 credits (one-fourth of a bachelor’s degree) to be obtained through previous experiential learning. In
compiling the 32 credits for previous experiential learning, the student may use any combination of the assessment
processes available in the APL Program: AP, CLEP, IB, DSST, ACTFL, departmental comprehensive exams, and credit
granted through portfolio assessment.
Graduation
Requirements
Degree requirements include completion of a minimum number of credits, a major, the Augsburg Core Curriculum, a
minimum GPA in major(s)/minor(s) and in total coursework, and residence.
1. Completion of 128 semester credits—No more than these maximums may be applied toward the 128 total semester
credits required:
o Eight semester credits by independent/directed study
o 16 semester credits of internship
o 24 semester credits with a grade of Pass (P)
o To graduate with Latin honors, students may take no more than eight elective P/N graded semester credits.
o Each department sets its own limitations on the number of P/N graded courses that may be applied toward the
major and minor programs, but normally students may apply no more than eight semester credits with P grades
toward a major and no more than four semester credits with a P grade toward a minor.
2. Completion of a Major—Requirements for each major are listed under the departmental headings.
3. Completion of the Augsburg Core Curriculum—Requirements for the Augsburg Core Curriculum are listed under the
Augsburg Curriculum section.
4. Grade Point Average —Students must earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.00. Additionally, all majors
and minors require at least a 2.00 grade point average in coursework for the major or minor. Some majors,
licensure, and certificate programs require a higher grade point average or a minimum grade in each course. See the
departmental section for details about the grade and grade point average for individual majors and minors.
5. Residence —A minimum of 32 semester credits must be completed through Augsburg College. Additionally, no
fewer than 24 of the last 32 semester credits must be completed at Augsburg or within an approved exchange
program (ACTC, McNally Smith, or Augsburg Abroad). Transfer courses and Assessment of Previous Learning (APL)
credits are counted against the residency requirement. Therefore, students are encouraged to complete transfer
work and APL credits prior to reaching senior standing. Some departments have a minimum number of credits that
are required in residence within the major or minor. Consult the departmental pages of this catalog for further
information.
Latin Honors
Augsburg recognizes those students who have demonstrated exemplary academic achievement by conferring Latin
honors upon completion of a bachelor’s degree.
Students may also receive honors recognition for departmental honors and for participation in the Honors Program. (See
individual department and program descriptions for details.)
Qualification for Latin honors is determined as follows:
Summa Cum Laude
Magna Cum Laude
Cum Laude
3.90-4.00 GPA (plus successful completion of the Summa Oral Examination)
3.80-3.89 GPA
3.60-3.79 GPA
To be eligible, a student must complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg and have no more
than eight elective pass/no credit graded credits at Augsburg (classes offered only with P/N grading will not be counted).
61
For additional information, including the guidelines for the summa cum laude oral examination visit the Registrar’s
Office webpage.
Commencement
Though the terms are often confused, the words “graduation” and “commencement” carry different meanings.
Graduation refers to the completion of all degree requirements. Students graduate when all requirements for the
degree have been fulfilled, meaning that one can graduate at any point during the academic year provided that all
requirements are complete.
Commencement is a ceremony. It is an opportunity for students, family, friends, and the Augsburg College community to
celebrate academic achievement. Participation in commencement, however, does not mean that a student has
graduated. A student will not graduate and a degree will not be conferred until all requirements are met, regardless of
participation in commencement.
Augsburg College holds two commencement ceremonies in the spring to accommodate the College’s different student
populations. One commencement ceremony is for students in the Day undergraduate program. The second ceremony is for
graduate program students and undergraduate students in the Adult Undergraduate and Rochester programs.
Undergraduate students who have not completed all degree requirements may participate in commencement if: (1) no
more than three requirements will remain in their program at the conclusion of spring semester; and (2) the remaining
requirements will be completed in the summer or fall semesters immediately following commencement.
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
Requirements
At the end of each fall, spring, and summer semester, the College will review the academic progress of all non-degree
and degree-seeking undergraduate students registered for that semester.
In order to remain in good academic and financial aid standing, students are required to maintain a cumulative Augsburg
College GPA of at least 2.0 and cumulative credit completion rate of at least 66.67%.
Credit Completion Rate Calculation
Attempted credits: Includes transferred credits and unsatisfactory grades (W, X, 0.0, FN, N, IP).
o Remedial and repeated courses do not count as attempted credits, so should be subtracted from the total
number of attempted credits.*
Earned credits: Includes transferred credits and satisfactory grades (0.5 - 4.0, P).
Divide earned credits by attempted credits (do not round numbers up or down)
o Example: 19 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .7037 or 70.37%
o Example: 17 earned credits / 27 attempted credits = .6296 or 62.96%
Warning
Students who do not meet cumulative standards will be placed on Warning. At the end of the next semester attempted,
students meeting cumulative standards will be removed from Warning. If cumulative standards are not met, the
student’s semester term GPA and completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.25 term GPA
and 66.67% term completion rate and completing all other Warning requirements (www.augsburg.edu/acskills) will be
placed on Probation. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended.
Probation
Students on Probation must meet cumulative standards. At the end of the next semester attempted, students meeting
cumulative standards will be removed from Probation. If cumulative standards are not met, the student’s semester term
GPA and completion rate will be evaluated. Students earning a minimum of a 2.25 term GPA and 66.67% term
62
completion rate and completing all other Probation requirements (www.augsburg.edu/acskills) will remain on
Probation. If cumulative and term standards are not met, students will be Suspended.
Students on Warning or Probation who voluntarily withdraw from college may apply for readmission. At that time, the
Student Standing Committee will review their application for readmission.
For more information about Warning and Probation requirements, visit www.augsburg.edu/acskills.
Suspension
Students on Warning or Probation who do not meet cumulative and term standards will be suspended from the College.
Students may appeal their Suspension to the Student Standing Committee. Instructions for appeal are included in the
Letter of Suspension.
Students who have been suspended may apply for readmission after one full academic year (including fall, spring, and
summer semesters). At that time, the Student Standing Committee will review the application for readmission.
Augsburg College reserves the right to intervene with students who earn less than a 2.0 and 66.67% in a semester but
are otherwise meeting cumulative standards.
Professional Program Dismissal
Students may also be dismissed from professional programs, such as social work, education, and nursing. A student
dismissed from a program may appeal the decision through the Program Dismissal Appeal Process. The process is
available at inside.augsburg.edu/studentaffairs/studentguide.
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List, compiled after each semester, recognizes undergraduate students for outstanding achievement during
the term. Students can qualify for the Dean’s List in two ways:
Earning a semester GPA of 3.50 or higher based on 12 or more traditionally-graded credits
Earning a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher based on 6-11 traditionally-graded credits
Incomplete courses and other classes without final grades at the time the Dean’s List is compiled will not be considered.
The Dean’s List is published on Inside Augsburg and students can choose to submit announcements to their hometown
newspapers.
Enrollment/Degree Verification
Augsburg College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse to act as its agent for verification of student
enrollment and degree status.
Contact information is as follows:
National Student Clearinghouse

dependents should consult with the VA School Certifying Officials in the Registrar’s Office and Student Financial Services
about completion of enrollment verification and the forwarding of other information to the Department of Veterans
Affairs. Veterans will need to meet the requirements of the Veterans Administration regarding repayment of
63
educational assistance funds received. Additional information about veterans’ education benefits can be found at
www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
64
Augsburg Core Curriculum
Augsburg College is dedicated to educating students intellectually, physically, and spiritually. To live fully and act
effectively, humans must have a broad grasp of the world from which they have come, as well as the world in which they
live. Through providing courses in the humanities, fine arts, natural sciences, and social sciences, the core curriculum
introduces students to the breadth and complexity of human knowledge and our world.
“Search for Meaning” courses invite students to explore vocation, diversity, and pluralism through the study of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam, and encourages students to consider their own religious, philosophical, and ethical commitments
in dialogue with other perspective. The Language courses introduce students to the skills and sensibilities necessary to
cross cultures and work across difference. Wellness courses offer students opportunities to develop skills and habits of
healthful living.
Students choose from more than 50 major areas of study to gain a depth of knowledge in a discipline and to prepare for
a career or further study. Thus, through a balance of curricular activities supported by full programs in student life and
religious life, an Augsburg College education strives to educate its students in a real world for the real world.
Undergraduate Student Learning Outcomes
The College’s mission statement offers a series of educational values:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity in its
life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies, guided by the
faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
As part of this mission, Augsburg’s faculty have identified a set of outcomes for student learning
These areas reflect our shared commitment to offering a vibrant liberal arts education in tandem with career
preparation and vocational discovery. We expect students to achieve these outcomes cumulatively, through the
completion of the core curriculum, majors / minors, electives and co-curricular experiences.
As Informed Citizens, students are learning to …
engage their communities and demonstrate a sense of agency to create change in ethical and informed ways
explain diverse positions and collaborate effectively across social, cultural and geographic differences in local and
global contexts
As Thoughtful Stewards, students are learning to …
critically engage their own beliefs and articulate their gifts and goals for meaningful life and work in a pluralistic
context
identify the broad foundations for sustainable living and apply them in demonstrable ways
As Critical Thinkers, students are learning to …
use appropriate methods to gather and analyze evidence, identify underlying assumptions, and evaluate competing
claims
construct coherent, polished and persuasive arguments, narratives and explications in written, oral and other
formats
As Responsible Leaders, students are learning to …
employ the fundamental principles of quantitative literacy to arrive at thoughtful judgments
articulate and solve problems in creative, analytical, and integrative ways
65
Overview of the Curriculum
The Augsburg Curriculum is comprised of three main components: core curriculum (or general education requirements),
major requirements, and electives. Some students may need to complete entry-level skill courses before enrolling in

Entry Level Placement Tests
Prior to their first registration, students will complete entry level skills assessments in:
Mathematics
Writing
66
Language Placement
and, if applicable, English Language Learning
First-year students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later who require developmental/entry-level courses must
complete these courses by the end of their fourth term. Transfer students entering Augsburg in the fall of 2013 or later
must complete all required developmental/entry-level courses by the end of their third term. The developmental
courses subject to this policy are:
ENL 101
ENL 111 / HON 111 / ENL 112
ENL 217 / 218
MAT 103 / 105
Entry-Level Mathematics
For a strong start at Augsburg, students will take entry-level exams to determine their math placement group (MPG.) In
some cases, students who have transferred a mathematics course taken at another college may have their MPG
determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is
administered by Academic Advising. Students are required to take the Math Placement Exam before registering for the
first term. Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising -- students are encouraged to
study for the exam. Students may retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first term of enrollment.
Based on the math assessment result, students will be enrolled in the appropriate courses or advised on preparation for
retaking the Math Placement Exam. Students in Math Placement Group (MPG) 1 must take MAT 103 to advance to MPG
2. Students in MPG 2 must take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 must take MAT 114 to advance to
MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG. A grade of Pass or 2.0 or higher is required to advance to the
next math level.
Students are encouraged to advance their MPG as soon as possible. Students must achieve Math Placement Group
(MPG) 3 or higher to graduate. In addition, many courses require MPG 2, 3, or 4 as a prerequisite.
Entry-Level Writing
A writing sample is required of students to determine placement in an appropriate writing class. In some cases, students
who have transferred an equivalent English composition course from another college or Advanced Placement English
Language and Composition with a score of 4 or 5 may have placement determined by the Registrar’s Office. All other
students must take the Writing Placement Test, which is administered by Academic Advising.
Based on the writing sample, students are placed into the appropriate writing course. Students are required to complete
Effective Writing (or Advanced Effective Writing or Honors Effective Writing). Students who need to develop
competence in composition skills are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) before taking Effective
Writing. These students must pass Developmental Writing (ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in
Effective Writing (ENL 111/112/HON 111).
Modern Language Assessment
Students with proficiency or experience in French, German, or Spanish complete an assessment to determine placement
in Augsburg's modern language courses. Students begin their exploration of modern language at the level identified by
the placement test. This online assessment is administered by Academic Advising. Placement assessment for American
Sign Language and Ojibwe is administered by faculty representing those specific languages.
English Language Learners Assessment
Students whose primary language is other than English will complete an assessment to determine preparedness for
classes taught in English. Results of this assessment determine placement in English Language Learner course(s). This
assessment is administered by Academic Advising.
67
Core Skills Requirements
Effective Writing
Students must pass ENL 111 - Effective Writing, ENL 112 - Advanced Effective Writing, or HON 111 - Honors Effective
Writing with a grade of 2.0, P, or higher, or transfer in an equivalent course. Attendance at the first day of class is
required.
Language
For students who have not previously studied a second language, completion of a two-course sequence in the same
language with a minimum grade of 2.0 or P in both courses is required. For a language previously studied, placement
into the 211 level or successful completion (minimum grade of 2.0 or P) of 112 satisfies the graduation requirement.
Placement into French, German, and Spanish courses is based on assessment results from an online Brigham Young
University evaluation tool. Students proficient in other languages may seek a placement evaluation through faculty
fluent in the specified language at Augsburg or other ACTC schools. Details are available from Academic Advising.
Availability of assessment in all languages is not guaranteed.
Assessment is used for placement only and does not result in credit. Students may audit, but will not receive credit for
any course taken below their placement level. The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies may review and
sometimes override assessment results as deemed appropriate.
Modern language courses accepted in transfer may be applicable to this skills area for partial or full completion of the
requirement.
Students who have demonstrated competence in American Sign Language by passing an approved course sequence will
have fulfilled the Language Core Skill.
Students whose first language is not English and whose score is below the minimum on the English Language Learners
(ELL) placement test must fulfill the ELL requirement. The requirement is satisfied by successfully completing the ELL
course(s) and achieving a score above the minimum on the ELL placement exam. Students who complete the ELL
requirement will receive credit for the Language Core Skill requirement. Contact Academic Advising or the English
Department for additional information.
Health and Wellness
Two health and wellness courses are required. WEL100 - Foundations of Wellness (formerly HPE001) is required of all
students. The second course may be chosen from a variety of different WEL102 – Recreational Wellness (formerly
HPE002) courses. Students may test out of the WEL102 course by demonstrating proficiency from a selected
Recreational Wellness activity. Proficiency exams are offered through the Health and Physical Education Department
each semester. There is a fee to take the Recreational Wellness Activity Proficiency Test. Intercollegiate athletes and
Health and Physical Education majors may not test out of this requirement.
The Augsburg Core Curriculum
The Augsburg Core Curriculum is designed to prepare students to become effective, informed, and ethical citizens
through their engagement in a curriculum that:
Provides a liberal arts foundation and promotes the acquisition of intellectual and professional skills
Calls for common inquiry into questions of faith and the search for meaning
Cultivates the transformative discovery of, and appreciation for, the student’s place of leadership and service in a
diverse world
The curriculum has three major components:
Liberal Arts Foundation
Signature Curriculum
68
Skills Development
The Augsburg First Year
To smooth the transition to college and their new community, first-year weekday program students are required to take
courses containing the following components:
Augsburg Seminar and Engaging Minneapolis
The Engaging Minneapolis requirement builds on Augsburg’s national leadership in experiential education as well as its
commitment to its urban location. Embedded in the first-year Augsburg Seminar experience, Engaging Minneapolis
introduces students to the city as a resource for intentional learning, typically through civic engagement, cultural
engagement, and/or service-learning.
Many Voices Project
Embedded in ENL 111, 112, and HON 111 (see Core Skills requirements), the Many Voices Project engages first-year
students in discussion of a common text addressing themes of cultural diversity and global awareness. Emphasizing ways
in which written communication can promote understanding and productive engagement among different cultures and
points of view, the Many Voices Project is intended to teach skills and methods that promote successful communication
among diverse writers and readers.
The Augsburg Signature Curriculum
Religion, Vocation, and the Search for Meaning
Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, the Search for Meaning courses encourage inquiry, welcome
diversity, wrestle with life’s complexities, and engage the world. Two required courses (REL 100 plus a Search for
Meaning II course) highlight Augsburg’s commitment to developing religious literacy and nurturing students to think
critically about the concept of vocation.
Students from all faith traditions will find a generous spirit of hospitality in these courses. Whether you are Jewish or
atheist, Buddhist or seeker, Catholic or Muslim, Baptist, Lutheran, uncertain, disinterested, or someone who is “spiritual
but not religious,” these courses promote respect and understanding across faith traditions. All religion courses engage
with the concept of vocation and an understanding that we are called to live and serve as neighbors. REL 100 explores
the idea that vocation is a model and lens for viewing the connections between our basic beliefs and the commitments
and actions we make in life.
The Liberal Arts Foundation
The Liberal Arts Foundation courses introduce students to knowledge and modes of inquiry across a wide range of
disciplines and subjects. The course offerings in the liberal arts provide the opportunity for students to acquire a broad
and solid foundation for their specialized study and professional preparation.
Students choose two approved LAF courses from two different departments in each domain: Natural Sciences and
Mathematics, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts.
The official list of approved LAF courses is found on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Two approved courses from two different departments: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics,
Physics. One must be a lab science course.
Social and Behavioral Sciences
Two approved courses from two different departments: Anthropology, Economics, Environmental Studies, Political
Science, Psychology, Sociology.
69
Humanities
Two approved courses from two different departments/programs: American Indian Studies, Communication Studies,
English, History, Philosophy, Religion, Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies (literature and culture courses), and Gender,
Sexuality, and Women’s Studies.
Note: The signature Search for Meaning (REL 100 and 200) courses do not count as humanities Liberal Arts Foundation
requirements. If a student opts to take another approved upper-division REL course to fulfill the Search for Meaning II
requirement, it may not count toward a Humanities LAF.
Fine Arts
Two approved courses or approved activities from two different departments: Art, Film, Music, Theater.
One fine arts LAF requirement can be met by participating in one of the following:
Four semesters in any combination of the major choral ensembles listed (MUE 111, 112, 114, 115)
Four semesters of orchestra (MUE 121)
Four semesters of concert band (MUE 141)
Senior Keystone
The Senior Keystone course provides a final opportunity for exploring the central themes of an Augsburg education—
vocation and the search for meaning in a diverse and challenging world. In this course, students reflect on the meaning
of their educational experiences and consider issues of transition as they prepare for their lives after Augsburg. Many
Keystone courses also meet major requirements.
The Senior Keystone course in each department connects the broad liberal arts foundation with the professional skills
and in-depth study of the major. It asks graduating students to think critically, reflectively, and ethically about their place
in the world as leaders and servants.
Electives
A student must complete a minimum of 128 semester credits in order to graduate. If the Core Curriculum and Major
requirements do not reach 128 semester credits, the student may take electives for credit in any subject area to reach
the minimum credit requirement.
Majors
For major requirements, see the appropriate departmental page(s) of this catalog or consult the department chair.
Graduation Skills
An Augsburg education aims to develop certain key skills during the years in college. Critical thinking, quantitative
reasoning, speaking, writing and information literacy are deliberate components of certain courses. Graduation skill
requirements typically are embedded in required courses in the major. Some departments, however, designate courses
outside the major or elective courses in the major that fulfill these requirements.
The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) skill incorporates both foundational mathematical skills and the application of those
skills. MPG 3 (Math Placement Group 3) is a prerequisite for all quantitative reasoning courses. See the appropriate
departmental page(s) in this catalog or consult the department chair for more information.
Core Curriculum Modifications
Some majors that result in a Bachelor of Science degree give students the ability to modify their Core Curriculum
requirements in one of the following ways.
70
Bachelor of Science/Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) Waiver
Students who elect the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver must complete at least six of the eight LAF requirements,
provided at least one course is taken in each of the four domains. (e.g., two Natural Science and Mathematics courses,
two Social and Behavioral Science courses, one Fine Arts course, and one Humanities course) The following majors are
approved for the Bachelor of Science/LAF Waiver:
Actuarial Science (St. Thomas)
Biology
Biopsychology

courses as part of their degree. The following majors are approved for the Bachelor of Science/Modern Language
Waiver:
Actuarial Science (St. Thomas)
Biology
Biopsychology
Chemistry
Mathematical Economics
Mathematics
Music Therapy
Nursing
Physics
71
Majors and Minors
Majors, or concentrations of study, may be within one department, within one division, or may cross academic
disciplines.
Students are required to declare a major upon completion of 48 semester credits, and earlier in some disciplines. Details
of majors and minors are in the departmental pages of this catalog. Unless otherwise indicated, majors are part of the
Bachelor of Arts degree. Students are not required to complete a minor for graduation. Minors completed after a
bachelor’s degree is awarded are noted on the transcript.
Below is a complete list of majors, minors, and emphases. Listings that are in bold type are offered through both the Day

Student-Designed Major
Students may design their own major with the assistance and approval of three advisors from relevant fields and
subsequent final approval by the Augsburg College Academic Affairs Committee (AAC). A student-designed major allows
flexibility in selecting major courses. Any student wishing to design a major must complete a proposal, submit it with
approval and supporting letters from three faculty advisors, and obtain AAC approval of the program. Students should
seek AAC approval as early as possible so that any changes suggested by AAC may be incorporated into the design
without affecting the student’s proposed completion date. The deadline for initial submission of the program design to
AAC is the first term in which the student has achieved junior status; the final version must be approved the term before
the student achieves senior status.
Students wishing to design majors must:
1. Develop the student-designed major in concert with three faculty advisors from relevant fields, who together
constitute the Review Team. All advisors must sign the proposal cover sheet and submit supporting letters of
approval to AAC. Supporting letters should assess both the student’s ability to complete the proposed major and the
validity and value of the proposed major, including (in at least one of the letters) the proposed capstone course. The
advisors’ signatures and supporting letters represent their approval of the program, including the capstone course,
and their commitment to oversee the student’s progress.
2. Develop a student-designed major program proposal that includes:
A statement of learning goals and objectives
A list of proposed courses (minimum of 36 semester credits, no more than one of which is a lower-level
language course, and at least five of which are upper division) and a discussion of how the courses are related to
the program goals. Indicate how the proposed courses collectively support a specialized and cohesive plan
usually associated with a college major. Proposals must include research describing comparable programs of
study at a minimum of three other academic institutions. In addition, students should consult with the Clair &
Gladys Strommen Center for Meaningful Work for additional information regarding career objectives. The
proposal should provide information showing how the Augsburg Core Curriculum requirements (including
graduation skills) are to be fulfilled.
A description of the student-designed major capstone to be taken some time during the senior year. The student
should devise the capstone in consultation with advisors. It should require an integrative project/paper that
draws together the coursework up to that point and/or prepares one for further study. In addition, at least one
of the advisors must specifically address the rationale for the proposed capstone in his or her supporting letter,
though approval of the student-designed major program by all advisors presumes their approval of the capstone
course.
Submit the completed proposal and supporting documentation to the Office of Academic Affairs.
If AAC approves the proposed major program, the student will be expected to complete the program designed and still
meet all of the other Augsburg degree requirements as stated in the college catalog.
Students who design their own majors will meet with their advisors regularly throughout the design and subsequent
evaluation of their program. Changes in the approved student-designed major may be made through the normal
petition process to the Student Standing Committee with advisor approval.
ACTC Majors
Full-time Day students may complete other majors through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). Students
who wish to complete a major or minor offered at one of the other ACTC colleges must submit a completed ACTC Major
or Minor Declaration Form to the Registrar’s Office. This form must list all ACTC courses required and be signed by the
ACTC school advisor. Some majors may not be available or may have a competitive application process with acceptance
determined by the major department.
74
Students choosing an ACTC major will need to work with an advisor at the other campus to plan course schedules so
that the student is making progress towards the degree. Students should know that registration for ACTC courses can
be limited and are advised to submit registration materials at the earliest possible time.
75
Pre-Professional Programs
Students who plan to enter the fields of law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, veterinary science, or pharmacy can profit
from a liberal arts education at Augsburg.
It is recommended that requirements for admission to graduate schools or seminaries be reviewed and the course of
study at Augsburg planned accordingly. A faculty advisor is available in each field to assist students in their planning. In
addition, the Undergraduate Research and Graduate Opportunities (URGO) office includes a Health Science Advisor who
works directly with students pursuing health care fields. Students who want to plan a pre-professional program should
contact Academic Advising prior to or early in their first year to arrange for faculty advising.
List of Pre-Professional Programs
Pre-Health Science
o See Biology Departmental page
Pre-Law
o Students considering a career in law should examine the handbook published by the Association of
American Law Schools. Pre-law students major in disciplines of their own choosing; most law school
entrance requirements will be satisfied with a record of solid achievement coupled with an acceptable Law
School Admission Test (LSAT) score.
Pre-Pharmacy
o Augsburg has a program designed to fulfill minimum requirements of the College of Pharmacy at the
University of Minnesota: BIO 151, 353, 476; CHM 115, 116, 351, 352; COM 111 or 115; ECO 112 or 113; ENL
111, 220; MAT 145; PHY 121, 122; and two courses in behavioral sciences such as PSY 105 and SOC 121.
Requirements at other universities may vary.
Pre-Seminary
o A student may enter a theological seminary with any of several different majors, such as history, philosophy,
English, psychology, sociology, or religion. Recommended preparation includes REL 100, 200; at least two
semesters of history (Western civilization); one or more courses in the history of philosophy; and Greek in
the junior and/or senior year. The Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation provides resources and
support, including scholarship opportunities, for students considering seminary.
76
Academic Organization and Departments
As a liberal arts institution, Augsburg College believes that knowledge and truth are interrelated and are integrated into
a whole. The tradition of the academic world, however, divides this unified truth into more manageable parts: the
academic disciplines. The knowledge of individual disciplines is subdivided into courses that make it more accessible to
students. These courses can be arranged in various ways to construct majors, to create the substance of a broad general
education, and to give students the opportunity to study areas of particular individual interest.
Degrees Offered
Augsburg offers the following undergraduate degrees:
Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Music
Bachelor of Science
Faculty
The heart of any educational institution is its faculty. Augsburg College is particularly proud of the excellence and
commitment of its professors. Most faculty hold a doctorate or the highest degree in their field, and all consider
teaching to be the focus of their activity. Faculty are also involved in a variety of professional and research activities that
support their teaching. They are actively involved in an exciting faculty development program that introduces them to
current thought in many fields, but especially in teaching techniques and theories.
Augsburg’s size and small classes encourage its tradition of close involvement between professors and students. Faculty
act as academic advisors and participate regularly in campus activities. Every incoming student is assigned both a faculty
and staff academic advisor. In this close interaction, faculty act as mentors for students, and the staff advisor primarily
guides course planning.
Course Descriptions
Course descriptions offer a brief summary of the subject matter to aid students in planning a program. Course
descriptions can be found at our Course Description Search. A syllabus containing a more detailed explanation of
content, approach, requirements, and evaluations for a particular course can be obtained from the instructor.
Internships and Independent Studies
Every department offers opportunities for internships and independent study. The course description and process for
registering for credit is normally the same for each department. Some departments have additional requirements that
are noted in the course description. Interdisciplinary internships are also available.
Internships
198 – Internship/On-campus
199 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits)
A work or service-based learning experience typically at the sophomore level in which a student, faculty member, and
site supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities
inherent in the placement. Prior to the beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the
departmental internship coordinator or a faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and
permission to register.
396 - Internship/On-campus (4 credits)
397 - Internship/Off-campus (2 credits)
398 - Internship/On-campus (2 credits)
77
399 - Internship/Off-campus (4 credits)
A work or service-based learning experience at the junior/senior level in which a student, faculty member, and site
supervisor design a learning agreement that links the ideas and methods of the discipline with the opportunities
inherent in the placement. For some majors, participation in a concurrent seminar may be expected. Prior to the
beginning of the term/registration, interested students must consult with the departmental internship coordinator or a
faculty member and the Strommen Center regarding requirements and permission to register. (Off-campus 397/399
internships are one option for the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.)
Directed and Independent Studies
299 - Directed Study
An opportunity to study topics not covered in the scheduled offerings under the direction of an instructor. Approval
must be secured in writing from the instructor and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is
undertaken.
499 - Independent Study/Research
An opportunity for advanced and specialized research projects. Approval must be secured in writing from the instructor
and the department chairperson before the term in which the study is undertaken.
Academic Year
All Augsburg programs follow the semester calendar with fall, spring, and summer semester lengths ranging from 14-16
weeks.
In Augsburg’s Day Program full-time students normally take 16 credits per semester. Day Program students are able to
take courses from the other four Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities during fall or spring semester.
Adult Undergraduate (AU) classes typically meet on the same night of the week, Monday through Thursday for threeand-a-half hours, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. The alternating weeks of the semester are labeled “Maroon,”
and “Silver.” Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Students may take up to 18 credits
per semester.
Weekend and Evening College (WEC) classes typically meet on alternate weekends. There are seven to eight face to face
class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester, and classes meet on weekends for 3.5 to 4 hours.
Students may take up to 18 credits per semester.
Rochester (ROCH) campus classes are held on weekday evenings and meet alternate weeks. There are seven to eight
class sessions supplemented by online instruction each semester with each class meeting for 3.5 to 4 hours. Students
may take up to 18 credits per semester.
Courses and majors offered through AU/ROCH/WEC are equivalent to their Day Program counterparts. However, the
curriculum is limited to selected liberal arts courses and majors.
Course Offerings
In general, most courses are offered at least once per year unless otherwise indicated. Since some courses are offered
alternate years, it is important that the student review major requirements and course offerings with an advisor to
ensure that all requirements can be met.
Note: Not all courses are offered in all programs. Refer to AugNet Records and Registration for information on when
specific courses are offered.
78
Credit Hour Definition
Augsburg’s credit hour policy follows the federal guidelines in defining a semester credit hour as one fifty-minute period
of instruction and 100 minutes of out-of-class work per week for fifteen weeks, or the equivalent amount of student
work completed over a different time frame or via a different delivery method.
Numbering
Courses numbered 100 -299 are classified as lower division. Courses numbered 300 and above are classified as upper
division. In general, courses in the 100s are primarily for first-years, 200s for sophomores, 300s for juniors, and 400s for
seniors.
Prerequisites
Courses that must be taken before enrolling in a higher level course are listed in the online Course Description Search as
prerequisites. While it is not recommended, a student may enroll in a course when a prerequisite has not been fulfilled if
there is prior approval by the professor teaching the course. Effective Writing (ENL111) and math placement
prerequisites cannot be waived by the instructor. Students may be dropped from a course they have registered for if
they do not earn a satisfactory grade in the prerequisite for that course in the preceding semester.

Art
Art is essential. It teaches us to see, claim beauty, make sense of pain, explore the world, and express ourselves.
At Augsburg College, inspiration and creativity flourish with diversity. We are a small campus in the heart of a major
metropolitan area with an innovative faculty and creative curriculum in graphic design, drawing, painting, printmaking,
ceramics, sculpture, photography, hand papermaking, book arts, architecture, and digital media. A solid foundation of
drawing, design, and history is balanced with the development of technical skills, critical thinking, and creative
exploration in a range of media. On-campus galleries showcase student and professional artwork. Nearby museums,
galleries, studio visits, and guest artists provide art in real time. Service learning, internships, and study abroad are
integral to our program. We reach nearly 1,000 students a year from all disciplines, and graduate 25-30 majors annually
with Bachelor of Arts degrees in art history, studio art, and art education. An emphasis in graphic design, an architecture
minor, and certificates in art and graphic design provide additional opportunities for specialization.
For half a century, students have been earning degrees in studio art and art history at Augsburg College. We’re excited
to be here in the center of the city. You will be, too.

Biology
From transgenic crops to emerging diseases to being a member of the human species, biology affects – literally – every
part of your life. Because biology is such a broad field, the biology program at Augsburg emphasizes integration across
many sub-disciplines, including molecular, cellular, organismal, evolutionary, and ecological biology. Additionally, the
biology program at Augsburg coordinates with the mathematics, chemistry, and physics programs to ensure that our
students acquire the necessary knowledge to fully understand biological phenomena.
Augsburg’s Biology program is designed to provide students with the opportunities to (1) understand the fundamental
knowledge of the discipline, (2) know how scientific knowledge is generated and disseminated, (3) effectively
communicate scientific information in written and oral forms, (4) be proficient in common biological lab techniques, and
(5) demonstrate professionalism in the sciences. Additionally, Augsburg has a strong commitment to undergraduate
research, both on and off campus. There are a variety of opportunities to work on research projects with Biology faculty
and subsequently present your research at regional, national, and international meetings.
Graduates of our Biology program follow many different paths. Most of our graduates use their undergraduate major in
Biology as a springboard for further study. Augsburg graduates have gone on to graduate studies leading to careers in
post-secondary teaching, basic and applied research, and public health or have entered professional programs in
medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. In addition, many of our students go directly into the workforce as
laboratory technologists and teachers.

their advisor, seek approval from the department to complete major requirements with as many as four upper division
courses from other institutions.
Departmental Honors
The awarding of Departmental Honors recognizes a student’s outstanding achievement(s) in the Biology Major. Only
students who have a major GPA of 3.5 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher may earn Departmental Honors by
successfully completing one of the following:
1. Continuation of a summer or academic year biology research internship via successful completion of BIO 297, BIO 399,
BIO 497, BIO 499 or HON 499. Before registering for one of these options, students must submit a formal letter of intent
to an Honors Committee of three biology faculty (to be determined by the mentor and student) at least 2 weeks prior to
the registration deadline. This formal letter of intent will be composed of no more than one page of text providing the
following: (1) Title of project; (2) abstract describing the project with special focus given to the questions that will be
addressed, the methods to be used and the expected outcomes; (3) name and signature (with date) of your faculty
advisor; and (4) list of the three Biology Department faculty who have agreed to serve as your Honors Committee. A
decision whether or not to approve registration will be made by the Honors Committee within one week of submission.
Successful completion of the Honors process requires a public presentation of your research and a written report in the
style of a typical peer-reviewed biological discipline journal article. The written report will be accepted or rejected by the
Honors Committee within 2 weeks of submission.
2. Selection for, participation in, and completion of the Mayo Innovation Scholars Program (including the final
presentation).
3. Scoring above the national 90th percentile on the ETS Major Field Test in Biology.
Minor
A course sequence in general chemistry and five biology courses including BIO 151, 152, and three additional BIO
courses (200 level or above). The majority of courses in biology must be taken at Augsburg College.
Other Requirements
In planning their courses of study, students are encouraged to work closely with members of the biology faculty. Biology
majors must have an advisor in the biology department. In order to complete all major requirements in four years, BIO
151 and 152 and General Chemistry should be taken in the first year, and BIO 253, BIO 255 and Organic Chemistry (when
appropriate) in the second year. Students should complete their math requirements early in their college careers.
Students must earn a minimum grade of 1.0 and an average grade of 2.0 in BIO 151 and 152. Supporting course
requirements in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and communication must be satisfied with a grade of 2.0 or higher to
90
satisfy either major or prerequisite requirements. A grade of 2.0 or higher is required in BIO 253 and BIO 255 in order to
fulfill major requirements and to fulfill the prerequisite requirements of several upper division biology electives. A grade
of 2.0 or higher must be earned in all upper division biology courses applied toward meeting the requirements of a
major. All biology courses applied toward the major must be traditionally graded. A GPA of 2.5 in biology courses is
required for the life science major.
*Students completing majors in biology or life science will be required to take the ETS Major Field Test in Biology during
their final year of the program. The exam will appear on the graduation checklist.
Biology for Health Sciences
Prerequisite requirements for health sciences vary with the program and the institution. Care should be taken to study
the requirements for every program well in advance of making application. In general, the pre-medical curriculum
includes a year each of biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus and physics. Courses in biochemistry,
statistics, advanced biology, and social and behavioral sciences are also important preparation for the MR5 Medical
College Admissions Exam. Programs in physician assistant training, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, and such
typically have a more extensive list of prerequisites. Students considering a post-baccalaureate program in these areas
should consult early and often with health science advisors Catherina Kipper, Dixie Shafer, Dale Pederson, and Kelsey
Richardson-Blackwell.
Graduate Training in Biology
Graduate programs in biological fields typically require two semesters of general chemistry, organic chemistry, calculus,
and physics. Also required is extensive involvement in research through Augsburg Experience, internships, and/or
independent study. Careful consultation with a biology advisor is recommended to select among coursework and
research options.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for biology teachers, the science portions of which are
satisfied by the Augsburg Life Sciences major only if BIO476 Microbiology and BIO481 Ecology are selected as two of the
upper division electives. The state requirements may be subject to change after the publication of this catalog. Students
should therefore consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher licensure
requirements. All upper division biology requirements for secondary licensure must be completed before beginning
student teaching.
Post-Baccalaureate Teaching Licensure
Students who have earned a bachelor’s degree elsewhere and seek life science teaching licensure at Augsburg are
required to complete a minimum of two upper division biology courses at Augsburg with grades of 2.5 or higher.
Required or elective courses are determined by the department following review of transcripts and prior to
matriculation.
Beta Beta Beta
Membership in the Augsburg chapter of this national biology honor society is open to students who have completed at
least one upper division biology course and have a GPA of 3.0 in biology.
Cooperative Education and Service-Learning
The department works with the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work in identifying and defining cooperative
education experiences in laboratories and other settings in the Twin Cities.

Chemistry
Chemistry is the science that examines and works toward understanding matter and changes in matter. Chemistry has
been described as the central science because matter includes the entire physical world, such as the things we use, the
food we eat, and even ourselves. Correlating the insights of chemistry with physics, mathematics, and molecular biology
opens vistas that excite and offer opportunities to benefit the entire world.
Chemists as scientists must be knowledgeable in fact and theory for solving scientific problems and also capable of
providing a public understanding of their work, including potential problems as well as benefits.
Chemists as people must be broadly educated in order to understand themselves and their society. The liberal arts as
offered in the general education curriculum are imperative if a chemist is to be both truly human and truly scientific.
Augsburg’s Chemistry department is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and offers a Chemistry major
that meets the chemistry background required by many fields.
Consonant with these ideals, the Chemistry Department has established the following objectives to help its students
develop into mature scientists:
To provide a course of study of sufficient rigor and depth to enable our graduates who complete our ACS Chemistry
major to compete successfully with their peers of similar ability in graduate school or research positions, as well as
professional goals other than traditional positions as chemists.
To provide an atmosphere of learning so that students will want to remain lifelong learners, thereby remaining
competent in their field, however that may change after graduation, and be able to move into new areas as
opportunities arise.
To encourage students to take a broad view of their education and to integrate outside study areas with the
sciences.
To present the excitement of chemistry to non-science majors as an example of the methodology of the natural
sciences in examining the world around us. The presentation of major concepts underlying the changes in matter,
the opportunity to examine change in the physical world, and the reflection of the implications and limitations of
science in our society will enhance the ability of non-science persons to make better value judgments concerning
science questions in their own endeavors.

Economics
The Department of Economics offers a program that stresses a strong theoretical background, quantitative analysis, and
an emphasis on national and international issues. Students who graduate with an economics major are well prepared to
continue their education in a variety of fields or to work successfully in business and government because of the strong
liberal arts emphasis within the major.
The department offers six majors: Economics, Applied Economics, Mathematical Economics, Business and Economics,
Computational Economics, and Economics and Political Science (Education majors only).
The Economics major and the Applied Economics majors lead to careers in the business world or government. The
Mathematical Economics major is designed for students who intend to attend graduate school in economics or another
quantitative field such as finance or operations research. It is also designed to serve students to work in quantitative
fields immediately upon graduation, e.g., research analysts or actuaries. Computational Economics provides a liberal arts
entry into the field of computer science. The combined Economics/Business Administration major allows students great
flexibility in order to explore both fields. Finally, the teaching major in Political Science/Economics allows secondary
education licensure students to obtain a solid background for teaching economics.
The study of economics provides a firm foundation for confronting change because it presents a disciplined way to
analyze and make choices. An Economics major prepares students for community leadership and leads to a great
diversity of career opportunities including law, teaching, journalism, and private and public international service. Pre-law
and potential Master of Business Administration students are especially encouraged to consider Economics as a major or
a minor.
Students are able to combine an Economics major with other disciplines such as Business Administration, International
Relations, Mathematics, Management Information Systems, Political Science, History, and area study programs.
Students who are interested in any type of quantitatively-oriented graduate program in economics or in business are
encouraged to either major or minor in Mathematics. These students should also take courses in Computer Science.
Consult an advisor for specific course suggestions.
For the Economics and Applied Economics majors, the capstone experience is ECO 490 - Research Methods in
Econometrics. Students in other majors should consult their advisor for alternatives. Internships are recommended.
Students must consult with the department chair and the Strommen Center before registering for an internship for
academic credit.
Note: Transfer students must complete at least three upper division economics courses for a major and two for a minor.
Transfer classes must have been completed in the last 10 years with at least a 2.0 grade.

Education
The Department of Education maintains liberal arts-based teacher education programs that are accredited by the
Minnesota Board of Teaching and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). These programs lead
to recommendation for licensure to the State of Minnesota for:
Elementary (grades K-6)
Secondary—grades 5-12 in communication arts/literature, health, mathematics, and social studies; grades 9-12 in
life science, chemistry, and physics
K-12 licenses in visual arts, physical education, music, English as a Second Language (ESL) and the NEW special
education: Academic Behavioral Strategist (ABS) license. (Note the ESL and ABS programs are available in weekday
evening program only*)
General Science (5-8) initial license
Optional endorsements for a K-6 elementary license include, mathematics (grades 5-8), general science (grades 5-8),
social studies (grades 5-8), or communication arts/literature (grades 5-8).
Program Availability
Degree and/or licensure programs are available in both the Day and AU (weekday evening*) programs. Augsburg
Undergraduate (AU) degree and licensure programs are limited to elementary, secondary communication arts/literature
and social studies, and K-12 visual arts, ESL and ABS. Additional licensure programs are available through the Day
program and open to AU students who can take courses on a weekday schedule. All prerequisite courses, elementary
core courses, and professional education courses are available on a weekday evening schedule*. P-12 field service
requirements associated with courses and student teaching must be completed during regular P-12 school hours. All
students must have some time available each term for field service in P-12 educational settings.
Graduate Master of Arts in Education
A graduate level licensure option is available in the AU* program to those already holding a BA/BS degree. Graduate
courses taken for licensure can be applied to a Master of Arts degree in Education (MAE).
Licensure only
Students who have completed a BA/BS degree may complete a licensure only program within the day or AU*
undergraduate program. Contact the Education Department or the Office of Admissions for information.
Program Overview
Students in all degree and/or licensure programs must apply for acceptance into the Education Department prior to
beginning most 300-400 level courses. (EDC 310 may be taken prior to admission). All students are required to meet the
statutory requirements for a skills exam in reading, writing and math. The Minnesota Basic Skills requirement may be
met by providing passing scores on one of the three test batteries (MTLE, SAT, or ACT Plus Writing). Additional criteria
for acceptance into the Education Department are available through the department website. Students complete a
semester of full-time student teaching at the conclusion of their degree and/or licensure. Students must complete the
EdTPA during their student teaching semester. State law requires passing appropriate exams (basic skills, pedagogy, and
content exams) prior to recommendation for licensure. Students who entered Augsburg College under earlier catalogs
must comply with the requirements of the new licensure programs.
The Education Department offers non-licensure majors in Elementary Education and Education Studies. Contact the
department for details. The department also offers a Special Education minor which is described at the end of this
section.
127
Students are assigned an Education Department program advisor upon request or at the outset of EDC coursework. All
students are expected to become knowledgeable about programs and follow through with department policies.
Handbooks outlining programs and policies are available through the Education Department and website.
Student Teaching Abroad
Selected Education Department students may participate in an international student teaching program. Those interested
in further information should contact the Education Department at least one year prior to student teaching. Students
who teach abroad will do part of their student teaching in the Twin Cities area under direct Augsburg faculty
supervision. In addition to gaining Education Department approval for student teaching abroad, students must apply
through the Study Abroad and Study Away Office in the Center for Global Education and Experience.

English
Through the study of English we witness life’s complexity, experience life as others do, and thus better understand the
world in which we live and work. Literature helps us contemplate the pains and joys of human existence and allows us to
frame human events within diverse world views. Those who study English typically believe that an intense concern for
words, ideas, and images helps people understand who they are and who they can become. At the same time, the
English Department’s emphasis on writing helps our students to clarify and share their thoughts.
English relates closely to other majors. Like the other arts, English is concerned with the pleasure that comes from
artistic creation and with the contemplation of works of art. Like psychology and sociology, English is concerned with
individual and group behavior. Like philosophy, English is interested in ideas and in the relation between meaning and
language. Like science, English is interested in discovering order and determining structures. Like speech and
communication, English studies the effective use of language. Like history and the other social sciences and humanities,
English studies the way people have acted and thought at different times and in various cultures.
Augsburg’s English Department integrates its programs with cultural opportunities available in this vital urban area.
Plays, films, and readings are available near the campus, often within walking distance. English majors also have
opportunities to use and refine their skills by working in internships on and off campus, tutoring English Language
Learner (ELL) students, or tutoring in the Writing Lab.
Students who complete an Augsburg English major pursue careers in elementary, secondary, and college education,
journalism, government, law, the ministry, library science, medicine, advertising, public relations, publishing, writing,
and other professions and businesses.

Degree and Major Requirements
Choosing a Concentration
Students majoring in English have the opportunity to choose one of three concentrations: literature, language, and
theory; creative writing; and secondary licensure in communication arts/literature.
While some of our courses explicitly address theoretical approaches to literature, especially those that examine race,
class, and gender, all of our courses infuse these concerns in their engagement with primary works of fiction, poetry,
creative nonfiction, film, and drama. All literature classes involve students in multiple forms of literary examination and
are taught by professors who love teaching and who love literature. Our classes develop and demand the skills of
aesthetic receptivity, perceptive and critical reading, open and clear speaking, and analytical and engaging writing—skills
of the educated and employable citizen.
English Major with a Literature, Language, and Theory Concentration
The Literature, Language, and Theory concentration provides students various approaches to the study of the written
word and visual text. Spotlight courses focus on specific authors, genres, or themes, and enable the discovery of new
literary experiences. Courses in African American, Native American, Asian American, and postcolonial literatures
reconfigure the nature of traditional literary studies. Survey courses in English, American, and world literatures are
organized by historical periods and provide a classically structured framework of study. Courses in literary theory
demand the intense and intellectually challenging engagement of text, culture, and self. The Literature, Language, and
137

English Major with a Creative Writing Concentration
The English Creative Writing concentration helps students develop professional writing skills by focusing their efforts in
the creative modes: poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and screenwriting. Over the course of the major,
students master terminology; engage the field’s aesthetic and ethical issues; and read and study the works of
established writers. The creative writing concentration expands competencies in observation, research, and analysis that
enable writers to gather and interpret material from a variety of sources and perspectives for their work; it attends
particularly to the artistic aspects of the writer’s craft, such as form, affect, and revision. English majors in Creative
Writing engage the interdisciplinary demands inherent in literary endeavors, including issues of design, and enhance
their appreciation of the aesthetic possibilities inherent in the writing life.
Creative Writing courses are taught by dedicated professors, who are themselves practicing writers. The writing
concentration offers courses of study cross-listed with Art, Communication Studies, and Theater.
To complete this concentration students must take 10 courses above ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112, including three
literature, language, and theory courses. At least one of these must be at the 300-level or higher.

Graduation Skills
Graduation Skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses
and are met by completing the major.
Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of
these skills.
The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill is met by completing the following courses:
GST 200, MAT 163, MAT 164, or PHY 119
Departmental Honors
GPA of 3.5 in the major and 3.0 overall; submit proposal to department chair by early October in senior year for
department approval. Submit and defend paper before faculty committee. Honors project may receive independent
study credit (refer to departmental guidelines).
Transfer Students
Note: Transfer undergraduate English majors must take at least three of their English courses at Augsburg. Transfer
students who minor in English must take at least two of their English courses at Augsburg.
Transfer English education students with a BA in English from another college must take at least three of their English
courses at Augsburg (preferably upper division courses). These courses must be taken before the department can
recommend a student for student teaching.
The English Placement Test
A writing sample is required of students to determine their placement in an appropriate writing class. Students having
completed AP (Advanced Placement) courses in composition must have a score of 4 or 5. Students who need to develop
competence in composition skills—such as stating and supporting a thesis, organizing clearly, and constructing
paragraphs and sentences—are required to enroll in Developmental Writing (ENL 101) where they receive more
individual instruction than is possible in Effective Writing (ENL 111). These students must pass Developmental Writing
(ENL 101) with a grade of P, 2.0, or higher before enrolling in Effective Writing (ENL 111).
Note: Students should register for ENL 101 during the first semester of attendance if possible. ENL 111, 112, or HON 111
should be completed, if possible, during the first year.
Students in Developmental Writing (ENL 101), Effective Writing (ENL 111), HON 111, or ENL 112 can elect the traditional
grading system or P/N grading in consultation with their instructor up through the last week of class (without special
permission/petition).
Service Courses
The department offers these service courses for students as required by a placement test.
Literature, Language, and Theory Courses
The 200-level courses in the literature, language, and theory track of the English major develop foundational
competencies in reading and interpreting literary texts, and provide opportunities for diverse literary discovery. These
courses require ENL 111, or HON 111, or ENL 112 as a prerequisite or co-requisite.
Upper Level Courses
The 300-level courses in the literature track in English concentrate on primary texts in historical and cultural contexts.
These courses ask students to practice interpreting literary texts by employing techniques, terminology, and research
methods of the discipline, resulting in effective and substantive expository writing about the subject. Unless otherwise
indicated, students must take ENL 220 or 221 (see writing courses), or one 200-level literature, language, or theory
course, or gain consent of the instructor as a prerequisite.
140
The 400-level literature, language, and theory courses emphasize scholarship, criticism, and theory, and ask students to
write and speak professionally about literary texts. Any 300-level literature course or permission of the instructor serve
as a prerequisite for the 400-level. One 400-level course must fulfill the keystone requirement.
Writing Courses
Note: First day attendance in all writing courses is mandatory for a student to hold their place in the course.

Environmental Studies
Environmental Studies is the interdisciplinary investigation of human relations with the natural world. The program
pursues a multifaceted examination—across the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and professional studies—
of the interdependence shared by people and nature. It provides an understanding of the material world as well as the
ecological, social, and cultural processes and problems that bind that world together. Through the study of politics,
biology, literature, chemistry, social work, economics, communications and history, Environmental Studies students
focus on the most pressing local, regional, national, and global issues of our day.
Augsburg College’s location in the city offers a particular opportunity for the close study of complex urban
environments. Although many equate environmental issues with rural areas, most people live in cities. Urban residents
shape nature in innumerable ways, including through energy, food, and water consumption; transportation; and
industrial production. In turn, cities often serve as the settings in which environmental injustice flourishes. With that in
mind, Augsburg’s Environmental Studies program fosters the simultaneous study of ecological quality and social justice.
The program provides undergraduate training leading to a BA or a minor in Environmental Studies. Upon completion of
the program, students will be able to comprehend ecological processes, recognize the many and varied forms of nature
in the city, distinguish stakeholders’ interests in policy debates, decipher the context and variety of human experiences
in nature, identify inequities in the access to and use of natural resources, and articulate responses grounded in multiple
disciplinary insights to current urban environmental challenges. Drawing on their experiences in settings as diverse as
the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, the upper Mississippi River Valley, and Mexico, graduates of the program pursue
vocations in nonprofit organizations, government policy and planning positions, law and graduate school, education,
ministry, and corporate settings.

The Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies program provides students with the opportunity to examine critically
women’s contributions and experiences in various historical and cultural contexts. This is an inter-college program with
course offerings at Augsburg College, Hamline University, St. Catherine University, and the University of St. Thomas.
Courses are drawn from many disciplines and combine theoretical, practical, and research components that focus not
only on gender, but also acknowledge that race, class, and sexual identity are crucial aspects of women’s experiences.
The Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies program offers both a major and a minor, and provides students with
academic preparation for careers in human services, education, and social work as well as graduate study.

History
History is to society what memory is to an individual; it brings to a civilization an understanding of its identity. The
distinguished medievalist J.R. Strayer expressed it this way: “No community can survive and no institution can function
without constant reference to past experience. We are ruled by precedents fully as much as by laws, which is to say that
we are ruled by the collective memory of the past. It is the memory of common experiences that makes scattered
individuals into a community.”
The study of history enables us to deal more knowledgeably with continuity and change in society. The construction of
an informed sense of our past is a fundamental ingredient in appreciating and understanding the present as well as
anticipating the future. History majors are prepared to be active and contributing members of their society. The study of
history, which has long held a major role in the liberal arts, is an entry to elementary and secondary education, graduate
study in many fields, and a wide range of employment opportunities that require abilities in communication,

Honors Program – HON
Introduction
The Augsburg Honors Program offers an adventurous education where students with a passion for ideas can be their
best. We offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for students committed to an exceptional higher education.
Augsburg’s Honors Program is unlike any other honors program in the nation because it gives students the resources
and freedom to build their own ideal higher education. Students have the opportunity to create their own courses, edit
and write for the Honors Review of Undergraduate Scholarship, belong to an Honors House, and learn through small
reading groups, research projects, and travel around the world.
Each Honors course has been specifically created for Honors students, and includes a challenging “signature experience”
such as writing a play, putting great books on trial, or attending music, theater, and art performances. Honors courses
bring in professors from several different departments so students can learn from talented professors teaching their
specialties.
For information, contact the Honors Desk at honors@augsburg.edu, (612-330-1560) or Phil Adamo, Honors Program
director, at adamo@augsburg.edu.
Honors Program Recognition
Students who complete the Honors Program requirements receive special transcript notation, special graduation
recognition, résumé-building positions, and special access to academic advising and career options.
Honors Admission Requirements and Academic Scholarships
Students with a demonstrated record of achievement are eligible to enter the Augsburg Honors Program. Prospective
students may demonstrate achievement in a variety of ways. Most students who are admitted have a composite ACT
score of 27 or higher (or a combined SAT score of 1250 or higher), and a high school GPA of 3.50 or higher. However,
students without these numeric requirements may be eligible if they have exceptional records of extracurricular activity
or other exceptional experiences. All students are encouraged to apply. To apply, students should fill out the online
application at www.augsburg.edu/honors.
Students applying for the Honors Program also automatically apply for the College’s highest academic scholarships: the
President’s, Honors Regents’, International President’s, and Hanwick/Agre Scholarships.
Qualifying Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College in the Schools, and Postsecondary Option courses
may satisfy Honors Program requirements, and/or be granted College credit. Contact Academic Advising or the Honors
Program director for further information.
Students may enter the Honors Program at any point in their academic career, so long as they have the time left to
complete the 28 credits needed to satisfy the Honors requirements. This usually means by the start of their junior year.
All Honors students must complete the three required, 4-credit courses (HON 120, HON 130, and HON 490), and the
junior colloquium (HON 340).
Honors Program Requirements
All Honors student must complete the college’s General Education core requirements, including REL 100, REL 200,
ENL 111, and two Liberal Arts Foundation (LAF) courses in each of the four disciplinary areas (Humanities, Fine Arts,
Social and Behavioral Science, Natural Science and Mathematics). Unless exempt, Honors students must also fulfill
the foreign language and physical education requirements.
Some Honors courses, both required and elective, may also satisfy Gen Ed requirements. Students should use this
circumstance to their advantage where it helps them toward degree completion. For example, students may take
154
HON 100, HON 200, or HON 111 to fulfill the Gen Ed requirements met by REL 100, REL 200, or ENL 111,
respectively.
At the same time, exemption from certain Gen Ed requirements does not mean exemption from Honors
requirements. For example, students may be exempt from the Humanities LAF, but this does not make them exempt
from taking HON 130-Liberating Letters, which all Honors students must take, usually in their first year.
All Honors students must complete 28 credits in Honors to meet the Honors requirements for graduation.
Students may transfer up to 8 credits from another institution toward their total of 28 Augsburg Honors credits.
Transfer credits may come from AP, IB, PSEO, or other courses, through pre-established reciprocity agreements,
participation in a chapter of the PTK community college honors society, or a portfolio of leadership activities. All
transfer credits are subject to the approval of the Honors director. (This effectively means that some students may
only take 20 Honors credits at Augsburg.)
Honors Co-Curricular Activities
Honors Houses
All Honors students must belong to an Honors House for the purpose of receiving academic advising and program
information. All Honors students are required to attend mandatory meetings of the Honors Program or of their houses.
These meetings are necessary for advising, information, and governance. When students enter the Honors Program they
choose to join one of the four Honors Houses:
The Crockett Scholars House coordinates scholarship, research, fellowship, major award or prize opportunities, and
graduate school placement for all Honors students. Crockett House also organizes events related to scholarship,
such as College scholarship events.
The Pike Stewards House coordinates public relations, job placement, and fundraising opportunities for all Honors
students. Pike House also organizes events for alumni and fundraising.
The Griffin Citizens House coordinates recruiting, social activities, admission and scholarship applications, and the
Honors website opportunities for all Honors students. Griffin House also organizes events for recruiting and
socializing, such as banquets, parties, and high school recruiting trips.
The Hesser Servants House coordinates service-learning, social justice, experiential learning, and political activity
opportunities for all Honors students. Hesser House also organizes related events, such as Honors service days and
Augsburg experiences.
Augsburg Honors Review
Students manage, edit, write, and publish an interdisciplinary journal of undergraduate scholarship. The Review accepts
submissions from students at Augsburg and other colleges and universities around the nation.
Student Leadership Opportunities
Students elected to leadership within their Honors House may serve as house presidents or serve in other program
leadership positions. The house presidents sit on the Honors Student Presidents Council and make critical decisions
about program courses and resources.
Student-Created Learning Experiences (SCLE)
Honors students may learn through established courses or through student-created learning experiences. These
student-created experiences may substitute for Honors curricular requirements, or may simply enrich a student’s
education. Such student created experiences may count toward requirements in majors and satisfy Honors
requirements, or simply be an elective course.
Student-created learning experiences may take almost any form. Some possible forms include:
Student-created courses (created in collaboration with faculty)
Full course (10-20 students)
155
Reading Groups (29 students)
Individual Reading and Examination (individual study)
Student/Faculty Research (may be one or many students)
Process: A student-created learning experience may be proposed by any Honors student or by any Augsburg faculty or
staff person. The interested student should speak with either an Honors Council member or the Honors Program
director. Next, a proposal should be drafted in accord with the Honors student-created learning experience form. Finally,
the proposal should be submitted by the student to the Honors Program director who will carry the proposal to the
Honors Council for review.

Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinary Studies programs draw upon and combine coursework from multiple academic disciplines to provide
both broad perspective and in-depth focus on an area of study. Through interdisciplinary programs and courses,
students can gain greater insight and understanding of cultures and perspectives different from their own. Augsburg
offers a number of majors that are interdisciplinary in nature. They include:
American Indian Studies
Environmental Studies
Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (ACTC)
International Relations
Urban Studies
Information about these majors and their requirements can be found in their respective departmental pages. Other
interdisciplinary course offerings are listed under International Programs.
Culture and Social Justice Minor
The Culture and Social Justice minor is an interdisciplinary program committed to engaging students with the histories,
struggles, knowledge, and agency of marginalized groups throughout our global society. Drawing on the diversity of
current and past voices from the Augsburg neighborhood, the minor connects local and national efforts to larger global
struggles for justice. The program explores the interplay of experiences that form and reform the current landscapes of
globalization, including Indigenous origins, diaspora, immigration, the impact of colonialism, postcolonialism, and
neocolonialism, cross-cultural and multicultural integration, and cultural thrivance. The interdisciplinary character of this
minor helps students develop professional skills for working across cultures and disciplinary audiences, enhances writing
and speaking skills for multicultural audiences, and provides preparation for the increasingly diverse and globalized
marketplace.

International Relations
International Relations is an interdisciplinary major which provides students with the basis for informed global
citizenship, preparing them for graduate study or careers in foreign service, nonprofit organizations, or international
business. The student may focus on a discipline or geographic area of the world. The program consists of a core of seven
courses and six electives chosen from a wide list of offerings at Augsburg and other colleges. Students are encouraged to
consider foreign study opportunities; most of our majors do study abroad at some point during their time at Augsburg.
Competency in one foreign language is required, and some students study two languages. All majors complete a
significant senior research project and thesis on a topic of their own choosing, such as immigration, conflict resolution,
economic development, or climate change.
The goal of the program is to give students a broad exposure to international studies with considerable freedom to
choose options for specialization. Students often combine this major with a second major in History, Political Science,
International Business, or a foreign language. Numerous combinations of majors and minors are possible with the
international relations major.

Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies
The Department of Languages and Cross-Cultural Studies at Augsburg College contributes in many ways to realizing the
College’s mission of providing liberal arts education for service in today’s world. The department is committed to the
view that education should go beyond career preparation and that familiarity with the language and culture of another
people is an essential step in the development of a truly global perspective.
The department offers language, literature, and culture courses leading to majors in French, German, and Spanish, as
well as an interdisciplinary major in Cross-Cultural Studies. Introductory courses in Latin, Norwegian, Ojibwe, Farsi, and
American Sign Language are offered at Augsburg, and courses in Ancient Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and
Portuguese are available to Augsburg students through Augsburg’s four partner-institutions in the Associated Colleges of
the Twin Cities (ACTC) consortium.
Knowledge of several languages, perhaps combined with the study of linguistics, is essential in preparing for careers in
second-language education and translation, but also represents a valuable special qualification in many other
professions. Students anticipating careers in international business, law, social work, the diplomatic corps, the health
professions, or the ministry may wish to take a second major or minor in languages. In addition, a minor in languages is a
valuable research tool for those intending to pursue graduate study in most academic disciplines.

Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of structure and relationships and provides tools for solving a wide variety of problems.
Mathematical language describes our world from the perspectives of the natural, physical, and social sciences. Engaging
in mathematical thinking helps strengthen the problem solving and quantitative reasoning skills that are increasingly
expected of every member of contemporary society. Moreover, as mathematics has had a formative impact on the
development of civilization, it is an important part of a liberal arts education.
Students majoring in Mathematics acquire the skills necessary to serve society through a variety of careers. In addition
to acquiring computational and problem solving skills, Mathematics majors at Augsburg develop their abilities to reason
abstractly; to conjecture, critique, and justify their assertions; to formulate questions; to investigate open-ended
problems; to read and comprehend precise mathematical writing; to speak and write about mathematical ideas; and to
experience working in teams on mathematical projects. Students can prepare for graduate school, for work in business,
industry, or nonprofit organizations, or for teaching mathematics in grades K-12. Students majoring in many disciplines
find it helpful to acquire a minor or a second major in Mathematics.
Students may choose coursework supporting the study of Mathematics as a liberal art (through the BA degree) or
choose a more focused program of courses (through the BS degree). BS focus areas include theoretical mathematics,
statistics, teaching mathematics, and the application of mathematics to science and engineering, actuarial science,
computing, business, or economics. Augsburg’s urban location allows students to gain experience working with
mathematics through internships, service learning, and the colloquium course. Augsburg students can also choose to
complete a major in Actuarial Science at University of St. Thomas, offered through ACTC.

Math Placement Group (MPG)
Before enrolling in any Mathematics course and many other courses that have Math Placement prerequisites, students
must have the required Math Placement. All students are required to have their Math Placement Group (MPG)
determined. MPG measures student’s current skill in and understanding of Basic Math (MPG 2), Algebra (MPG 3),
Precalculus (MPG 4), and Calculus I (MPG 5).
Students who have taken the ACT test within the last five years are assigned an initial MPG based on their mathematics
subscore, illustrated below. Students who have recently completed a mathematics course at another college or
university are assigned an initial MPG by the Registrar’s Office as part of Transfer Credit Evaluation, if the course covers
Basic Math, Algebra, Precalculus, or Calculus. Students who receive a grade of 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement Exam
in Calculus (AB or BC) are assigned MPG 5. Students are allowed to take the Math Placement Exam to determine if they
should be placed into a higher MPG than their initial placement. In particular, students whose initial placement is MPG
1 or MPG 2 are expected to take the Math Placement Exam.
All other students must take the Augsburg Math Placement Exam, which is administered by Academic Advising. The
exam is given during Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR) sessions for first-year students, and before new
student registration appointments for transfer and AU students. Other times can be scheduled on an individual basis.
Students are also permitted to retake the Math Placement Exam once during their first semester of enrollment at
Augsburg College.
Practice questions and other information are available from Academic Advising. Students in MPG 1 take MAT 103 to
advance to MPG 2. Students in MPG 2 take MAT 105 to advance to MPG 3. Students in MPG 3 may take MAT 114 to
advance to MPG 4. No other MAT course changes a student’s MPG.

Medieval Studies
The objective of Medieval Studies is to introduce students to the culture of the Middle Ages—its diverse history and
beliefs, its arts and literature—and to the disciplinary and interdisciplinary skills necessary for its serious study.
The major in Medieval Studies fulfills the original (medieval) ideal of a liberal arts education. Since the study of the
liberal arts was developed in the Middle Ages, students majoring in Medieval Studies find a model context for the
pursuit of a liberal arts degree in the modern world.
As was the case in medieval universities, Augsburg’s major in Medieval Studies prepares students for life beyond college.
Because of its emphasis on precise reading and analysis of texts, careful writing, and spirited discussion, the major in
Medieval Studies offers a solid foundation for graduate or professional study, as well as employment opportunities that
require abilities in communication, critical and abstract thinking, and processing information.

(e.g. Spanish, French, German, Norwegian, Arabic; NOT American Sign Language). This second language will fulfill the
Modern Language Core Skills requirement.
Augsburg Experience
As with all majors, an Augsburg Experience is required for graduation. For the Medieval Studies major this might include
study abroad, or internships at the University of Minnesota’s Rare Books Collection, the Hill Monastic Manuscript
Library, or the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Prior approval of advisor is required for all Augsburg Experiences related
to Medieval Studies.
Minor
Five courses, including HUM 120. The remaining four courses must be in different disciplines, as grouped above (history,
literature, religion/philosophy, and history of arts).
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.

Music
The Music Department at Augsburg College offers professional music training in the context of a liberal arts curriculum
through three degrees and five music majors. It also offers a variety of music courses and ensemble experiences that are
available to non-music majors, and meet Augsburg’s Liberal Arts Foundation requirements.
Augsburg’s location in the heart of a major artistic center makes it an ideal place to study music, and the Music faculty
seek and encourage opportunities that connect the campus and the greater arts communities. These opportunities allow
students to explore the links between theory and applied knowledge and may take many forms, including internships;
community performances; Music Therapy practica; community-based learning projects; required off-campus
performance and concert attendance assignments; or travel and study within and outside the United States.
The Music Department is an institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the
American Music Therapy Association (AMTA).

by completing extended original work in their area of interest. Such work could include, but is not limited to, one of the
following: defending a senior thesis, presenting an additional recital, composing a substantial piece(s), conducting a
program, presenting a research paper, or some combination of any of the above.
Consideration for departmental honors requires a clearly written proposal that includes a project title, a transcript, and
a brief music résumé to be submitted to the music faculty by November 1 of the senior year with outlined plans to
complete the project by spring break of the senior year.
Piano Proficiency
All Augsburg Music majors are required to have basic piano skills that are either demonstrated by passing MUS 238 or by
meeting the standard required by the Piano Proficiency Test offered at the end of each semester. Students come to
Augsburg with a wide variety of prior training and experience in piano, and therefore can elect to develop their piano
skills and prepare for the proficiency test in several ways. Students with extensive training may be able to simply pass
the test; those with some training may register for private piano lessons; the majority of students are advised to take a
piano placement test that determines their appropriate placement within a sequence of four class piano courses (MUS
135/136/237/238) designed to teach the skills of the piano proficiency test. To maximize student learning, it is strongly
recommended that piano training is started during the first year, when piano study will complement and strengthen the
student’s experience in the music theory and aural skills curriculum. Consult the Music Student Handbook for piano
major and non-piano major requirements and test dates.
183
Music Repertoire Tests
These four tests are intended to encourage students to become lifelong listeners by requiring students to familiarize
themselves with many of the masterpieces of the classical music repertory from the Middle Ages to today. Consult the
Music Student Handbook for the lists of pieces required by all four repertoire tests and the call numbers for the
repertoire test CDs at Lindell Library. Each academic year a specific repertoire test is offered twice: once at the end of
the fall semester, and again at the end of the spring semester. Music majors are required to pass three music repertoire
tests, transfer students must pass two, and Music minors must pass one.

Nursing (BSN) Bachelor of Science Completion
The Augsburg College BSN Completion program is designed exclusively for registered nurses who want to advance their
education, increase their career opportunities, and address changing health needs in a variety of rapidly changing care
settings and communities. No longer do nurses practice only in hospitals, they are moving into communities,
corporations, parishes, schools, rehabilitation centers and long term care facilities, as well as into their own private
practices. Wherever they work, nurses are making a difference in community health and well-being by providing
comprehensive health care for diverse groups of persons across the lifespan.
The BSN program at Augsburg prepares nurses to synthesize knowledge from the liberal arts with the art and science of
nursing. Educational opportunities are provided that challenge students’ interests and engage their creativity as they
increase skills in critical thinking, speaking, writing, ethics, nursing theories, community assessment, leadership,
decision-making and the role of citizen nurse. Classes that combine short-term immersion experiences of study both at
home and abroad are woven into the BSN curriculum. Students are invited to participate in these exciting endeavors as
they are able.
Augsburg’s BSN program is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Graduates of the
program are eligible to apply for a public health nurse registration certificate through the Minnesota State Board of
Nursing.

nursing major at Augsburg must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill
each of these graduation skills.
188
Other Information
The BSN program has been planned so that courses in the nursing major can be completed over 16 months of full-time
study taking two courses per semester. Students can pursue their studies as quickly as 12 months taking three courses
per semester, based on personal choice. Students will be assigned to a nursing faculty adviser to develop a plan of study.
More time may be required to complete the total course of study depending on the number of liberal arts (general
education) courses individual students need to complete the BSN degree and the number of credits each student
transfers to Augsburg College from other colleges or universities. Students in Nursing may take non-nursing courses in
both the Day and Adult Undergraduate programs. Students interested in pursuing the Nursing major should consult with
BSN admissions staff in the Admissions Office for assistance applying.
Admission to the Nursing Major
In addition to meeting admission requirements for Augsburg College, admission to the Nursing major requires the
following:
Completed application
Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in one’s basic nursing program
Unencumbered RN license–applicant must be a registered nurse who is licensed and currently registered to practice
in Minnesota prior to beginning the Nursing major
Evidence of HIPAA training
Up-to-date immunization records
Criminal background check (details provided in application process)
Special conditions:
Students may be provisionally admitted to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Augsburg due to a
cumulative GPA of less than 2.5 in their basic nursing program. Full admission to the program requires students to
achieve a GPA of 3.00 or better in two liberal arts courses at Augsburg before being fully admitted to the BSN
program.
Students may apply to Augsburg College prior to completion of their degree program. However, all BSN program
admission requirements must be met prior to matriculating into the BSN program at Augsburg.
Credit for Previous Nursing Courses
Registered nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN completion program will be granted 28 semester
credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework if the following standards are met:
Prior nursing education in the United States is taken in an associate degree in nursing (ADN) program or a diploma in
nursing program. Both must be state board-approved programs.
Nursing coursework taken outside of the United States is submitted for evaluation to the World Education Services
(WES), an agency approved by Augsburg College to evaluate foreign transcripts. Reports should be sent directly to
Augsburg College. In addition, nursing coursework must be verified for authenticity by the Commission on Graduates
of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS). Applicants must request CGFNS (www.cgfns.org) to forward the educational
credentials report to the Minnesota State Board of Nursing. Once their credentials are verified, applicants must
apply for licensure and demonstrate successful passing of the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX).
Nurses who have previously submitted CGFNS credential verification in a state other than Minnesota, and who have
passed the NCLEX, will be considered for admission and must meet the same residency requirements expected of all
students.
Students who change their major and transfer out of the BSN completion program will lose the 28 semester credit block
grant and their transfer credit evaluation will be reassessed. The 28 semester credit block grant will be applied toward a
Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing only.
*Beginning Summer 2017, registered nurses (RNs) transferring into Augsburg College’s BSN completion program will be
awarded up to 34 semester credits in recognition of their previous lower division nursing coursework
189
Options for Completing the Degree
Augsburg recognizes that nurses have a variety of time schedules, personal responsibilities, and work demands that
must be taken into account in any decision to work toward a college degree. For this reason, Augsburg offers full- and
part-time sequential alternatives for pursuing a Nursing degree.
Courses in the Nursing major are generally offered on weekday evenings with practicum courses (NUR 410 and 411)
requiring additional weekday time. Generally, nursing classes meet on alternate weekday evenings for four-hour time
blocks. Online instruction and activities occur between face-to-face class times. Optional immersion courses and
practicums at home and abroad are scheduled throughout the year. Check with the Department of Nursing for details.
It is recommended to work with an academic advisor for advice on liberal arts courses. Nursing majors can complete
courses toward the bachelor’s degree at the Minneapolis campus and at the Rochester learning site.
Transfer of Upper Division Nursing Courses
BSN students who are provisionally accepted into the Master of Arts in Nursing program at Augsburg may enroll in up to
three designated MAN courses, which can be used to fulfill elective credits in the BSN program as well as fulfill credits in
the MAN program. Note that these graduate courses may not transfer into another college or university as graduate
courses if they have been used to complete the BSN; Augsburg College, however, accepts the courses as also fulfilling
requirements in the MAN. The three graduate Nursing courses plus the practica include the following:
NUR 500 - Transcultural Health Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 500P - Practicum: Transcultural Health Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 532 - Transcultural Healing and Self Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 532P - Practicum: Transcultural Healing Practices and Self Care (1 semester credit)
NUR 541 - The Politics of Health Care (3 semester credits)
NUR 541P - Practicum: Politics of Health Care (1 semester credit)
(see current class schedule for practicum offerings)
Note: Students who decelerate for more than five years may be asked to audit courses already taken. There is a fee to
audit courses.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the honors major requires a GPA of at least 3.60 in the major and 3.30 overall, application to the
department chair by November 1 of the senior year, recommendation by nursing faculty, and an honors thesis to be
presented before a faculty committee by April 15. Candidates register for NUR 499 to complete the honors requirement.

Philosophy
Philosophy, in an important sense, is the most fundamental of the disciplines. All sciences and most other disciplines
arose out of it. Moreover, philosophy is concerned with asking and answering the “big” questions that are the most
basic. For example: Is there a God? Is there life after death? Are there absolute moral standards? What kind of life is the
best? What is knowledge and what are its sources?
Students learn to ask and answer these and other similar questions for themselves through the development and use of
critical reasoning, assisted by the study of philosophers from the past and present.
The Philosophy major has been carefully planned so that students can easily graduate with two majors. Some Philosophy
majors continue on to graduate school in philosophy, while others use the major to prepare for other professional
studies such as law, medicine, religious ministry, or journalism.
Philosophy Faculty

Degree and Major Requirements
Philosophy Major
Eight courses including:
PHI 230 - Logic
or PHI 385 - Formal Logic and Computation Theory
PHI 241 - History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy
PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
PHI 343 - History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy
PHI 344 - History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy
A 400-level Philosophy course (other than PHI 499)
Two elective courses in Philosophy
Four courses must be upper division
Note: The Philosophy department at present does not offer a keystone PHI 499 course of its own. We recommend that
majors take the keystone course offered in the Religion Department, or (in the case of double majors) in the department
of the other major.
Graduation Skills
Graduation skills in Critical Thinking (CT), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) are embedded throughout the offered courses
and are met by completing the major. The Quantitative Reasoning (QR) graduation skill can be met by taking PHI 230.
Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements to fulfill each of
these skills.
Language requirement
The Philosophy Department has no specific language requirement besides the one of the College, but it recommends for
Philosophy majors Greek, Latin, French, or German, at the discretion of the faculty advisor.
Major in Computational Philosophy
In addition to a major and minor in Philosophy, the Philosophy department also offers a cross-disciplinary major in
conjunction with the Computer Science department emphasizing areas of interest in which philosophy and computer
science overlap: logic, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The
purpose of the major is to augment the technical skills of a computer scientist with the creativity and liberal arts
191
perspective of a philosopher. The result is a degree that is very marketable in industry and that provides an excellent
logical and philosophical background for those wishing to pursue graduate study in philosophy. See Computer Science
for more information.
Departmental Honors
Admission to the Philosophy honors program is by recommendation of the Philosophy faculty. Such recommendations
will be made at the end of the junior year. The program will consist of an honors thesis on an approved topic of the
student’s choice that involves research above the course level, and a defense of this thesis before the faculty of the
department.
Philosophy Minor
Five courses, including two from:
PHI 241 - History of Philosophy I: Ancient Greek Philosophy
PHI 242 - History of Philosophy II: Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
PHI 343 - History of Philosophy III: Early Modern and 19th-Century Philosophy
PHI 344 - History of Philosophy IV: 20th-21st Century Philosophy

Physics
Physicists are a curious and ambitious lot. Their aim is to understand the fundamental principles that describe and
govern all physical aspects of the universe. Historically called “natural philosophers,” physicists investigate by means of
controlled experimentation and mathematical analysis. Physics includes the study of systems ranging from sub-atomic
particles to the largest galaxies and from the relative stillness of near absolute zero to the fiery activity of stars. Physics
plays an important role in many of the liberal arts disciplines and contributes to society’s understanding of such areas as
energy, weather, medical science, and space exploration. A good background in physics (and the associated problem
solving skills obtained therein) will prepare you well for a multitude of careers.
Recognizing the importance of physics in contemporary life and the need to keep abreast of rapid technological
advances, the department strives to give students not only an understanding of basic concepts, but also insights into
recent developments. A rigorous major provides students with the preparation required for graduate study in physics. It
also provides flexibility, serving as a stepping stone to advanced work in related areas such as astronomy, engineering,
materials science, atmospheric science and meteorology, oceanography, biophysics, environmental science, and the
medical and health-related fields. The department serves the liberal arts by offering courses for non-science students
that enable them to attain a general understanding of a particular area of science. These courses provide the basis for
further study and enable students to follow new developments in science with heightened awareness and
comprehension.
The department administers Augsburg College’s portion of funds designated for the Minnesota Space Grant College
Consortium, funded by NASA. It also maintains active research programs through its Center for Atmospheric and Space
Sciences and the Sverdrup Laboratory for Biophysics, with support from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and
other private and public sources. Several students work as research assistants in these efforts during the academic year
and in the summer. Cooperative education, internship, and undergraduate research programs provide opportunities for
students to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills in practical situations in industrial, governmental, and
academic settings.

Political Science
Political Science at Augsburg College helps prepare you for many things: political engagement, pursuit of an advanced
degree, a successful career. Political science focuses on the role of power and authority in human affairs, something
relevant to any field you might choose. Understanding power and authority is also necessary for anyone interested in
political and social change.
The major prepares you for many options after graduation, including law school, or graduate work in areas such as
political science, public administration, and public policy. Our majors have gone on to work in government, business,
communications, the non-profit sector, and education, and numerous other fields.
Internships are within easy reach of the campus, because of our location in the heart of the Twin Cities metro area.
Grounded in the diverse and international community around Augsburg, the department directly engages the world and
issues around us.
Numerous study abroad programs are also available, as well as learning opportunities throughout the country. The
Model UN program, which travels annually to New York, is a highlight for many students. Our majors experience an
education which can extend from the classroom to the surrounding community to places around the world.
Our experienced faculty teach in all major areas of political science, and also possess special expertise in campaigns and
elections, immigration and ethnic politics, urban and environmental politics, gender and politics, economic
development, comparative and international politics, mass communications and other information technology, and
American public law. Our broad, balanced, and flexible course offerings, combined with the many special educational
opportunities, enhance your potential for graduate study and a successful career.

Psychology
Psychology is an exploration of behavior and mental processes. As an integral part of a liberal arts education, psychology
contributes to the understanding of individual and group behavior. The study of psychology equips students to
understand and use the scientific method to think creatively and critically beyond the classroom. To prepare students
for graduate study and work in psychology, the major emphasizes the complementary components of a strong
foundation in research and theoretical work with the application of knowledge and skills in coursework, research
experiences, and internships within the community. The curriculum’s emphasis on the experiential dimensions of
learning and the integration of liberal arts and professional domains prepares students for careers in many settings
including business, education, social services, research, law, government, religious institutions, and medicine.
Faculty members in the Department of Psychology have varied professional specializations including clinical, counseling,
physiological, developmental, social, cognitive, and industrial/organizational psychology as well as expertise in
psychological applications to health, law, and public policy. Students may tap this expertise through a variety of learning
experiences including group and individual projects, Psi Chi Honor Society, and faculty-student research teams.

Religion, Youth and Family Ministry
Religion – everyone has a notion of what it is. But try to define it, and words get tangled in the varieties of religious
expressions, systems, and cultures. Personal perspectives and experiences also come into play. They create different and
even conflicting opinions about the value and place of religion in the 21 century.
st
But while religion is deeply personal, it is seldom private. It impacts everyone, from the most committed believer to the
most convinced atheist. Because of the significance of religion in the public sphere, the guiding theme of the Religion
Department at Augsburg College is “Religion and Public Life”. We welcome all students to explore the role of religion:
In their own lives by asking how their beliefs, values, and commitments inform their place in society;
When considering their own career choices in service to the world through religious institutions and organizations;
To gain knowledge and competency in relating to the religious beliefs, practices, and cultures of others whom they
will engage in their future professional and social contexts;
For a deeper understanding of religion’s impact – past and present – in the world they inhabit.
All these avenues of exploring religion in public life express Augsburg’s mission to educate students “…to be informed
citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.” In addition, the department’s commitment both
to students and to working for justice in the world reflects the College’s history and its ongoing engagement with the
faith and values of the Lutheran church. As a part of its work, faculty in the Religion Department guide students to
explore and articulate their beliefs and to discern their calling to work for the common good in all aspects of life. Since
the religion major requires only eight courses (32 credits), students should consider earning a major or minor in another
discipline. Those students considering seminary or graduate studies should take one sacred texts course, one theology
or history course, and one course in global religions. The Religion major prepares students to think critically, read
analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our graduates attractive to graduate schools and
employers.
Faculty
Mary Lowe (Chair), Lori Brandt Hale, Russell Kleckley, Matthew Maruggi, Jeremy Myers, Philip Quanbeck II, Marty Stortz,
Mark Tranvik, and Hans Wiersma
Majors
The Religion Department offers two majors: Religion (REL) and Youth and Family Ministry (YFM).
Prerequisites
REL 100 is a prerequisite to all other courses.
Transfer Courses
All transfer courses for majors and minors, including ACTC courses, must be approved in writing by the chair. Only
courses successfully completed (2.0 or above) within the last 10 years will be considered. In general, courses that meet
the transfer guidelines may only be applied to elective credit for the major.
Advising
All majors must have an advisor in the department.
Departmental Honors
GPA of 3.50 in the major and 3.00 overall, research project approved by the department, and colloquium with the
department. Application must be received by the department by December 30 of the student’s senior year.
206
Religion
A Religion major provides a strong foundation in the liberal arts and prepares students for professional work and
graduate studies in a wide range of fields. Since the major requires only eight courses (32 credits), students are
encouraged to double-major in a related field. Students considering seminary should take two Bible courses and one
course in theology or church history. Students planning on graduate studies in religion ought to complete one Bible
course, a world religions course, and the Philosophy of Religion course. A Religion major also provides strong
preparation for graduate studies in theology, religious studies, sacred scripture, church history, and related fields. The
major prepares students to think critically, read analytically, write clearly, and speak confidently—skills that make our
graduates attractive to graduate schools.

Social Work
Professional social work is for students who have the desire to better the lives of people. Social work is for students who
want to learn the skills necessary for a successful and satisfying career for themselves and the lifelong benefit of working
with colleagues who also love their work. Our accredited program will immerse you in the skills and theories of social
work and interweave that body of knowledge with the liberal arts, psychology, sociology, economics, statistics, and
political science. The curriculum will prepare you for internships in a range of human service agencies including, schools,
hospitals, community centers, food shelves, women’s centers and a number of other settings in your junior and senior
year. The BSW program believes in social justice and teaches students how to engage the system to achieve it. The
program addresses multicultural professional practice through a required course.
The bachelor of social work degree awarded will allow you to be successful in your chosen areas of social work practice
and prepared to work in multicultural settings. Students graduating with a Social Work major will receive a Bachelor of
Science degree in social work and are eligible to apply for licensure as a generalist social worker. Over ninety-five
percent pass the exam on their first attempt.
Students interested in a graduate degree in social work (MSW) are encouraged to apply to our Master of Social Work
program. The undergraduate degree provides transferable credits toward the foundation year of an MSW program,
reducing the number of credits needed. Both the undergraduate and graduate Social Work programs are accredited by
the Council on Social Work Education. For more information about the MSW program, consult the Graduate Catalog.

Social Work Study Abroad Opportunities
The Augsburg BSW program is a leader in international education for its students. All majors are encouraged to study
abroad at some point in their college career. Through The Center for Global Education, the BSW program offers an
award-winning semester study abroad program in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Students in the spring semester of their junior
year study social work in Mexico and finish their degrees on time. The Social Work department also offers a rotating
selection of faculty-led, short courses to countries such as China, Slovenian, South Africa and India.
Social Work Course Sequence
Social Work Entry Level Courses
The Social Work major offers three ways to begin the BSW degree: SWK 100 is for those students interested in the
breath of the profession; SWK 210 is for students whose interest is in environmental issues and social change strategies;
and SWK 230 is for students interested in international social work and global issues. All three courses are equal as
introductions to the major.
All three courses feature an experiential learning component. Students volunteer 40 hours in a human service agency,
program, or institution. The placement is selected by the student, approved by the course instructor, and supervised by
agency staff. These courses are also open to non-majors. The department also offers a course in human diversity, SWK
280, which is to be taken after the entry level courses.
Social Work upper level courses (300s and 400s) are taught in a two-year sequence. Courses are taught once a year. The
senior keystone is SWK 417: Field Work 4: Integrative Seminar. Consult the BSW Program Manual for the degree courseschedule flowchart.
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.
213
Sociology
Sociology is the scientific study of society and social interaction in groups. Our examination of human social organization
provides the opportunity to improve the world we have created and in which we live. The sociological perspective
provides an important way to critically understand how human beings come to think and act as they do in a variety of
social contexts.
The goal of the Department is to guide students in gaining knowledge of social processes and the social order, how it
affects them in their daily lives, and how it can be applied to their lives and vocations. Sociology majors develop an
understanding of the theories of society and social groups, learn to create and use scientific tools of analysis, and
practice the application of sociological concepts to the solution of social problems.
The Department urges students to use Augsburg’s metropolitan and international settings as a laboratory for learning.
Internships enable majors to apply the theories and research skills of sociology while they explore career alternatives.
Students also may take an independent study, special topics course, or field study toward that end.
The major in Sociology has equipped our alumni to understand and function more effectively in the social world as
professionals, citizens, and persons, providing the necessary knowledge base and analytical, writing, and critical thinking
skills. Augsburg alumni who have majored in Sociology are currently employed in the nonprofit sector, research
positions, human resources positions in both government and private corporations, the criminal justice field, and as
professors of sociology. Others have used the major as preparation for advanced study in areas such as law, human
services, social work, urban planning, and the ministry.

Degree and Major Requirements
Sociology Major
Sociology has a long-standing tradition as an excellent undergraduate major that applies to a number of fields from
human services to criminal justice to business to public service. The foundation of the major at Augsburg is that it
provides a clearly organized curriculum that is challenging, develops over the course of the major, and integrates and
reinforces a challenging set of important skills; those skills include abstract thinking, writing, critical analysis, basic
research, integration of theory and data, and the connection of the individual and collective perspectives in the unique
way of the sociological imagination. The five core courses intentionally develop those skills in our students. The electives
allow students to choose courses that add other skills related to areas of career interest.
The major includes a total of 10 courses: five required core courses and five electives, at least three of which are upper
division courses from the specified list below:
Core courses:
SOC 121 - Introduction to Sociology
SOC 362 - Statistical Analysis
SOC 363 - Research Methods
SOC 485 - Sociological Theory
SOC 490 - Senior Seminar and Keystone
Electives courses:
Five SOC electives, at least three of which must be upper division courses (Prerequisite: SOC 121).
Note: Majors must have a 2.0 or higher in each required course (SOC 121, 362, 363, 485, and 490) to receive credit in
the major, and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the major.
214
Graduation Skills
The Critical Thinking (CT), Quantitative Reasoning (QR), Speaking (S), and Writing (W) graduation skills are embedded
throughout the offered courses and are met by completing the major.
Transfer students must consult an advisor about potential adjustments to their course requirements.
Interest Tracks
In order to focus preparation for careers and further study, the Department offers interest tracks within the major.
These interest tracks are: City and Community; Crime and Deviance; Law; Organizations; and Social Psychology. Interest
tracks guide majors in selecting elective courses in a way that tailors their sociological training, experiences and skills.
Working with an advisor and following the guidelines and recommendations provided at the links below, Sociology
majors can design a pathway through the major that directs them toward careers or graduate work in criminal justice,
law, organizational development, public relations, social services, and urban studies.
Students who are interested in pursuing an interest track should discuss this with their advisor or the Sociology
Department chair. A full description of each interest track may be found at the Sociology Department website,
www.augsburg.edu/sociology.
Teaching Licensure Major
The State of Minnesota has specific licensing requirements for teachers that may differ slightly in emphasis from the
Augsburg major requirements. The state requirements may also be subject to change after publication of this catalog.
Students therefore should consult with the Augsburg Department of Education to identify current Minnesota teacher
licensure requirements.
Departmental Honors
To complete departmental honors in Sociology, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major and overall.
See department chair and website for specific requirements. An application for departmental honors/graduation with
distinction must be completed by spring of the junior year.
Minor
Five courses including SOC 121 and at least two upper division courses taken at Augsburg College. Students are required
to have a 2.0 or higher in SOC 121 and at least a cumulative 2.00 GPA in courses counting toward the minor.
For a complete list of courses and descriptions, see the Course Description Search.
215
Theater
Theater is an ever-changing field that is important to understand in cultural and societal context. In our courses,
productions, recitals, and artist series, the study of theater embraces both classical and new forms, examines global and
local perspectives, and encourages in-depth creative exploration. Students are challenged to deepen their critical
thinking abilities and to master professional skills while also exploring new approaches to theater through their studies
in design, directing, performing, and playwriting. Students thoughtfully interrogate issues of cultural representation and
diversity as they find and express their own creative visions. The program prepares them well to continue with their
education and/or to become leaders in the field of theater and performance studies.
The study of theater is firmly grounded in the liberal arts, integrating knowledge and principles from many academic and
artistic disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, religion, speech, art, music, and dance. Both the high quality
curriculum and dramatic productions of our department offer valuable cross-disciplinary connections for students and
the campus, while providing a solid base in classical, modern, contemporary, and multicultural theater. In order to
encourage non-majors to become involved in our department, we offer six theater minors and welcome all Augsburg
students to become involved in our productions.
Augsburg’s location in the heart of a nationally recognized theater community makes it an ideal place to study theater.
At Augsburg we seek to create every opportunity for students to grow both as theater artists and scholars by
encouraging connections between our campus and the greater arts community, while also exploring connections
between theory and application. Students have the opportunity to make these connections through course study,
theatrical production work, participation in the Artist Series (an annual series of events featuring visiting theater
professionals from the local community who work closely with students), and attendance at numerous professional
productions throughout the Twin Cities. Augsburg productions are a valuable opportunity for students to enter into
creative collaboration with faculty and professional artists-in-residence. We value and regard theater productions as a
critical and vital laboratory for student learning and training, and we hold our productions to the highest standards of
the profession.
Many of the skills acquired by Theater majors or minors are valuable and transferable to other professions:
collaboration, verbal and nonverbal communication, organization, critical thinking, leadership, creativity, and selfexpression. Involvement in theater can help prepare students for successful careers in law, education, business,
communication, journalism, and many other fields, as well as in professional or academic theater, television, or film.

Urban Studies
Urban Studies is the study of cities as social, political, economic, and cultural entities. Urban Studies brings many
different perspectives to the study of urban life. It is an interdisciplinary major where students use the tools of sociology,
political science, history, environmental studies, art and architecture to understand metropolitan areas in terms of
complex relationships that contribute to opportunities and challenges. The major is designed with experiences that
utilize the city as our classroom, demonstrating the interplay of urban design, policy, and lived experience. Coursework
often includes walking tours, field trips, and field research. Augsburg College’s Urban Studies program emphasizes the
themes of planning urban and suburban areas to be more environmentally sustainable, promoting the health and civic
engagement of citizens, and ways to engage in effective citizen engagement.
The Urban Studies major helps prepare students for careers and graduate work in community organizing, urban
planning, public administration, environmental advocacy and sustainability planning, government service, social welfare
and non-profit work, and architecture. All students participate in internships that reflect their career interests as part of
their experience.
Many students who major in Urban Studies often double-major in related disciplines such as Environmental Studies,
Political Science or Sociology. If you’re interested in double-majoring, please consult the director of Urban Studies about
how to best plan your academic schedule to accommodate both majors.

A Greeting from the President
A college catalog is a wonderful text, full of detail and data that offer all of us a map to our lives together as a college
community. This is a map grounded in Augsburg’s mission: “To educate students to be informed citizens, thoughtful
stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.”

several years.
If you are studying this map to find out more about Augsburg College and an Augsburg education, welcome. I believe
you will find it not only tells you about the character and essence of our institution, but also about our mission of

About Augsburg
At Augsburg College, we believe that the college experience should be a time of exploration, of discovery, of new
experiences, and of new possibilities. We also believe that a liberal arts education is the best preparation for living in the
fast-paced, changing, and complex world of today and tomorrow. Augsburg graduates will be able to demonstrate not
only the mastery of a major field of study, but also the ability to think critically, solve problems, and communicate
effectively.
Discovering Your Gifts and Talents
The heart of an Augsburg undergraduate education is the Augsburg Core Curriculum—designed to prepare students to
become effective, informed, and ethical citizens. Through “Search for Meaning” courses, students explore their own
unique gifts and interests and find where their own talents intersect with the needs of our global society.
At the same time, courses across all disciplines stress the skills that will serve for a lifetime: writing, speaking, critical
thinking, and quantitative reasoning, to name a few.
Thanks to Augsburg’s prime locations in the heart of thriving metropolitan areas, many courses are able to offer rich and
varied learning opportunities in real-life situations through academic internships, experiential education, volunteer
community service, and cultural enrichment. In a sense, the resources of the Twin Cities and Rochester are extended
campuses for Augsburg students.
Mission Statement
Students who graduate from Augsburg are well prepared to make a difference in the world. They stand as
testaments to the College motto, “Education for Service,” and mission:
Augsburg College educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible
leaders. The Augsburg experience is supported by an engaged community that is committed to intentional diversity
in its life and work. An Augsburg education is defined by excellence in the liberal arts and professional studies,
guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, and shaped by its urban and global settings.
History
A College of the Church
Augsburg was the first seminary founded by Norwegian Lutherans in America, named after the confession of faith
presented by Lutherans in Augsburg, Germany, in 1530. Augsburg opened in September 1869, in Marshall, WI, and
moved to Minneapolis in 1872. The first seminarians were enrolled in 1874, and the first graduation was in 1879.
Early Leaders Establish a Direction
August Weenaas was Augsburg’s first president (1869-1876). Professor Weenaas recruited two teachers from Norway—
Sven Oftedal and Georg Sverdrup. These three men clearly articulated the direction of Augsburg: to educate Norwegian
Lutherans to minister to immigrants and to provide such “college” studies that would prepare students for theological
study.
In 1874 they proposed a three-part plan: first, train ministerial candidates; second, prepare future theological students;
and third, educate the farmer, worker, and businessman. The statement stressed that a good education is also practical.
Augsburg’s next two presidents also emphatically rejected ivory tower concepts of education. This commitment to
church and community has been Augsburg’s theme for more than 140 years.
3
Education for Service
Keeping the vision of the democratic college, Georg Sverdrup, Augsburg’s second president (1876-1907), required
students to get pre-ministerial experience in city congregations. Student involvement in the community gave early
expression to the concept of Augsburg’s motto, “Education for Service.”
In the 1890s, Augsburg leaders formed the Friends of Augsburg, later called the Lutheran Free Church. The church was a
group of independent congregations committed to congregational autonomy and personal Christianity. This change
made Augsburg the only higher educational institution of the small Lutheran body. The college division, however, was
still important primarily as an attachment to the seminary.
The Focus Changed
Traditional attitudes began to change after World War I. In 1911, George Sverdrup, Jr. became president. He worked to
develop college departments with an appeal to a broader range of students than just those intending to be ministers.
Augsburg admitted women in 1922 under the leadership of longtime dean of women, Gerda Mortensen.
The College’s mission assumed a double character: ministerial preparation together with a more general education for
life in society. In 1937, Augsburg elected Bernhard Christensen, an erudite and scholarly teacher, to be president (19381962). His involvement in ecumenical and civic circles made Augsburg a more visible part of church and city life.
After World War II, Augsburg leaders made vigorous efforts to expand and improve academic offerings. Now the College
had become a larger part of the institution than the seminary and received the most attention.
Accreditation for the College
Augsburg added departments essential to a liberal arts college, offering a modern college program based on general
education requirements and elective majors. Full accreditation of the College was achieved in 1954.
A study in 1962 defined the College’s mission as serving the good of society first and the interests of the Lutheran Free
Church second. The seminary moved to Luther Theological Seminary (now Luther Seminary) in St. Paul in 1963 when the
Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church. Subsequently, the American Lutheran Church
merged with two other Lutheran bodies in 1988 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
A College in the City
Under the leadership of President Oscar A. Anderson (1963-1980), Augsburg became a vital and integral part of the city
of Minneapolis. The College began to reach out to nontraditional student populations, ensuring educational opportunity
for all students. Also in these years, Augsburg added the Music Hall, Mortensen Hall, Urness Hall, Christensen Center, Ice
Arena, and Murphy Place.
Dr. Charles S. Anderson led the College from 1980 to 1997. He guided Augsburg’s commitment to liberal arts education,
spiritual growth and freedom, diversity in enrollment and programs, and a curriculum that draws on the resources of the
city as extensions of campus and classroom. Some of the accomplishments during his tenure include instituting two
graduate degree programs, hosting national and international figures at College-sponsored forums and events,
increasing accessibility, and the addition of the Foss, Lobeck, Miles Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication; the
Oscar Anderson Residence Hall; and the James G. Lindell Family Library.
Dr. William V. Frame became president in August 1997 and retired in 2006. Under his leadership, the College sharpened
its identity as a college of the city, providing an education grounded in vocational calling that provides students both the
theoretical learning and the practical experience to succeed in a global, diverse world. Augsburg’s Rochester campus
was added in 2002, further expanding Augsburg’s presence in key cities in the state of Minnesota.
Dr. Paul C. Pribbenow became president in July 2006. Under his leadership, the College aims to educate students of all
ages—in the midst of a great city—to be faithful citizens of the world.

Campus Location
Augsburg College is located in the heart of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The campus is
bordered by Riverside Avenue and Interstate 94, near the University of Minnesota West Bank campus and the University
of Minnesota Medical Center.
Downtown Minneapolis is just minutes away, providing access to internships and careers with some of the country’s
leading companies as well as entertainment, arts, sports venues, shopping, dining, and transportation. The campus is
blocks from the METRO Green and Blue light rail lines, which provide easy access to destinations in Minneapolis and St.
Paul, as well as the Minneapolis International Airport.

Augsburg Today
Augsburg continues to reflect the commitment and dedication of the founders who believed:
An Augsburg education should be preparation for service in community and church.
Education should have a solid liberal arts core with a practical dimension in order to send out productive, creative,
and successful citizens.
The city—with all its excitement, challenges, and diversity—is an unequaled learning laboratory for Augsburg
students.
The vision of the College’s work today is lived out in the phrase, “We believe we are called to serve our neighbor.
Through common commitments to living faith, active citizenship, meaningful work, and global perspective, Augsburg
prepares its students to become effective, ethical citizens in a complex global society.
In addition to Augsburg’s undergraduate program of liberal arts and sciences, Augsburg offers numerous master’s
degree programs as well as a doctoral program in nursing practice. For information about graduate programs, go to
www.augsburg.edu/grad.
Undergraduate and graduate education is offered in a variety formats. In addition to its Minneapolis campus, Augsburg
has a branch campus in Rochester, MN.
Centers of Commitment
The four Centers of Commitment articulate core values that inform the institutional mission of Augsburg College both
internally and externally: each Center provides a bridge between curriculum and community; each works to realize the
College's Strategic intention to "educate for lives of meaning and purpose" as well as to ensure the College is "at the
table" with community partners in relationships of mutual benefit that enhance the College's distinctive identity and
deepen the educational experiences of our students. Their themes are reflected in Augsburg's mission: informed
citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.
Minneapolis-based Day Program
Augsburg’s Minneapolis-based Day program offers more than 50 majors—or you can create your own major, either
on campus or through the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC). The program provides an educational
opportunity for students who want to earn a bachelor’s degree in a traditional weekday format. This five-college
consortium allows Day Program students to take courses on other campuses without additional charge while a fulltime student at Augsburg. The ACTC consortium includes Augsburg College, St. Catherine University, Hamline
University, Macalester College, and the University of St. Thomas.
Adult Undergraduate Programs
Augsburg’s Adult Undergraduate Program provides an educational opportunity for adults who want to earn a bachelor’s
degree with a flexible schedule and with a learning environment that acknowledges the real life experience adult
students bring to the classroom. It is a means by which men and women can gain skills for professional advancement,
prepare for a career change, or pursue a personal interest in one or more areas of the liberal arts and professional
studies.
The Weekend and Evening College (WEC) program began in 1982 with 69 students taking courses in three majors. The
program eventually grew to approximately 1,000 students in 18 majors in the liberal arts and professional studies, one
of the largest programs of its type among Minnesota private colleges.
In Fall 2014, the WEC program began a three year transition into the Adult Undergraduate Program (AU). Current
students may continue in the WEC program until spring semester 2017. New students began joining the AU program in
Fall 2014.
6
Program Transition Timeline
WEC classes will continue to be offered on the evenings and weekends through spring semester 2017. After that term,
the program will sunset and all courses will be offered in the AU program. During the transition, WEC students will be
able to register for courses in the WEC, AU, or Day programs, depending on their schedule needs. WEC courses will
continue to be offered in the hybrid learning model, combining traditional, face-to-face class time, with online and out
of class coursework.
Adult Undergraduate Schedule
The AU schedule is designed to meet the needs of adult students. Courses in individual majors will meet on the same
night of the week, on an alternating bi-weekly schedule for the duration of the major. The alternating weeks of the
semester are labeled “Maroon,” and “Silver”. Students select courses from both the maroon and silver schedules,
creating an alternating schedule of classes.
Face-to-face meetings occur on alternating weeks for three-and-a-half hours on either Tuesday or Thursday, depending
on the program. Online and out-of-class work occurs during the non-class meeting week. Additional classes outside of
the major program may be scheduled on Monday or Wednesday weeknights. AU students may take from one to four
courses each semester.
Minneapolis Campus Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s adult undergraduate program offers the flexibility you need, and is delivered in a hybrid-learning
format, combining the benefits of face-to-face classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. The
program offers more than 10 majors designed to help you finish your bachelor’s degree quickly and efficiently, in as
little as two years. Augsburg also offers several additional majors that are available through evening, in-class
courses, such as American Indian studies, computer science, English/creative writing, and others in the Day
Program. For a complete list of degree completion programs offered in the AU Program visit
www.augsburg.edu/pro/majors.
Rochester Campus Adult Undergraduate Program
Augsburg’s branch campus in Rochester was established in 1998 as a natural extension of the College’s mission and its
expertise in teaching working adults. A variety of undergraduate majors are offered.
The Rochester campus classrooms and offices are located at Bethel Lutheran Church (ELCA), a few blocks south of the
heart of the city, which is home to more than 100,000 residents. It is a city that enjoys a rich ethnic diversity and
superior technological resources.
In Rochester, Minnesota, students complete the same degree requirements as students in the Minneapolis
undergraduate program. Augsburg classes in Rochester meet on a semester schedule with classes taking place on
weekday evenings, making them accessible to working adults. As with the adult undergraduate program in
Minneapolis, Rochester class are delivered in a hybrid-learning format, combining the benefits of face-to-face
classroom instruction with the convenience of online learning. There are 8 majors offered in Rochester, some of
which must be completed by taking courses at the Minneapolis campus. In addition to the degree programs that can
be completed entirely in this location, students may work on a variety of other majors through a combination of
Rochester and Minneapolis-based evening courses.
Students at the Rochester campus are Augsburg College students. They are supported through an array of e-learning
resources ranging from access to Lindell Library databases to the use of online course management software.
Information about the Rochester campus is available at www.augsburg.edu/rochester or by calling the Rochester office
at 507-288-2886.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), as amended, provides certain rights to students
regarding their education records. Each year Augsburg College is required to give notice of the various rights accorded to
students pursuant to FERPA. In accordance with FERPA, you are notified of the following:
Right to inspect and review education records
You have the right to review and inspect substantially all of your education records maintained by or at Augsburg
College. The student must request to review their education records in writing with their signature. The College will
respond in a reasonable time, but no later than 45 days after receiving the request.
Right to request amendment of education records
You have the right to seek to have corrected any parts of an education record that you believe to be inaccurate,
misleading, or otherwise in violation of your right to privacy. This includes the right to a hearing to present evidence that
the record should be changed if Augsburg decides not to alter your education records according to your request.
Right to give permission for disclosure of personally identifiable information
You have the right to be asked and to give Augsburg your permission to disclose personally identifiable information
contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA and the regulations regarding FERPA authorize
disclosure without your permission. One such exception which permits disclosure without consent is for disclosure to
11
school officials who have legitimate education interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an
administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel
and health staff); person or company with whom the College has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection
agent); a person serving on the board of regents, or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate
educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional
responsibility.
Right to withhold disclosure of “directory information”
FERPA uses the term “Directory Information” to refer to those categories of personally identifiable information that may
be released for any purpose at the discretion of Augsburg College without notification of the request or disclosure to the
student.
Under FERPA you have the right to withhold the disclosure of the directory information listed below. Please consider
very carefully the consequences of any decision by you to withhold directory information. Should you decide to inform
Augsburg College not to release Directory Information, any future request for such information from persons or
organizations outside of Augsburg College will be refused.
“Directory information” includes the following:
The student’s name
The student’s address
The student’s telephone number
The student’s e-mail address
The student’s date and place of birth
The student’s major and minor field of study
The student’s academic class level
The student’s enrollment status (FT/HT/LHT)
The student’s participation in officially-recognized activities and sports
The student’s degrees and awards received (including dates)
The weight and height of members of athletic teams
The student’s dates of attendance
Previous educational agencies or institutions attended by the student
The student’s photograph
Augsburg College will honor your request to withhold all Directory Information but cannot assume responsibility to
contact you for subsequent permission to release it. Augsburg assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that
such information be withheld. The Registrar’s Office must be notified in writing of your intent to withhold your Directory
Information.
Right to complain to FERPA Office
You have the right to file a complaint with the Family Policy Compliance Office, US Department of Education, 400
Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC, 20202, concerning Augsburg’s failure to comply with FERPA.
Reporting Educational Information
Letters of reference must be requested in writing and explicitly indicate what information may be reported in the letter.

Undergraduate Admissions
Augsburg College strives to create a strong, rich, and vibrant campus community with students representing a large
number of backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, talents, and cultures. Selection of students for Augsburg College is

Payments
Semester Charges

designated by the Student Financial Services Office is sent to the student via e-mail. All statements are available online
through AugNet’s Records and Registration site. Payments can be made online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/header-make-paymentaccount-activity/payments. Augsburg may charge late fees
and interest on delinquent accounts. Review the full policy regarding past due balances online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/disclosure.
Payment Options
Augsburg College offers payment plan options for all students. Information about payment plans is available online at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/payment-plans-and-discounts.
Financial Aid
All students who wish to be considered for financial assistance must establish financial aid eligibility on an annual basis.
This includes completing the application process as outlined below and making satisfactory academic progress. In order
to maintain eligibility in financial aid programs, students must make satisfactory academic progress toward the
attainment of their degree or certificate as stipulated in the College catalog and as published on the Academic Progress
Standards for Financial Aid Recipients webpage, www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/sap-policy.
Financial assistance awarded through Augsburg may be a combination of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time work
opportunities. The College cooperates with federal, state, church, and private agencies in providing various aid
programs.
The primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and family. Financial aid supplements
student and family resources.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of assistance for which a student is
eligible. This analysis takes into account such family financial factors as current income, assets, number of dependent
family members, other educational expenses, retirement needs, and special considerations.
Types of Aid
A student applying for aid from Augsburg applies for assistance in general rather than for a specific scholarship or grant
(except as noted).
18
Augsburg may offer both merit-based and need-based financial aid to undergraduate students at the time of admission.
First year students can find specific information at www.augsburg.edu/firstyear/scholarships and transfer students can
find information at www.augsburg.edu/transfer/financial-aid-and-scholarships.
Augsburg will also determine students’ eligibility to receive financial aid grants from both federal and state entities.
These grants include Minnesota State Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Pell
Grant, Federal TEACH grant, and Bureau of Indian Affairs/Tribal and State Indian Scholarship. Contact Student Financial
Services if you need any additional information about any of these programs.
In addition to aid administered by Augsburg College, students are urged to investigate the possibility of scholarships and
grants that might be available in their own communities. It is worthwhile to check with churches, the company or
business employing parents or spouses, high schools, service clubs, and fraternal organizations for information on aid
available to students who meet their requirements. In addition to these sources, some students are eligible for aid
through Rehabilitation Services, Educational Assistance for Veterans, and Educational Assistance for Veterans’ Children,
and other sources.
Loan Assistance
Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 or more credits) to be eligible for any federal loans
Federal Perkins Student Loan
o A federally-funded program administered through Augsburg College for students who demonstrate financial
eligibility. No interest accrues nor do payments have to be made on the principal at any time you are
enrolled at least half-time in school. Simple interest of 5 percent and repayment of principal (at the
minimum of $40 a month) begin nine months after you leave school. Repayment may extend up to 10 years.
The loan offers a teacher cancellation clause. The maximum that may be borrowed for undergraduate study
is $16,000.
Federal Stafford Student Loan
o Subsidized Stafford Loans are need-based loans that the federal government subsidizes by paying the
interest while the student is in school and during the grace period.
o For the Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, interest begins accruing on the date of disbursement and the borrower
is responsible for all interest. The borrower may choose to make payments while in school or may defer
payments and allow interest to accrue and be capitalized (added to the balance of the loan).
Federal Parent Loan Program (PLUS)
o PLUS is a loan program to help parents meet college costs of their dependent children. Parents may borrow
up to the cost of attendance (minus all other student financial aid). Repayment begins within 60 days of final
disbursement.
Further information about all student and parent loan programs can be found at
www.augsburg.edu/studentfinancial/loans.
Student Employment
Students are able to apply for work study positions through Augsburg’s Human Resources Office. Part-time work
provided by the College is considered financial aid, just like scholarships, loans, and grants. Students are limited to a
maximum of 20 hours of on-campus employment per week. The number of hours a student can work is dependent on
the position and the needs of the department. However, work is not guaranteed.
All on-campus work is governed by policies stipulated in the work contract issued to the student employee for each
placement. Payment is made bi-weekly by check to the student employee.
Federal College Work Study Program and Minnesota State Work Study Program
o Under these programs, the federal or state government supplies funds on a matching basis with the College
to provide part-time work opportunities.
19
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Federal regulations require that all higher education institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students [1] receiving financial aid [2] are making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of a degree.
The purpose of this policy is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are using this money wisely. It is meant
to curtail the use of financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete their course work. Failure to meet the
following standards makes a student ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial aid.
Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress
1) Minimum GPA Requirements
Undergraduate Students must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA based on the entire academic record.
2) Minimum Credits Completed
Undergraduate Students must earn a cumulative 67% of the credits attempted based on the entire academic record. A
completed credit has a grade of 4.0 – 0.5 or P. Credits earned and completed will include accepted cumulative transfer
credits as defined by the Registrar’s Office. Unsatisfactory grades “W (Withdrawn),” “I (Incomplete),” “F (Zero),” and “N
(Not Passing)” are counted towards the cumulative attempted credits. Repeat courses and remedial courses are not
counted towards the cumulative attempted credits.
3) Maximum Time Frame
To demonstrate academic progress, undergraduate students must complete their degree objective within 150% of the
length of the program. In the CORE Curriculum, a student needs a minimum of 32 credits to graduate with a bachelor’s
degree. For those under the CORE Curriculum, they may not exceed attempting 49 credits. For students under the
Perspectives and Skills Curriculum, a student cannot exceed attempting 52 credits.
A student who reaches the 150% maximum time frame to complete their degree due to a change in major will need to
notify the Student Financial Services Office in order to continue to receive financial aid.
Monitoring and Evaluating Progress
In order to ensure SAP standards are being met, the Office of Student Financial Services will evaluate and monitor the
students’ academic achievement at the end of each term. After the student’s record is evaluated and the Student
Financial Services Office determined the student to be unsatisfactory, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
Warning or Financial Aid Suspension. Students will be notified through their Augsburg email if they fail to meet SAP
standards.
Financial Aid Warning
A student who fails to meet SAP standards will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for the following term of enrollment.
Students placed on Financial Aid Warning will still be eligible to receive financial aid if they submit an academic plan.
Financial Aid Warning will last for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial
Aid Warning will conclude. Students currently on Financial Aid Warning who do not meet the standards at the end of the
term will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension.
Financial Aid Suspension
A student who fails to meet either the minimum GPA requirement and/or minimum credits attempted while on
Financial Aid Warning will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. A student on Financial Aid Suspension is ineligible to
receive any form of financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension may submit an appeal to reinstate their financial
aid. Financial Aid Suspension will conclude when the student meets SAP standards, or successfully appeals.
Financial Aid will be suspended when a student placed on Financial Aid Suspension does not meet SAP standards.
Because grades may not be available before the beginning of the next scheduled term, it is possible that financial aid
20
may be disbursed to a student before the review can be conducted. In the event that a student is found to be ineligible
for the financial aid that has been disbursed due to a failure to meet one of the Standards, the aid that was disbursed
will be canceled, and returned to the appropriate program(s).
Right to Appeal
Students who have had their financial aid suspended may submit the SAP Appeal Form to the Student Financial Services
Office. The appeal must be submitted within 7 days of notification of unsatisfactory status or by the due date given on
the appeal letter. The SAP Appeal Form must be completely filled out, along with any additional documents required by
the Committee. The appeal should state reasons why the student failed to meet SAP standards, and what changed for
the student that will allow the student to demonstrate progress towards meeting SAP standards. The appeal will be
decided by the SAP Committee. All decisions made by the Committee are final.
If a student’s appeal is approved they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. If a student’s appeal is denied they will
remain on Financial Aid Suspension and will remain ineligible for financial aid.
Financial Aid Probation
A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Suspension and successfully appeals SAP will be place on Financial Aid
Probation. A student on Financial Aid Probation will be eligible to receive financial aid. Financial Aid Probation will last
for one term. If at the end of the term, the students meets SAP standards, the Financial Aid Probation will conclude.
Students currently on Financial Aid Probation who do not meet the standards at the end of the term will be placed on
Financial Aid Suspension.
Student Account Financial Disclosure
Students at Augsburg College are obligated to pay Term Fees and additional charges when they register for each
academic term. “Term Fees” include tuition, room and board charges and other fees initiated during your time as a
student. Students are responsible to pay for all of these charges regardless of whether financial aid is received or
employers or other third parties pay as agreed. “Term Fees” are subject to refund only to the extent allowed under the
Augsburg College Tuition Refund Policy. Statements and account history are available online through AugNet Records
and Registration.
Augsburg College may require someone to co-sign on the students’ obligations in special cases, such as when a student
has a history of late or missed payments. When a co-signer’s signature is required, both students and co-signers are
responsible for payment of all costs incurred (including collection costs and fees of any collection agency and/or
attorney, if applicable) and all other conditions outlined on the Student Account Financial Disclosure.

Augsburg may charge late fees and interest on delinquent accounts. Missed or late payments will be subject to a late
payment charge and/or a finance charge on the overdue balance from the date the balance was due until payment in
full is received. If your account is not paid in full on the first day of the term, finance charges at the rate of 8% per year
(.67% per month) will be added onto your student account balance. For example, this means that for every $1,000
owed you will receive $6.70 a month in finance charges. A $30 NSF Fee will be added for any payment returned by the
bank for Non-Sufficient Funds.
Past Due Accounts
If the student does not set up a formal payment plan with Augsburg’s Student Financial Services department, Augsburg
reserves the right to demand payment of the entire balance owed by that student and to take steps to collect it.
Augsburg may cancel the student’s registration, prevent the student from registering for future terms, withhold
transcripts or diplomas, remove the student from on-campus housing, turn the student’s account over to a collection
agency or take legal action to collect any past due balance. Each student authorizes Augsburg to release financial
information about her or his account and other pertinent information such as address and phone number to third
21
parties who are dealing with the collection of the account balance. By providing us with a telephone number for a
cellular phone or other wireless device, you are expressly consenting to receive communications – including but not
limited to prerecorded or artificial voice message calls, text messages, and calls made by an automatic telephone dialing
system – from us and our affiliates and agents at that number. This express consent applies to each such telephone
number that you provide to us now or in the future and permits such calls regardless of their purpose. Calls and
messages may incur access fees from your cellular provider. Each student also agrees to reimburse Augsburg College, or
its agents, the fees of any collection agency, which may be based on a percentage at a maximum of 40% of the debt, and
all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, we incur in such collection efforts. Please note that, due to
the Bankruptcy Reform Act, educational benefits are generally exempt from discharge under bankruptcy. The terms
of this agreement remain in effect until all Term Fees and other charges are paid in full.
Tuition Refund Policy
Students are eligible for a 100% tuition refund for any courses they drop without notation through the date labeled “Last
day to drop without a ‘W’ grade & 100% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar. After this date,
students are no longer eligible for any refund of tuition unless they withdraw from all of their courses. This policy is
effective whether or not a student has attended classes.
Students withdrawing from all of a term’s courses may receive a 50% tuition refund when they withdraw by the date
labeled “Last day to withdraw with 50% refund – Full Semester class” on the Academic Calendar.
Students are responsible for cancelling courses through the Registrar’s Office (or online) in order to be eligible for any
refund. Students who unofficially withdraw (stop attending) but do not complete the drop/add form are responsible for
all charges. Financial aid may be adjusted based on the student’s last recorded date of attendance. Refund calculations
are based on the date that the drop/add form is processed.
Medical Refund
If a student is forced to withdraw from one or more courses in a term due to illness or an accident, a request for a
medical refund should be made through the Academic/Financial Petition. Petition forms are available through the
Registrar’s Office website. An extra medical refund may be granted by the Committee upon submission of
documentation from the attending doctor, on letterhead, verifying the medical circumstances.
Unofficial Withdrawal
Federal regulations require that records of financial aid recipients who earn failing grades in all their classes be
reviewed. If courses are not completed (e.g., unofficial withdrawal, stopped attending), the College is required to refund
financial aid to the appropriate sources according to federal or Augsburg refund policies based on the last recorded date
of attendance. Students are responsible for the entire cost of the term including the portion previously covered by
financial aid should they stop attending. Students are strongly urged to follow guidelines for complete withdrawal from
college. If there are extenuating circumstances, a petition to have the cost of tuition refunded can be made. Petition
forms are available online through the Registrar’s Office website.
A student who registers, does not attend any classes, and does not withdraw may petition to withdraw retroactively.
The student must petition within six months of the end of term and provide proof of non-attendance. Proof can include,
but is not limited to, statements from each instructor that the student never attended, or documentation of attendance
for the term at another college or university. If approved, grades of W will be recorded and tuition charges for the term
will be replaced with an administrative cancellation fee of $300.
Financial Aid Policy
Financial aid such as federal, state, and institutional grants and scholarships are awarded based upon the total number
of registered credits on the “Last day to add with faculty signature – Full Semester class” as noted on the Academic
Calendar. Students must register for internships, Time 2 classes, and ACTC classes before the “Last day to add with
faculty signature-Full Semester class”. Financial aid will not be adjusted for classes added after this date.
22
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester by actively attending and participating in classes
throughout the semester. Financial aid is recalculated when students do any of the following: drop classes without a
“W” grade, fail to begin classes, cease to attend classes, fail all classes, or fully withdraw from all classes.
Financial Aid - Return of Aid Policy
Students must earn the financial aid they are awarded each semester. A student can earn their aid by attending classes,
or in the event of hybrid/online courses, be an active participant in the course.
Federal/State Aid Adjustments
Augsburg is required to return unearned federal/state aid for students who fully withdraw from their courses. Student
are eligible to keep more aid the longer they attend their courses. After 60% of the term has passed, students are
eligible to keep all of their federal/state aid. If you are planning to completely withdraw from your courses, please see a
Student Financial Services counselor to determine what aid may need to be returned.
Institutional Aid Adjustments
Augsburg will return institutional aid for students who partially withdraw or fully withdraw from courses. If students
withdraw from their courses they will receive a 50% tuition refund and 50% of their institutional aid will be removed. If a
student withdraws after the last day to receive a tuition refund, there will be no adjustment to their institutional aid.
Credit Refund Policy
Augsburg students may be eligible to receive a credit refund if their financial aid exceeds tuition and fee charges for a
term. Credit refunds are issued within two weeks after the last day to drop courses without recorded notation. Financial
Aid needs to be finalized (You can verify your financial aid status online through Track Your Financial Aid) and applied to
a student’s account (Check your Transaction History online to verify all of your financial aid has been applied to your
account and nothing is left pending) before the credit refund can be issued.
Changes in enrollment status, housing status, and program status may affect financial aid eligibility and credit refunds.
Students who are enrolled less than half-time (less than 6.0 credits for undergraduates, less than 3.0 credit for
graduates) may not be eligible for financial aid; however, students may apply for private alternative loans. Registration
changes made from the first week of the term through midterm may require a return of financial aid funds. Students
who drop courses may receive a tuition refund, but some forms of financial aid may have to be adjusted before a refund
will be available. Financial aid return of funds may take up to 30-45 days to be processed.
Bookstore Policy
Students who are registered for the upcoming term will be allowed to charge up to $600 to their student account.
Students DO NOT need to request a bookstore account this year.
Please plan ahead and purchase books and supplies before the scheduled cut off dates; plan ahead for courses that start
midterm as you will be unable to charge anything to your student account after the cut-off date.
Students’ accounts will be billed for only what was spent on their bookstore accounts before credit refunds are issued. If
your bookstore charges create a balance on your account, you need to make payments in accordance with your
statement. Bookstore purchases charged to a student account are intended for students who have excess financial aid
funds to cover their tuition, fees, AND their books or supplies. Please contact Student Financial Services before you
purchase books if you need to discuss payment options.
Due to the financial aid cycle, you can only charge expenses to your bookstore account during specific times.
23
Third Party
If you are expecting a third party to cover the cost of your books, you will need to turn in an itemized receipt of your
purchases to the Student Financial Services Office, along with your invoice request.
Additional Funds
If the cost of your textbooks and supplies are above $600 in one term, you have enough financial aid to cover the
additional costs, and you would like to charge the additional amount to your student account, please send the following
information to Student Financial Services (studentfinances@augsburg.edu). All requests need to be in writing.
Subject: Request for additional funds
Full Name:
Student ID number:
Additional request:
Students will receive an e-mail when the additional request has been processed. Accounts are opened as quickly as
possible, but it could take up to two business days for activation.
Consumer Information
LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY DUE TO A DRUG OFFENSE
A student, who is convicted of a state or federal offense involving the possession or sale of an illegal drug that occurred
while the student was enrolled in school and receiving Title IV aid, is not eligible for Title IV funds. [An illegal drug is a
controlled substance as defined by the Controlled Substance Act and does not include alcohol and tobacco.
A borrower’s eligibility is based on the student’s self-certification on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). Convictions that are reversed, set aside or removed from the student’s record, or a determination arising from
a juvenile court proceeding do not affect eligibility and do not need to be reported by the student.
A student who is convicted of a drug-related offense that occurred while the student was enrolled in school and
receiving Title IV aid loses Title IV eligibility as follows:
For the possession of illegal drugs:
First offense: one year from the date of conviction.
Second offense: two years from the date of the second conviction.
Third offense: indefinitely from the date of the third conviction.
For the sale of illegal drugs:
First offense: two years from the date of conviction.
Second offense: indefinitely from the date of the second conviction.
A school must provide a student who loses Title IV eligibility due to a drug-related conviction with a timely, separate,
clear, and conspicuous written notice. The notice must advise the student of his or her loss of Title IV eligibility and the
ways in which the student may regain that eligibility.
Regaining Eligibility after a Drug Conviction
A student may regain eligibility at any time by completing an approved drug rehabilitation program and by informing the
school that he or she has done so. A student regains Title IV eligibility on the date he or she successfully completes the
program. A drug rehabilitation program is considered approved for these purposes if it includes at least two
unannounced drug tests and meets one of the following criteria:
The program received or is qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a federal, state, or local government
program.
24
The program is administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
The program received or is qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state licensed
insurance company.
The program administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.
Policies may change throughout an academic year if necessary to comply with federal, state, or institutional changes or
regulations
25
Residence Life Program
Students who choose to make Augsburg their home find a friendly, 23-acre village in the midst of a major metropolitan
area. They make many new friends among roommates and classmates. They are just steps away from Lindell Library,
classrooms, Hoversten Chapel, the ice arena, fitness center, and Christensen Center. With just over 1,000 students living
on campus, most students and faculty greet each other by name.
Augsburg recognizes the importance of the residential experience during the college years. Studies show that students
who live on campus are more likely to persist academically, to be involved on campus, and tend to have a slightly higher
grade point average. Residence Life staff are professional and student team members available to support students in
their academic and co-curricular experiences. Through their efforts residential community members become acquainted
with life at Augsburg through educational and social opportunities.
Living on campus offers many opportunities for learning, leadership, and fun. Numerous events are planned to welcome
students to the community, including dances, movie nights, open mic nights, and weeks devoted to special themes or
issues.
Resident students have access to a 24-hour computer lounge, wireless internet, study lounges, 24-hour security, laundry
facilities, and vending. All rooms and apartments are equipped with hook-ups for telephone, cable television,
computers, and internet access. A skyway connecting the lobby of Urness Hall and Mortensen Hall to Christensen Center
and Oren Gateway Center to the Lindell Library keeps students out of the weather on the way to class.
To secure housing on campus, students need to submit the following items:
Housing deposit
Residence Life and Dining contract
During spring semester, current Augsburg students are provided with information on the process to secure housing for
the next academic year.

27
Student Activities and Organizations
Augsburg’s mission focuses on student learning in the broadest sense. Experiences in the classroom are an important
part of college life, yet learning and development also occur in formal and informal activities of the College and the
surrounding area. Whether students take classes in the day, evening, or weekend, the climate for learning and living at
Augsburg will add dimension to their education.
Athletics and Sports
Intercollegiate Athletics
Augsburg is affiliated with the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) and is a member of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III. Men annually compete in football, soccer, cross country, basketball,
ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf. Women annually compete in lacrosse,
volleyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, softball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf.
Facilities
At Augsburg, the facilities are for all students, faculty and staff. Check schedules for times when there is open use of the
gymnasium and ice arena. On-campus facilities include a double-rink ice arena, a 3-court gymnasium, a multi-purpose
athletic field, fitness center with workout machines, a weight room, a racquetball court, and an air-supported dome over
the athletic field for winter fitness, rentals, and spring sport practices.
Intramurals
Every student is urged to participate in activities for recreation and relaxation. An intramural program provides
competition in a variety of team sports as well as individual performance activities. Check schedules on the Athletics
website for times when there is open use of the athletic field/dome, gymnasium, and ice arena.
Campus Activities and Orientation
Campus Activities and Orientation (CAO) creates and implements innovative programming that fosters individual and
community development and creates an environment where students can connect, engage, and invest in the Augsburg
community. CAO programming works to enhance and supplement the liberal arts and professional studies at Augsburg
College through quality transitional programs for new students as well as through leadership education.
CAO is made up of four program areas:
1. Campus Activities
CAO offers several programs and activities throughout the academic year designed to connect and engage students with
the Augsburg and surrounding community.
2. Student and Group Leadership Development
Emerging Leaders Program (ELP) is an initiative designed to develop new leadership at Augsburg College by empowering
first-year students to cultivate and apply their inherent leadership skills through a semester-long skill-building training
program.
Student Group Development-CAO provides student groups with workshops focusing on social justice, privilege, antioppression, and other pertinent areas of development.
28
3. Orientation Programs
SOAR is a required two-day, overnight orientation experience for incoming first-year day students designed to help with
the transition to Augsburg College. Students will meet fellow classmates, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources
and services; and get a taste of life on campus.
Parent SOAR is an optional orientation experience for the parents and guardians of first-year students that runs
concurrently with the students’ SOAR session. Parents obtain important information about the campus; meet fellow
parents, faculty, and staff; learn about college resources and services; and get a taste of what life will be like for their
students on campus.
Transfer SOAR is a required day-long orientation experience for transfer students designed to help with the transition to
Augsburg College. Students will learn about College resources and services, hear about academic programs, and discover
why being a part of the Augsburg community is so rewarding.
Auggie Days is a required on-campus orientation experience for incoming first-year day students, which is designed to
complement SOAR, provide opportunities to enhance academic and personal success, and offer a helpful advantage in
starting at Augsburg College.
4. Student Organizations
CAO manages student organizations on campus and provides them access to many benefits, including but not limited to:
organization emails, websites, Auggie's Nest lockers, Auggie Room supplies, skill-building workshops and conferences,
advising, funding and grants, and much more.
Campus Ministry
As a college of the church, we are concerned about spiritual as well as academic and social growth. Our concern for
spiritual care is evident in the opportunities we encourage and provide for students to explore their own faith. Daily
worship, Wednesday Night Holy Communion, Bible studies, community outreach, retreats, peace and justice events,
concerts and gatherings, and interfaith initiatives are examples of the wide varieties of activities on campus.
At Augsburg College, we are “guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church.” Because of this identity, we seek
to develop an environment where people are encouraged to use and discover gifts and a sense of call and vocation. As a
college of the church, we emphasize the development of this through attending to the sacred, living into radical
hospitality, and shaping community. The college pastors and campus ministry staff have offices in Foss, Lobeck, Miles
Center for Worship, Drama, and Communication and are available for spiritual guidance, counseling, support, or
information.
Community Engagement
The Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, rooted in Augsburg’s mission to educate students to be informed
citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders, aims to:
Create a culture of civic agency and engagement among students, faculty, staff, and our broader community so that
graduates are architects of change and pioneers in work of public significance.
Foster connections with local community based organizations and position Augsburg as an anchor institution in the
Twin Cities.
Revitalize the democratic and public purposes of higher education in a time when strengthening colleges’ visible
contributions to the common good, not simply to private benefit.
Bonner Leaders Program
In Fall of 2008 Augsburg College launched its first year of the Bonner Leaders Program. Through the Bonner program,
students develop deep community relationships and engage in long-term policy advocacy throughout their time at
Augsburg. Those selected to be Bonner Leaders are students with diverse ethnic and geographical backgrounds and
29
experience in community and public work. Through placements with partner nonprofit organizations and community
programs, students work an average of 220 hours each academic year supporting ELL classrooms, running an
employment education computer lab, coordinating a low-income housing program, community health outreach,
tutoring in afterschool programs, and more. Beyond their work-study placements, students participate in civic
engagement efforts on campus.
Through their participation with the Bonner Leaders Program, students engage in monthly guided reflections and
leadership development workshops. The Augsburg Bonner Leaders Program is a successful model that builds on the
College’s culture of community and civic engagement.
Campus Kitchen
The Campus Kitchen Project connects the campus community with the larger neighborhood by using food as a tool to
nourish bodies, develop leadership, and educate students through service learning. To accomplish these goals, four
programs focus on this engagement:
Food to Share
o Surplus food from the Augsburg Dining Service is donated, reheated, and served by student volunteers to
neighborhood partners, including homeless shelters, youth and senior programs, and others. Augsburg
students in need can also find free food at our food shelf on campus, the Campus Cupboard.
Food to Grow
o On the corner of campus, Augsburg staff and students manage a community garden composed of nearly 100
garden plots where community and campus members can grow their own food. The garden staff also hosts
classes on healthy living in which neighborhood youth learn to grow and cook healthy food.
Food to Buy
o Find fresh produce grown by local farmers at the weekly farmer’s markets Tuesdays through the summer:
11-1 pm at Foss Chapel on campus, and 2-5 pm at the Brian Coyle Center down the street. The market
doubles any purchase made with food stamps. Augsburg is also the host of an organic CSA farm that people
can become members of and get a large box of produce each week.
Food to Know
o Understanding our food system and community health through programs that educate on issues of hunger
and poverty, and cooking and gardening classes in the community and weekly on campus.
Common Table
The Common Table, located at 2001 Riverside in the Trinity Congregation Building, is devoted to building community
capacity to make change by connecting and equipping leaders.
Connecting campus community with neighborhood community.
Connecting students to local communities, professionals, and movements.
Connecting community members across boundaries at an intersection.
Equipping young people with the mentorship and connections to pursue their goals.
Equipping community members with the tools and experience of public work and organizing.
Equipping leaders with an equity analysis for equitable leadership.
We continue to welcome new ideas for utilizing this multi-purpose space to deepen the relationships between Augsburg
College, Trinity Lutheran, the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, and the Twin Cities.
Jane Addams School for Democracy
The Jane Addams School for Democracy brings immigrant families, college students and other community members
together to do public work and learning. It is a community-based initiative inspired by the vision of democracy,
productive citizenship, and popular education held by settlement house pioneers like Jane Addams, who created Hull
House in Chicago in 1889.
30
Participants in the school include long-time community residents, Hmong, Latino, and East African refugee and
immigrant adults and children, as well as students, faculty, and staff from nine Twin Cities colleges and universities. The
non-bureaucratic and non-hierarchical structure of Jane Addams School breaks down barriers so that people can work
together across language, culture, gender and age differences to address issues that impact their daily lives.
Public Achievement
The Public Achievement organizing model recognizes that people of every age have skills, talents and ideas, and that by
learning to work strategically with others they can solve problems and build sustainable democratic societies. In a school
setting, young people form teams to take action on a public problem that is important to them (for example, driving out
gang activity or improving classroom space). The team works with a coach—typically a teacher or college student—to
develop an action plan. Through practice and reflection, the team members develop public skills and confidence.
Service-Learning and Community Engagement/Community Service-Learning
Augsburg’s Community Service-Learning Program provides students with opportunities to understand and respond to
needs in the city through course-embedded service experiences and civic engagement activities. A key component of
community service-learning is reflection on and analysis of community issues in order to promote personal and
educational growth and civic responsibility. By connecting classroom content with service-learning experiences in the
city, Augsburg students deepen their understanding of abstract course concepts while learning about pertinent and
related community issues. This dynamic and interactive educational approach employs reciprocal learning between
students and their community. Service-learning components are embedded in most academic disciplines. Examples of
community service-learning sites include homeless shelters, cultural and environmental organizations, tutoring
programs, and literacy centers.
Fine Arts
Students have many opportunities to participate in music and drama. In addition to appearing on campus and in the city,
the Augsburg Choir, Concert Band, and Orchestra perform on national and international tours. Many other ensembles
are available to cover the entire range of musical styles and previous musical experience. Students stage several plays on
campus each year under the direction of the Theater Arts Program and have the opportunity to attend a series of oncampus workshops with visiting arts professionals.
Student Center
Christensen Center, the Augsburg student union, serves students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. Traditionally
considered the “living room” of the campus, the student union provides a central gathering place for the diverse
populations of residential, commuter, Adult Undergraduate, and graduate students at Augsburg through the merging of
curricular and co-curricular programs and activities. Christensen Center also houses several student services, such as the
Admissions Office, Campus Activities and Orientation, the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work, Multicultural Student
Services, LGBTQIA Student Services, Event and Conference Planning, the Copy Center, Shipping and Receiving, the
Information Desk, A’viands Food Services, and Mail Services.
The Auggie’s Nest, located on the ground floor of Christensen Center, serves as the student organization office area and
houses the Augsburg Day Student Government, the Augsburg ECHO (campus newspaper) office and the KAUG (campus
radio) office. Lockers are also available in this area for student organization use.
Student Government
The Augsburg Day Student Government and the Adult Undergraduate Student Advisory Council organizations support
and advocate for student concerns, needs, and activities. These student government groups serve as the official student
governments, and the primary voice and liaison between students and the administration, faculty, and staff of Augsburg
College.
31

Meaningful Work. Our staff is committed to helping students develop lifelong career management skills that honor each
student’s unique gifts and aspirations, aligned with active citizenship in the world. The Career and Internship Services
office plays an essential role in students’ overall education and includes a comprehensive resource center that
emphasizes the importance and value for all students to engage in internships, career development, and the exploration
of vocation throughout their college years.

Prepare for the job search and/or graduate school
Build lifelong career management skills to successfully navigate the changing job market
Make a difference in our communities by contributing their unique gifts to the world
Augsburg offers several opportunities for students to gain on-the-job and internship experience. Our faculty and staff
have developed partnerships with community organizations and employers that provide learning opportunities to
students, many of which fulfill the Augsburg Experience requirement for graduation.
Internships
Internships for Academic Credit
o An internship for credit is a carefully planned, work- or service-based learning experience where a student
focuses on specific learning objectives that connect concepts of the major to the experience. An academic
internship is approved, supervised, and evaluated by a faculty member in the department in which the
student wishes to earn the internship credit. Interdisciplinary (INS) internships are also available. A learning
agreement plan, negotiated with the faculty supervisor and work supervisor, outlines the academic
objectives, strategies, and evaluation methods for receiving credit. Students complete internships in
nonprofits, small and large businesses, government agencies, museums, arts organizations, schools and
churches.
o Internships for credit are available in all majors and can be taken during any semester. Students must be
registered for their internship during the term in which they are completing the majority of their experience.
Credit will not be awarded for past experiences. Internships can be registered for 2 or 4 semester credits. A
two credit internship involves a minimum time commitment of, on average, 6 hours per week or 80 total
hours for the semester. Internships for four credits require a minimum time commitment of, on average, 12
hours per week or 160 total hours for the semester. A maximum of 16 semester credits of internship may
count toward the total credits required for the degree. Upper division internships completed off-campus for
credit will automatically fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement.
Non-credit internships
o Internships related to a student’s major or career interests can be registered for a zero-credit internship
(AUG EX3) to fulfill the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement. The goal is for students to apply
theory to practice in a real world setting and reflect on the experience. Internship opportunities are typically
part-time during the academic year and/or full-time during the summer, but may have flexible start dates
and schedules. Students choosing to complete this option will register the internship during the term in
which they will be completing the experience, set learning goals, complete a minimum of 80 hours, and
reflect on their experience. The Director or Internship Coordinator of Career and Internship Services
supervises non-credit internships and evaluates the reflection process.
Work Connections (Available to WEC and AU students only)
o Work Connections is a non-credit option available to WEC/AU students who are currently working full or
part-time. The Work Connections option allows WEC/AU students to utilize their rich and often extensive
work history to meet the Augsburg Experience graduation requirement in lieu of a traditional internship.
WEC/AU students choosing to complete this option will register for the Work Connections course (AUG EX4)
during the term in which they intend to complete their reflection work. This option requires students to
write learning outcome goals that integrate their on-the-job experience with classroom learning and
complete reflection assignments describing an academic and work connection. Staff of Career and
Internship Services supervises and evaluates the Work Connections reflection process.

Gage Center for Student Success
The Gage Center assists all Augsburg students in setting and achieving optimal academic goals here at the College and
beyond. The Gage Center is located on the Link Level of Lindell Library. The center consists of five collaborating units:
Academic Advising
The Deidre Middleton Office of Academic Advising works in support of faculty advisors to guide students in identifying
academic interests and satisfying the curricular requirements of the college. Our office assists new Day and Adult
Undergraduate (AU) students with initial course selection and registration, and provides orientation to the academic
policies, procedures, and resources at the College. In addition, Academic Advising administers assessment tests,
interprets graduation requirements, provides degree planning resources, and answers academic progress questions.
All incoming students are assigned a faculty and staff advisor. Staff advisors work closely with students to ensure their
understanding of available resources and support. As students become more familiar with the College, they spend more
time meeting with their faculty advisor and developing the faculty-student mentoring relationship.
Once a major is declared, each student will select a faculty advisor from their chosen discipline by completing the
Change of Major/New Advisor Form. While all students are required to meet with their faculty advisor(s) each term
prior to registration, students are encouraged to meet with their advisor(s) as often as necessary to support their
academic progress. Students must declare their major(s) by the end of their sophomore year. Majors and minors are
declared online in Augnet Records and Registration. Students confirm their majors and minors on an annual basis until
the Intent to Graduate form is submitted.
Academic Skills Office (ASO)
The Academic Skills Office helps students to achieve their academic goals and become self-directed learners.
Comprehensive academic support (e.g., training in time management, note-taking, reading, testing,
motivation/procrastination, problem solving, troubleshooting) is available for all Augsburg students through individual
and group appointments. In addition, the Academic Skills coaches address affective needs and aid in the overall
transition to college. Coaches also refer students to campus resources.
The Academic Skills Office coordinates several programs to support students:
Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction Services
o ASO coordinates free tutoring (individual and group drop-in) for most classes and supplemental instruction
in specific courses. Tutors and SI leaders are recommended by course professors and trained by ASO to
provide tutoring support.
Conditional Admit Program (CAP)
o Each year, a limited number of students are admitted conditionally through the CAP program. If CAP
students do not meet the program requirements, they will be continued in the CAP program, placed on
probation, or dismissed. Get more information at the Academic Skills Office website,
http://www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the
catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Probation Advising
o Students placed, continued, or returned to academic probation are required to meet with an approved
academic advocate. A registration hold is placed on the student's record, which will prevent registration,
until the student completes the probation requirements. Students who do not fulfill the necessary
requirements of their probationary status will be continued on probation and/or dismissed. For more
information on probation requirements, go to the Academic Skills Office website at
http://www.augsburg.edu/acskills. See the Academic Progress, Probation, and Dismissal section of the
catalog for a description of probation and dismissal procedures.
Augsburg Advantage at St. Kate’s (AASK) o Based on their application for admission to Augsburg, the Augsburg College Admissions Committee selects
students for the AASK program--a collaborative effort between St. Catherine University (St. Kate’s) and
Augsburg. The program assists students with the transition from high school to college with specific courses

o
o
and supportive programming. The program provides participants with the opportunity to complete similar
coursework that first-year students complete at Augsburg on an even smaller campus with more faculty
support. Students attend courses on the Minneapolis campus of St. Catherine University and have access to
both campuses for support, resources, and activities.
Upon successful completion of the first year (student must complete a minimum of 28 semester credits),
students are guaranteed sophomore status and will have fulfilled many of the first-year Augsburg
requirements.
To complete the program, in order to “transition,” students are required to:
Complete all required courses (30 semester credits) including Foundations of Wellness (at Augsburg)
with a minimum 3.0 GPA and no course grade below 2.0 or P.
Satisfactory completion of all Critical Competencies at St. Kate’s
Attend all seminars and transition events at Augsburg and St. Kate’s
Complete transition application and recommendation process with advisor at St. Kate’s by March
15.
Complete the Summer Transition Program (one course and all programming) in the second summer
semester at Augsburg after completing the first year at St Kate’s.
A second year program, which would allow students to earn an Associate of Arts degree from St. Catherine’s
University, may be an option for students who are unable to transition after their first year in the AASK
program. Students should contact SCU and Augsburg advisors if interested in this option.
Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS)
The Center for Learning and Accessible Student Services (CLASS) provides individualized accommodations and academic
support for students with documented learning, attention, psychiatric, and other cognitive disabilities, and for students
with physical disabilities such as TBI, chronic illness, mobility impairments, and vision, hearing, or speech impairments,
and temporary disabilities. CLASS has been recognized as a leader in its field, helping these students gain access to the
college curriculum. Its mission is a reflection of Augsburg’s commitment to providing a rigorous and challenging, yet
supportive, liberal arts education to students with diverse backgrounds, preparations, and experiences.
Each term, Disability Specialists work directly with students to develop a plan for ensuring they have equal access to
Augsburg courses, programs, activities, and facilities. Typically, meetings are held weekly and discussions may include:
Accommodations for testing and coursework (e.g., extended time, note-taking)
Referrals to other campus resources (e.g., tutoring, student technology assistance, academic advising, counseling,
financial aid)
Training and use of assistive technology through the Groves Accommodations Laboratory
Coaching on academic, organizational, and time management skills
Campus living accommodations
The Disability Specialists may also consult with instructors, academic advisors, and other members of the college faculty,
staff, or administration to support each student as they work toward success. Taking advantage of these
accommodations and services, however, remains the student’s responsibility.
Any Augsburg student who wants to establish eligibility for accommodations and services should schedule a meeting
with a Specialist to discuss their needs, as well as appropriate documentation of their disability. CLASS also provides
informal screenings for students who suspect they may have a learning-related disability. These screenings are meant
only to help students determine whether they should seek a thorough evaluation by a qualified professional.
Academic accommodations are intended to ensure access to educational opportunities for students with disabilities and
may not fundamentally alter the basic nature or essential components of an institution’s courses or programs.
CLASS services are made possible in part through endowment support provided by the Gage family and the Groves
Foundation. For further information, call 612-330-1053.

Bernhard Christensen Center for Vocation
Augsburg College has a deep and long-standing commitment to the theological concept of vocation—the idea that all
people can use their individual gifts to serve God’s purposes in the world and that each person’s contribution is uniquely
valuable.
In the spring of 2002, with the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Augsburg created a program called Exploring
Our Gifts that was designed to help students, staff, and faculty explore the connections between faith, learning, service,
and work. Over the years, the program has helped embed vocational themes into the curriculum and has sponsored a
wide variety of short-term projects that offer rich opportunities for reflection on how to live with purpose and meaning.
These ongoing projects include internships at nonprofit organizations, off-campus service projects, international
seminars, vocation-themed chapel presentations, interfaith forums, vocation retreats, and scholarships for students
interested in exploring service to the community, ministry, or church leadership.
When Exploring Our Gifts ended in summer 2010, the College created a permanent center—the Bernhard Christensen
Center for Vocation—that keeps vocation at the core of Augsburg’s vision. This center continues many of the earlier
initiatives and carries on the work of promoting discovery of gifts and discernment of calling among the students,
faculty, and staff at Augsburg as well as members of the larger community.
For further information on how to participate in Augsburg’s vocation programming, visit www.augsburg.edu/ccv.
StepUP® Program
The StepUP program at Augsburg College strives to help students champion lives of recovery, achieve academic success,
and thrive in a residential community of accountability and support. The culture of StepUP is shaped by its values:
recovery based on spirituality, 12-step mutual support groups, and other proven pathways to healthy recovery; personal
responsibility, integrity, and living a balanced life; educational success; giving back through servant leadership; thriving
in a community that is an alcohol- and drug-free environment; and developing healthy minds, bodies, spirits, and
emotions.
Students live in on-campus recovery housing, have individual support meetings with licensed alcohol and drug
counseling staff, and participate in team and community-building activities. Students have access to academic skills
specialists and other support services on campus. Participation in StepUP offers students leadership opportunities within
38
the program, on campus, and in the greater Twin Cities community. In StepUP, students join together to form a
community in which recovery is celebrated as a normal part of personal growth. Many of the friendships and bonds
students form while participating in the StepUP program last a lifetime.
In order to qualify for the program students must be committed to a 12-step or other proven, abstinence-based
recovery program, have a minimum of six months of continuous sobriety, agree to abide by the StepUP contract, and
live in StepUP housing.

faculty and staff to respond to Civil Rights era challenges pro-actively through sit-ins and teach-ins held on and off
campus. As a result, Black Student Affairs was born. It has evolved over the years into the PAC. Today, the PAC is
primarily a resource center, providing culturally-conscious personal, academic, financial, pre-professional and
transitional support for students of African descent. This serves to enhance the recruitment, retention, and graduation
of our students and facilitates a more meaningful learning experience. The PAC brings the knowledge and experience of
Afrikan people in the Diaspora to the community through a variety of programming as well through advising the PanAfrikan Student Union. The Pan-Afrikan Student Union (PASU) is a commissioned organization whose purpose is to
enable students of African descent to share their diversity and collectively express their fellowship with the Augsburg
community. PASU sponsors a variety of social, intellectual, and cultural activities.

Augsburg in Southern Africa
Nation-Building, Globalization, and Decolonizing the Mind: Southern African Perspectives (Namibia and South Africa)—
Fall or Spring
This program examines the crucial issues of nation-building, globalization, and decolonizing the mind, from the
perspectives of the new democracies in southern Africa. Namibia won its independence in 1990 after decades of
apartheid under South African colonization. South Africa had its first democratic election in 1994. As these nations
struggle to build nationhood and deal with the legacies of apartheid and colonialism, they are faced with the challenges
posed by today’s world—rapid globalization as well as under- and unequal development. Decolonizing the mind is a
long-term project. The program includes seminars in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. Available courses
are: HIS 327, POL 353, REL 346, ENV 100 and INS 312/POL 354. Internships are also available in eight different
departments, and a Lifetime Activity course (Yoga) is also available for no credit.
