As we cannot be responsible for forms that are sent but for whatever reason do not actually arrive at Macalester, it is in your best interest to confirm that your forms have been received. We are happy to check on this for you. Please call either the Academic Programs Office at 651-696-6036 or the Registrar’s Office at 651-696-6200, or contact us via e-mail, academicprograms@macalester.edu, if you wish to confirm.
We also suggest that you keep a copy of your registration form or a list of the courses you selected in case we don’t receive it and you need to resubmit it.
We will begin processing forms on June 26, placing students whose forms are in on or before that day. We’ll do our best to get you into the courses that are your top choices, but there may be instances where demand exceeds available spaces.
If your registration forms arrive after June 26, they’ll be processed on a first come, first serve basis, but we cannot guarantee placement in a top choice for late forms.
You should know that we will NOT put you in four courses from one division.
You will receive a copy of your complete schedule during Orientation, when you meet with your adviser. Please be advised that if you see your course schedule on 1600 Grand at any time during the summer, it is NOT final. Changes may be made to your schedule prior to your arrival at Macalester.
The courses you choose now will most likely be what you actually take in the fall. Some changes may be necessary (because of results of placement test, for example) and those can be accomplished with your adviser’s help during Orientation. There is also a drop/add period at the beginning of each semester during which you can change your schedule.
