ACTC Students
Our first priority is to give seats to Macalester students in our classes. MSCS courses are closed to ACTC students until the last day of Macalester’s registration. ACTC students will need an instructor override for any course with a prerequisite, unless that prerequisite was taken at Macalester.
ACTC students who need courses for their major/minor (especially when their home institution does not offer such classes), should contact department chair Alicia Johnson ([email protected]) as early as possible to check if we can reserve seats in classes.
