Academic advising
Questions that should be directed to the CLASS Office
-Do you have a program for students with disabilities including learning disabilities,
ADD/ADHD, and psychiatric conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar? Students
may indicate they had an IEP or a 504 plan in high school. (Students with physical
disabilities should contact Sadie Curtis in the Access Center. CLASS only works with
students with cognitive-based disabilities.)
-Do you have a program for students with Asperger Syndrome/Autism?
-What are the requirements for admission to the CLASS office?
-How do I make special arrangements to take an exam with extra time AND I have a
disability?
-Scheduling entry-level assessments for students with disabilities so they can get extra
9. time, a low-distraction environment or other accommodations. (The information from
advising says this, but sometimes students don't see it.)
Questions that should NOT be directed to the CLASS Office
-Anything having to do with a physical disability: hearing/vision impairments,
mobility/wheelchair, other health conditions. These go to Sadie Curtis (X1749)
-Anything having to do with scholarships for students with disabilities. We just refer
them back to Fin Aid or encourage them to seek out private sources. We also sometimes
refer them to TRiO.
-Housing for students with disabilities: Sadie Curtis in Access handles special housing
requests.
-Questions about the special education department. Usually they mean the academic
major in special education, so it's a good idea to ask them for clarification.
-"I need to take an exam outside of the classroom, but I don't have a disability." CLASS
only proctors exams for students working with our office or the Access Center. Other
students need to work with their professor to make arrangements.
-Tutoring questions. All students, including CLASS students, need to email
tutor@augsburg.edu

reslife@augsburg.edu
www.augsburg.edu/reslife
Mission:
The mission of Augsburg College's Department of Residence Life is to develop residents
who are both students and neighbors in an urban collegiate setting while being grounded
in liberal arts, intentional diversity, and faith.
Responsible through activism, leadership, awareness, acceptance, and developing
freedom with accountability through self-governance and community standards.

13. Enrollment Office
(612)330.1046
enroll@augsburg.edu
www.augsburg.edu/enroll
Mission:
Augsburg's Enrollment Center gives students the opportunity to take care of all the
"business" of college in one convenient location. At the Enrollment Center, students can
register for courses, make tuition payments, access student account information, or
request a transcript. Staff members are ready to assist you in all aspects of registration
and financing your education.
Students can also register for classes, print their schedules and view their active courses,
view their account activity, view statement archives, make a payment, request an official
transcript, view/print an unofficial transcript (grades), and request enrollment verification
online on Augnet.
Enrollment houses the following:
Academic Advising
Financial Aid
Registrar
Questions that should be directed to the Enrollment Office:
Questions regarding financial aid, questions about billing statements, how to make
payments, loan questions, payment plan options, how to apply for financial aid, credit
refunds, scholarship questions, account holds that restrict students from registering for
classes, discount programs, bus passes, and taking photo ID's. There might be more, but
I hope that gives you an idea of what we are able to answer. We can answer some
registration questions as well, but my preference is if that call is directed to the
Registrar's office.
Questions that should not be directed to the Enrollment Office:
Questions that we receive that should be directed elsewhere include anything from
needing to set up an appt with an Academic Advisor, Transcript requests, locating a
certain professor's phone number/office, orientation questions, admission calls, hours of
the bookstore, hours of the library, etc.
14. Registrar’s Office
(612)330.1036
registrar@augsburg.edu
www.augburg.edu/enroll/registrar
Mission:
The Registrar's Office is an integral component in Augsburg's service and support
structure. We provide a high level of service to students, faculty, and staff through
facilitating all aspects of the academic programs offered by the College. Our office goal
is to operate in a way that allows students and faculty to focus on academic, social, and
civic engagement, rather than focusing on administrative processes.
What we do:
The Registrar Office maintains the master course list, builds the course schedule for each
term, coordinates the academic calendars, and provides registration services to the
College. We are responsible for processing official transcript requests, evaluating all
transfer course work, and conducting degree audits for students nearing graduation. Staff
members also provide support to students withdrawing from college, students returning to
college after leave of absence, and students who receive Veterans Affairs education
benefits.
15. Academic Advising
(612)330.1025
advising@augsburg.edu
www.augsburg.edu/advising
Mission:
Academic Advising (AA) educates students, faculty, and staff on the Augsburg
curriculum; interprets academic policies and procedures; and supports students in
achieving their educational and vocational goals. Academic Advising is grounded in
Augsburg's mission: we focus on the liberal arts, faith and reason, civic engagement, and
intentional diversity. We believe that in additional to our connection with these
principles, we also play an important role in nurturing future leaders.
Questions we do not want:
Transfer credit evaluations, transcript requests, immunization holds, requesting an
unofficial evaluation of transfer credit, and the student standing petition process &
calendar. (Those go to Registrar)
Financial aid/student account questions because finances directly affect a student’s ability
to register. So what might be thought of as an advising question (help me register) is
really a financial aid question (an accounts receivable hold is preventing registration)
Prospective Students (admissions)
Orientation (SOAR)
WEC related calls (WEC)
Questions we do want:
Calls from current students with questions related to academic processes, requirements,
and guidance.
We also get calls from admitted/deposited students for intake advising.
We field calls when we're not really sure what the student is asking for.
16. Access Center

Mission:
TRiO/Student Support Services (SSS) is a relatively new program at Augsburg College.
The SSS program is one of three TRiO programs originally funded under the Higher
Education Act of 1965, whose objective is to help students overcome class, social and
cultural barriers to complete their college education. Funded by the U.S. Department of
Education, Student Support Services is committed to helping low-income, first-
generation college students, and students with disabilities achieve a bachelor's degree.
The program's mission is to increase the retention and graduation rates of these students
by offering academic and personal support.
19. StepUp
(612)330.1405
stepup@augsburg.edu
www.augsburg.edu/stepup
Mission:
In 1997, the Augsburg College StepUP Program was created to address the special needs
of students in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. At that time, the resources for
recovering college students were extremely limited. The original plan for the StepUP
Program included chemical free housing, a minimum sobriety requirement, weekly
individual meetings with staff, a contract calling for standards of behavior, and a weekly
community meeting.
As of the end of the 2006-2007 school year, StepUP has served the needs of 342 students.
Four full-time staff members have contact with the students on a daily basis. The
program has graduated hundreds of students to become useful members of society and
serve in a myriad of professional capacities.
The beginning of the 2007-08 school year marks a milestone in the history of StepUP as
offices and living quarters move to a new home in the Oren Gateway Center. The new
space will allow the program to serve a significantly larger number of students. The
addition of apartment style living will encourage students to participate in StepUP for
longer periods of time and to progress into mentor and leadership roles with younger
students.
What We Do:
• Affirm Augsburg's commitment to provide a high-quality liberal arts education
for students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and preparation.
• Provide ongoing support to students in recovery who are willing and able to
progress toward an academic degree.
• Support students committed to sobriety.

Affordability:
Augsburg awards several types of financial aid including "gift aid" (scholarships and
grants, both merit and need-based, from federal, state, or institutional sources), student
loans, and work-study.
How to Apply for Financial Aid:
First, attend a financial aid info session at Augsburg. We'll explain the process and help
you get started. Dates are on between January 1 and April 15 of your senior year of high
school; complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) Form. Receive
your financial aid pre-award letter and review it with a financial aid counselor. The
FAFSA is just the beginning. (We know...more paperwork!) In order to complete your
application and to finalize your award, we need an Augsburg verification worksheet and
copies of your federal income taxes (1040) or a statement of non-filing. You'll find forms
and instructions at the Financial Aid Office.
Estimating your Aid:
Your need-based financial aid is calculated using information gathered from the FAFSA,
which provides our financial aid office with your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC).
The EFC will be the same for every school to which you apply. We compare your EFC to
the total cost of attendance (tuition, fees, room and board, estimated cost of books,
transportations costs, and personal expenses) to determine your demonstrated need at
Augsburg.
37. It is important to note that although the FAFSA is a nationwide tool that takes certain
prescribed numbers and runs them through a standard formula, we look at each student
and family individually. If your family has a unique circumstance, such as impending
loss of a job, health issues, etc, which is not reflected on the FAFSA, contact our
Financial Aid office for instructions on how to communicate these circumstances.
Other Payment Options:
Full pay:
Pay fall costs in full by August 1, 2008
Pay spring costs in full by January 12, 2009
Monthly Payment Plan:
Make no-interest monthly payments using check, credit card, or automatic checking or
savings withdrawal. Go to www.afford.com/augsburg for information and to sign up. A
$65 annual enrollment fee (for the entire academic year) is due at the time of enrollment.

43. Masters in Physicians Assistant Studies
Application Deadlines:
CASPA: September 1, 2009
Supplemental Application: September 15, 2009
The Augsburg PA Program participates in the Centralized Application Service for
Physician Assistants (CASPA), which is sponsored by the Physician Assistant Education
Association (PAEA). All applications to the PA Program for the entering class must be
processed through CASPA, following all guidelines and regulations set forth by CASPA.
Your CASPA application is DUE SEPTEMBER 1, 2009 and your Augsburg PA Studies
Supplemental Application is DUE SEPTEMBER 15, 2009. You will be an eligible applicant
if: you have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (as officially calculated by CASPA), if you
have completed or will complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start date of the
program, and if you have completed or will complete your prerequisite courses within the
timeline specified for your situation.
The Supplemental Application becomes available the first week of May each year with
the opening of the ne w application cycle. It is important for the applicant to determine
whether he or she is in fact eligible to apply to the PA Studies Program, as the $25
Supplemental Application fee is non-refundable. You are an eligible applicant if you meet
the criteria detailed above. You will be required to print and sign the Supplemental
Application and mail it to the program by the application deadline of September 15.
Since all incoming students begin the course of study in late May, the application is thus
made approximately a year before matriculation.
The master's level program is 36 months in length. Studies begin in late May of each year.
Academic Training (19 months) The first 19 months of study involve didactic, or
classroom work, including courses in human gross anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical
medicine, pharmacotherapy, history & physical exam skills, research, and professional
issues.
Clinical Training (17 months) The clinical phase of the Physician Assistant Graduate
Program is 17 months in length. The initial 12 months is designed much like a physician's
internship. Each student is required to progress through seven required rotations in the
following disciplines: family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, general surgery,
women's health, emergency medicine, and psychiatry. Each of these rotations is six
weeks long. Additionally, within that first 12 months, each student will complete six
weeks total of selected electives from disciplines such as orthopedics, ENT, dermatology,
etc.
44. The mission of the Physician Assistant Program at Augsburg College is to provide
underserved populations and communities in Minnesota with generalist physician
assistants providing them with much needed health care. The clinical phase of the
program is designed to effectively train students for that type of practice by placing
students in health care facilities outside the metropolitan area for a minimum of t wo
rotations. Our goal is to provide students with one to two locations in which to complete
their required rotations to take away some of the financial and travel burdens that a PA
student often faces.
The Clinical Phase culminates with a t welve week preceptorship. This preceptorship is
designed to solidify the student's primary care skills, and potentially place them in a
setting that might be interested in recruiting a graduate PA. The preceptorship may be
completed within the community that the student has been in for the required rotations, or
may be else where in the state.
The clinical education is taught by physicians, and supplemented by Physician Assistants
and other health care providers. Each student is evaluated by the physician preceptor for
the designated rotation. Nine times during the clinical phase students will return to
Augsburg for testing as well as didactic and clinical skill workshops.
Affordability:
Tuition is $2,640.00 per course for the class entering May 2009.
The following is a list of the number of courses taken per year. College fees are estimated
to be $400 per year.
Year One: 9 Course
Year Two: 7 Courses
Year Three: 8 Courses
Lab Fees and Equipment: These costs are estimated to be $600 for lab fees ($200 per
semester in the academic phase) and $800 for medical equipment.
Books and Supplies: These costs are estimated to be $1,600 for the academic phase.
PA Enrollment Deposit: $500 (non-refundable) The enrollment deposit is required of all
new PA students after acceptance, and is credited to the student’s account to be applied to
their first semester tuition.
Payments and Financial: Aid Prior to the start of each semester a statement of estimated
charges and anticipated financial aid credits is mailed to students. For information on
financial aid, payment plans, tuition refunds, and withdrawal from college, contact the
45. Enrollment Center.
Elective International Experiences: There is additional cost associated with the master’s
project international experience. Students who choose this as their option for the written
master’s project can expect to pay between $2000.00- $5000.00 in addition to standard
PA course tuition. Costs change dependent upon the market, international site and length
of stay.

The Augsburg Master of Social Work program is a program of distinction and quality,
fully accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). Our purpose is to
prepare social work students for advanced, professional practice in public and non-profit

social work theory, policy, practice methods, skills training, research, and evaluation
techniques. Our class sizes of 10-25 offer you individualized attention from outstanding
faculty who are internationally known for their teaching and research. Adjunct faculty are
innovative practitioners and administrators from agency-based settings.
Field placements offer challenging and rewarding experiences in both urban and rural
settings, and include opportunities in culturally diverse settings. Additionally, we offer
trips abroad to compare social services of other countries, including Slovenia and China.

~To use a range of client-centered approaches to practice with client groups of all types
and sizes.
~To apply theories and methods of practice through the field placement experience;

the effectiveness of your social work practice and of social work programs.
48. Masters of Arts in Nursing
Admission Requirements
Qualified applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree in nursing or have an associate’s
degree in nursing in addition to a bachelor’s degree in another discipline. The cumulative
GPA requirement for all college coursework is 3.0. Applicants must also have experience
as a registered nurse and have professional liability insurance.
Admission Process
• Complete an admission application
• Submit a 2-3 page typed statement describing professional and education goals
• Request all official academic transcripts from previously attended post-secondary
institutions to be sent to the address below.
• Submit three letters of recommendation addressing character and ability. Two of
these recommendations must be from professional colleagues.
Thesis or Graduate Project
Students have two options for fulfilling their Master of Arts in Nursing final project,
which serves as the capstone of the master’s program: a graduate field project, or an
integrative master’s thesis.
The Graduate Field Project, NUR 525, is based on a self-selected issue relevant to
transcultural community health nursing, or nursing leadership. The student will focus
primarily on the application and integration of knowledge. Working with an adviser, the
student will design and/or implement and evaluate a model of advanced practice nursing
applied to solving a transcultural problem related to health inequities in a selected
community, or a nursing leadership issue.
The integrative thesis option, NUR 535, expands upon and/or extends theoretical
foundations or concepts identified in transcultural nursing, community health nursing,
and/or nursing leadership literature. The thesis project demonstrates the student’s ability
to do independent research involving the exposition of primary and secondary literature
appropriate to the topic, the collection and analysis of empirical data, and the articulation
of implications for advanced practice nursing.
