MSCS Course Waitlists and Information

Check back to this page for changes or updates!

ACTC Students

  • Our first priority is to give seats to Macalester students in our classes.
  • 100-level and 200-level courses in MSCS are closed to ACTC students until the last day of Macalester’s registration. Students interested in those courses might look at waitlist information for the course below.
  • 300-level and 400-level courses in MSCS are not restricted for ACTC students, though students will need overrides for prerequisites and sometimes permission in order to register. See courses information below.
  • ACTC students who need courses for their major/minor (especially when their home institution does not offer such classes), should contact Alicia Johnson ([email protected]) as early as possible, even prior to the registration period, to see if we can reserve seats in classes.
