The Student Counseling Service supplements the other counseling services on campus. Counselors are available to all Augustana students who may desire or need help in understanding personal, vocational or specific educational problems and their solutions. It is not a psychiatric clinic, but is concerned with the normal range of problems encountered by the typical student. The vocational testing and interpretation service is particularly helpful to students. The number of academic credits assigned to a course is based on the amount of work required in the course.
Courses carry from one to nine credits, but nearly all offer three credits.
A full-time student carries eight or more credits. Audit hours do not count toward full-time status but are included in calculating tuition charges. A part-time student carries less than eight credits. Students not working toward a degree, such as post-baccalaureate students, are classified as special students. Course Load Full-time tuition for only one term covers enrollment in up to 11 credits of instruction.
