AUGUSTANA WORKSHOP POLICIES
Who Can Take Augustana Workshops?
Workshops are open to all adults. Students in high school must be entering their senior year in order to receive college credit. Workshops listed as 359/559 may be taken as undergraduate (359) or graduate (559) credit. Those listed as 659 are for graduate credit only. Students cannot change registration from graduate to undergraduate (or vice versa) nor from credit to non-credit (or vice versa) after the instructor has sent the registration cards to Augustana.
All workshops meet teacher certification/re-certification requirements as defined by the South Dakota State Department of Education unless noted.
What Is The Cost of a Workshop?
The cost per one credit hour workshop is $120. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration, the balance to be paid the first day of the workshop. If you are an educator who has had an Augustana student teacher under your supervision within the past two years, you may be eligible to take a workshop for half-price. Contact the Education Department (274-4629) to inquire about receiving a voucher, which is redeemed when you register.
How Do I Register for Workshops?
Students may pre-register for workshops by mail, telephone or in person any time prior to the beginning of the workshop. A $50 non-refundable deposit will be required for each workshop registration. The $50 deposit is transferable up to two (2) weeks prior to the workshop and only within the same term. All unused deposits will be forfeited at the end of each term.
If registering by phone, you may call 274-4126 between the hours of 8:00 am - 5:00 pm. Registrations in person will be accepted at the Office of Academic Affairs, located on the 2nd floor of the Administration Building.

How Are Workshops Graded?
Workshops are graded either Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory (S or U) or with A-F letter grades. Students must choose one form of grading, and cannot change to a different form after registration cards have been submitted to Augustana College. The criteria for S/U grades are as follows: graduate students must earn a grade of B- or better to receive an S. Undergraduate students must earn a C- or better for an S. After grades have been received and processed a grade report will be sent to the student.

Summit Ave, Sioux Falls, SD 57197, or faxing a request to 274-4450.
