Intercollege Students

ACU students may apply for approval to register in courses at Hardin-Simmons University (HSU) or McMurry University. Under the intercollege agreement, courses taken at HSU or McMurry count toward hours and GPA at ACU.

Complete an Intercollege Enrollment Application in the Registrar's office (AD 207). Obtain the required signatures (advisor, department chair, Student Financial Services and Registrar's office) prior to registering for classes at HSU or McMurry.

HSU and McMurry students should complete the following steps to register for courses at ACU to count toward their degrees at HSU and McMurry:

  • Complete an Intercollege Enrollment Permit at HSU or McMurry prior to registering for classes at ACU.
  • Bring your Intercollege Permit (with all required signatures) to the ACU Registrar's office in the Administration Building, Room 207, to register for your classes. If your permit is "for grades only," you must visit with Student Financial Services in the Welcome Center, Zellner Hall, to make payment.

NOTE: ACU, HSU and McMurry students must drop intercollegiate courses through both Registrars' offices to receive proper refunds.

Grades and financial charges are handled by the school in which the student is matriculated. Questions about registration should be directed to the ACU Registrar's office at 915-674-2235.

Special Students

Students who have completed high school or their GED and are not seeking a college degree do not have to go through the regular admission process to be allowed to register for classes. ACU assumes that these students know what courses they want and are qualified to take. If they wish to speak with an advisor, they should consult the advising contact list on page 34. Students who later decide to continue their work at ACU will be expected to apply at that time for admission, as specified in the current Undergraduate/Graduate Catalog.

Register by completing a "Special Student Application" in the Registrar's office (AD 207). You must provide a copy of your official high school transcript or GED certificate.
