Locations
In this building, you might find help for paying your school bills at the Office of Financial Aid
Seminary Hall
Growing out of Augie's roots as a Lutheran college, students are required to take one course with this suffix. Courses may focus on topic such as Christian Ethics, Jewish & Christian Scripture, and more.
REF: Reason Examination of Faith
Simply using one of these (digital or physical) will help you keep your events and due dates straight, in addition to helping you remember what day it is.
A calendar
This platform, used by many professors at Augie, may house your course syllabi, assignments, and communications. For our class, you submit all your work through it.
Moodle
Our mascot is named this, which is a play on the name of a famous late-Romantic composer.
Gustav Mauler
This Office, located in Founders Hall, can help you with Arches, registering/withdrawing/dropping courses, filing overload appeals, final exam petitions, and more.
Registrar or Office of the Registrar
Consider taking MUSC-133 Video Game Music, GRD-225 Intro to Graphic Design, or any class with this perspective to explore your aesthetic understanding.
PA: Perspective on the Arts
Do this to plan to get your homework and studying done in an efficient and official-feeling way. If you do it correctly, you'll treat doing your work as almost another class so you can best keep up.
Set times/pick places to study
Visit this platform to look up classes, register for classes, and evaluate your academic program.
Arches
Denkmann Hall, now the home of the World Languages department, Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center, and Wallenberg Hall was originally the campus' first of these. It now lives in the lower level of Gerber.
Library
Everyone needs support. This office, in Founders 211, can provide you with individual or group meetings as well as resources to support your mental wellbeing.
The Counseling Center
HIST-250 Parade of Nations, MUSC-132 Music & Activism, or other courses with this perspective are sure ways to help you learn your history so you're not, as George Santayana said, condemned to repeat it!.
PP: Perspective on the Past
Although it may seem counterintuitive, you need to do this when working in order to stay fresh and focused. Try the Pomodoro effect and use a timer to help you remember.
Take breaks
This digital platform includes some information about you, but really is a portal for you to seek tutoring help and to see progress reports from those in your support network (flags and kudos).
Starfish
Earlier in Augustana's existence, the campus was very small and only a collection of a few buildings. Augie was gifted a large segment of land that was originally a pasture for this animal. Even though this gift massively expanded campus, it required the construction of fences to keep those same animals from roaming campus.
Cow
This location on campus is a favorite among many and looks particularly lovely around now with the changing colors. Visit it for the wildlife, to take a little hike, or to get to campus housing.
The Slough
You might take PHIL-101 Knowing & Being or other courses with this perspective to come to grips with your existence and ethics.
PH: Perspective on Human Values
By identifying and avoiding these, you can work better to manage your time. Just know that you might have to tell some people to go away when you're working.
Time wasters/mind traps
Perform this process on Arches to see your progress toward a specific major and/or minor. You can also check to see how your current courses align with the requirements of other majors.
Program evaluations
Part of Augie traditions includes ringing this large, flat percussion instrument when you commit to attending Augustana College. Even if you didn't do this due to the pandemic, someone rang it for you here on campus.
A gong
This office, located in Olin 318, will help you with academic accommodations and resources, provided that you have documentation of your needs.
The Office of Disability Services
Some courses let you double dip with a perspective and a suffix. For example, GEOG-130 Geography of World Regions and MUSC-300 World Music both offer you a Perspective on Individual and Society as well as this suffix which focus on exploring diversity outside of the U.S. But, don't like the word "diversity" mislead you on the name of this suffix.
G: Global, Global Perspectives
You can plan ahead and manage your time better if you work backward and do this with large projects to make them more manageable.
Break them into smaller steps
This person is responsible for keeping up with emails, assignments, course requirements, and your academic progress toward graduation.
Me/you
One donor was sad that so many Augie students spent their whole four years on campus rushing from class to class without noticing the beauty of campus. So, the donor game money to place brass statues of these creatures high up on buildings such as Bergendoff, Evald, and Gerber, along with six other spots on campus to encourage students to look and see the beauty of Augie.
