The American Campus Ltd Private
The American Campus (TAC) is a new institution of higher education designed to offer a quality, cost-effective American education to Mauritian students as well as those from across Africa and Asia. TAC was founded by a broad coalition of U.S. educators with substantial and varied experience. The learning and teaching techniques are based on the American model of active and applied academic learning.
TAC provides a superior educational experience to nurture students’ personal and career goals, qualifying them for immediate entry into the workplace after graduation, and setting them up for success in their chosen career. We achieve this by being well-informed about trends and opportunities in the regional job markets, and by collaborating with American university partners to offer meaningful programs on campus. Beyond academic experience, students at TAC gain a supporting network of mentors and build relationships with potential employers through internships, community service, and applied research.

Registration
Before each semester, students will be required to register with the University before they can commence
their studies. Students will enter their programs with a cohort of 20-25 students. Registration in your first
year begins with a discussion with academic staff about the program and courses you wish to take. This may
be completed in person or through a face-to-face online discussion. During subsequent semesters the
registration process will be completed fully online.
The lecture timetable, examination timetable, and monitoring of attendance all use information collected by
the Records Office indicating each student’s successful completion of each course.
Changes to Registration
If students want to change their program, they must speak to a member of the advising team and fill out a
Change of Registration Form. The main office and the Advising Center have these available. Students will
need to obtain a signature from the department chair whose program they are leaving, and from the
department whose program they are moving to, and from an advisor. The advisor will support students in
determining what degree major best meets their professional and personal objectives.
Provisional Registration
Two weeks before the semester starts, students are expected to provisionally register for the courses which
they hope to study during the next academic year. It should be noted that not all courses are offered every
year. Since students are taking courses as a cohort group, it is important for students to seek assistance if
they are having difficulties with any course in which they are enrolled.
Course Schedule
Students will receive an individual course schedule and contact information for course instructors at the
beginning of each semester. It may not include all your commitments so please pay attention to emails and
other announcements about this. It is sometimes necessary to make changes to the course schedule
regarding time and classroom. Any changes will be communicated through Canvas (the online education
portal used for all classes), via e-mail and on the digital display monitors in the main student area.
