Macalester is a member of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), a consortium of five liberal arts colleges in Saint Paul and Minneapolis formed to develop cooperative programs and offer cross-registration to their students.
Other members include University of St. Thomas, Augsburg University, Hamline University, and St. Catherine University.
In addition to over 800 courses available on campus, Macalester students have access to all courses offered through the consortium without paying additional tuition.
ACTC provides free busing between the campuses to all students.

Macalester also has an agreement with the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) whereby students may take one course per term at that college, provided that Macalester has approved the course.
