1. Who is eligible to attend the conference?

   • The conference is open to undergraduate and graduate students, non-profit professionals, pastors, professors, business people, and anyone interested in deepening their understanding of the integration of sound economics, rigorous philosophy, and the Judeo-Christian faith.

2. What qualifies someone as an Acton Alumnus?

   • If you have previously attended a Toward a Free and Virtuous Society, Acton Symposium, Acton University, or Toward a Free and Virtuous City conference you qualify as an Acton Alumni.

3. When I'm filling out the registration form, why can't I choose certain courses?

   • Javascript must be enabled on your computer in order to fill out the registration form.
   • FND courses are for non-Alumni only. During this time Alumni may chose from alternative course offerings.

4. What are the foundational lectures?

   • The foundational lectures (FND) are core courses that offer participants a framework and context rooted in Judeo-Christian anthropology. These courses are a vital first step in the exploration of the various themes and topics addressed throughout the week. We require that all non-Alumni take the 4 course FND series.

5. Is it possible to bypass the foundational lectures?

   • Acton Institute will be offering the four foundational courses as the pilot series of AU Online, a new internet-based educational resource for exploring the intellectual foundations of a free and virtuous society. This 4 part Foundational Series will take place twice a week December 6-15, 2011. Participants who attend this series will have the chance to bypass the foundational lectures at the Acton University conference. Visit auonline.acton.org for more information.
