Q: How do I enroll?

A: FIG registration is during Freshman Orientation, or email.  Ask your Academic Advisors.

Q: Does joining a FIG commit me to the major?

A: Not at all. Students are admitted into majors after meeting lower-division requirements. FIGs can give you a head start on fulfilling UCC and pre-requisite requirements and exploring your special interests.

Q: Why join a FIG?

A: FIGs meet University graduation and intended-major requirements, guarantee course selection and schedule, provide additional support by peers and faculty, and encourage learning across the disciplines. FIGs transform the large university experience into smaller learning communities and help you make friends.

Q: How big is a FIG?

A: Each FIG is limited to twenty-five students. You’ll meet together for Freshman Composition and Freshman Experience (and science labs, if your FIG has one), and then combine with other FIGs in larger sections for other classes.
