What courses will I take in my first semester?

How your first semester schedule works

You don¡¯t have to build your schedule on your own. An advisor in the Learning Commons will create your first-semester schedule before Orientation using:

• Graduation requirements (general education and major)
• Your academic and career interests
• Placement results (math and/or language, if needed)
• Any college credit you¡¯ve earned
• Scholarship or athletic requirements
• Your course preferences

Which classes will I take?

Most first-year students are enrolled in:

• FYI 101 (or Honors FYI 101)
• FYI 100, a course designed to help you succeed in college
• General education courses (Learning Perspectives)
• Any recommended support courses
• Required scholarship or athletic courses (if applicable)

You might not be in a course in your major right away ¡ª that¡¯s normal. Many majors do not have required coursework in the first semester. Additionally, you will have an opportunity to speak to an advisor, review your schedule, and register for a J-term class when you attend Orientation and Registration.
