A FIG is a pre-packaged cluster of high-demand freshman courses that have been linked by a theme or academic program.
I like the idea of FIGs. Is the FIG Colloquium required to be in a FIG?
Yes, the one-hour FIG Colloquium is the lynchpin course for each FIG cluster. If you drop HUM1920 from your schedule, the remaining FIG courses will also be dropped. FIG Colloquium meets the Engage 100 course enrollment requirement.
If I find a FIG I want to register for, do I have to take all of the courses in it?
Yes! A FIG is a package deal. You cannot drop individual courses from a FIG cluster, so consult with your academic advisor before enrolling in a FIG to ensure classes in the cluster are appropriate given any accelerated or dual enrollment credits anticipated.
What if the FIG I want is closed?
Feel free to continue checking on availability, but know that it's a good idea to register for a backup schedule since there is no guarantee that the FIG you want will open. There may also be a FIG with similar classes, so make sure you look through all of the FIGs with themes or classes that interest you. There are no wait lists for FIGs.
Are FIGs offered anytime besides fall semester?
No. FIGs are only offered for fall semester.
I have a lot of Dual Enrollment and/or AP/IB/AICE/CLEP credit. What FIG should I take?
You should be careful, of course, to not enroll in any classes that you already have earned credit. You can should consult with your advisor to see if a FIG will be a good fit for your fall schedule given anticipated credit.
How will the FIG Colloquium course affect my GPA?
FIG Colloquium is a one-credit course, S/U graded credit and it will not figure into your GPA calculation.
I have a question that isn't answered here. What should I do?
You should speak with an academic advisor if you're at Orientation or, you may contact the FIG program directly at: FIGS@admin.fsu.edu. Please use your FSU student email.
