Freshman Interest Groups are only available in the fall term and enrollment is limited to new first-year students. FIGs provide a way for new students to connect with a group of students sharing similar interests. Registering for a FIG will place you and your fellow FIG participants in a set of classes that have a theme such as business or communication. Classes in each FIG cluster vary to meet a variety of student class registration needs.
Students should consult with their academic advisor before selecting or enrolling in a FIG.
What FIGs are available?
FIGS change from year to year. A list of FIG clusters available for fall will be posted on the FIG website in May, prior to the start of New Nole Orientation sessions.
What is FIG Colloquium?
IDS1921 FIG Colloquium is a small class facilitated by a highly trained and experienced undergraduate student, and it is designed to provide you a set of experiences that will introduce you to the academic culture at Florida State University. The course is required to participate in a FIG, it meets weekly, and is 1-credit hour, S/U graded.
Can I drop a course from my FIG cluster?
Individual classes will not be dropped from the FIG cluster due to prior earned credit, so consult with an academic advisor to select an appropriate FIG given any earned or anticipated accelerated credit. Questions? Contact FIGS@fsu.edu
I have a question that isn't answered here. What should I do?
