Winter Start ProgramApproximately 30 students are expected
to enter the freshman class in Spring 2010. These students are free
during the fall for work, travel, or off-campus study, and begin their
studies in January. Although it will not be required, winter start students
will be encouraged to stay for the college’s impressive Summer Session so that they
can start the following fall with sophomore standing.

FYE Course Selection Procedure |
| Using the FYE Course Registration Form, select eight options for
your First Year Experience Course from the FYE course descriptions.
Read the information in each course description carefully. |
Guidelines for FYE Points |
You have 20 points with which to bid on your eight choices. If more
students attempt to enroll in a course than the course will hold,
those who have placed the greatest number of points on that course
will be admitted first (FYE courses are capped at 16 students for
a single-instructor course and at 25 students for a team-taught course).
Thus, if you feel equally inclined toward your top eight choices,
you might put close to equal points (using whole numbers only) on
each one. On the other hand, if you greatly prefer one course to the
others, you should place extra points on that course but should still
select eight in all. We recommend that you do not place all of your
points on one course. If we are unable to place you in this course,
despite your bid of twenty points, we would have no way of knowing
the relative weight you assign your other seven choices. You may,
however, put “0” points on courses of low priority. Please
do not list only one or two courses as we have no way of knowing what
your other choices might be if there are no spaces available in the
one or two courses you listed. |
