Freshman College students are required to register for six semester hours from a specific list of offered courses. Three semester hours will come from the general education curriculum (see list below) and the remaining three hours come from elective degree credit courses consisting of either UNIV 1102 (Learning to Learn: 3 hours) or a combination of UNIV 1113 (University Success for Freshman: 2 hours) and FRES 1020 (Freshman Book Seminar: 1 hour). All Freshman College courses provide academic credit toward graduation. As a participant in the Freshman College you are responsible for completing all of the courses for which you register. This will require a dedicated time commitment on your part as the classroom requirements will be demanding.

Important Academic Details

• A normal semester lasts approximately 15 weeks during the academic year. Freshman College courses cover the same amount of material in only 4 weeks. One day of class during Freshman College is the equivalent of one week of class during a regular semester. The coursework is designed to be challenging and the pace is fast!
• You will attend class for 4 ½ hours a day, Monday through Friday. Morning classes are held from 9:15 AM to 11:30 AM and afternoon classes are held from 1:00 PM to 3:15 PM.
• Registration for your Freshman College courses occurs during the UGA First-Year Orientation. Students will also register for fall semester courses at this time. This year’s Orientation session is scheduled for June 28 – June 29, 2010.
• Freshman College courses offer students a smaller class setting. As such, seating is limited and your first choice could already be full when you register. Approach registration with an open mind and remember that all of our courses and instructors are exceptional. Each course will offer you a valuable learning experience and you will have ample opportunities to enroll in other classes during the regular academic year.
