一年级的课程

All first-year students are required to register for a four-credit 一年级的课程 (FSEM)during the fall quarter. The FSEM is the first course in the Common Curriculum, introducing students to the academic values 和 norms of the DU community. Each FSEM is taught by an FSEM faculty mentor who facilitates learning on subjects they are passionate about 和 additionally, sets expectations for students to hone academic skills essential for successful college work.

最基本的

The FSEM is designed to provide an opportunity for first-year students to engage with their faculty 和 peers in a small class environment during the fall quarter. The FSEM faculty mentor serves as the primary support for first-year students enrolled in their FSEM course.

Before fall quarter begins, students meet 和 go through Discoveries Orientation with their FSEM classes. Throughout the fall quarter, students meet 4 hours a week with their FSEM class further developing a sense of connection 和 belonging to the DU community. After the end of the fall quarter, the FSEM faculty mentor will continue to meet with each student during winter 和 spring quarters to provide consistent mentoring, 和 support.

如何登记

一年级 students will register for the FSEM course during New Student 登记. Students should explore the 课程描述 to find the FSEM courses they find interesting! It is recommended that students select at least five FSEM courses in preparation for New Student 登记 the week of July 22. We encourage students to take something that sparks their curiosity 和 perhaps pushes them outside their comfort zone.
