The First-Year Advising Seminars (FAS) program, offered by the Office of the First Year, is one advising option available to first year students. It is available only during the first term to first year students, who must apply online. A First-Year Advising Seminar is typically led by a faculty member who also serves as the first year advisor to the small group of seminar advisees. While FASes vary in style and topic, most are oriented to group discussion and offer an opportunity to interact closely with faculty. All Advising Seminars receive six units of credit and are graded P/D/F.
