  1. First Year Experience & Learning Communities UC|Great Beginnings

  2. What is FYE?

  3. Learning Communities 2008-2009 • 117 Learning Communities across 8 schools and colleges • Approximately 1,800 first-year students enrolled • Nearly 70 upper-class Peer Leaders • LC Core • Great Beginnings Certificate Program • 57 Unique courses from 10 schools and colleges

  4. Drop Permission Reminder • When a student requests permission to drop a class, the advisor must send an email to Amanda Middleton including the student’s UCID number, the course and section that need to be dropped and why the course needs to be dropped • Once the drop permission has been approved by Amanda and entered into UniverSIS the student will receive an email (with the requesting advisor copied) letting them know that it is okay to drop

  5. A Student may drop a class if… • Autumn Quarter • The student MUST be in a Learning Community and no other LC fits • Examples: AP Credit for an Engineering student, Football practice for a CJ student • Winter/Spring Quarters • The student cannot continue with a course sequence • The course conflicts with an inflexible commitment • Examples: A student did not pass CHEM101 so cannot continue to CHEM102, Choir practice is only offered at a certain time.

  6. Remember… • Drop permission is no longer required after calendar day 21 of each quarter • Drop permission is never required for dropping the entire LC (15MLTI111) • Drop permissions are typically purged one week after they were granted

  7. Changes • Beginning with Spring we will be piloting a new course permission function for LCs • Deadlines for registration will be changing with the new permission system • If you are interested in joining the spring quarter pilot please contact Amanda Middleton ASAP
