Each section of the course will have upper division students who serve as peer mentors. These trained student leaders will help you learn about the campus and identify resources and services. Through First Year Studies, you will have an immediate connection to one faculty member and two undergraduate mentors who are committed to helping you succeed in your first semester experience at UT. You will receive one hour elective credit for this A-C/NC graded course. Since elective credit hours are required in all undergraduate majors at the University, taking First Year Studies will count as graduation credit toward all academic programs at the University. As you discuss your fall term schedule, ask your college academic advisor how to register for First Year Studies. FYS is an excellent way for you to become part of the University of Tennessee community, to examine personal interests and strengths, and to share ideas and solutions to problems in a small class environment. Many students claim that it was the community experience of their First Year Studies course that made the difference in their UT experience.
