FIGs - Freshman Interest Groups
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FIG GROUPS FOR FALL 2009:
DUE TO CURRICULUM CHANGES TAKING PLACE THIS YEAR SOME OF THE FRESHMAN INTEREST GROUPS MAY BE CHANGED. UNTIL THESE CHANGES HAVE BEEN FINALIZED PLEASE REGISTER FOR AN INTEREST GROUP IN YOUR INTENDED MAJOR. ONCE DECISIONS HAVE BEEN FINALIZED YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED IF THE FIG YOU ENROLLED IN IS STILL AVAILABLE. (Faculty will be making this decision sometime in February 2009.)
IF YOU PLAN TO LIVE ON CAMPUS AND WISH TO LIVE IN SENAT HALL, YOU NEED TO MAKE SENAT HALL YOUR FIRST CHOICE ON YOUR HOUSING CONTRACT AND MARK IT ON YOUR FIG ENROLLMENT FORM. (This does not guarantee you will be placed in Senat Hall, but you must request Senat Hall if you want to be considered for housing there. The decision as to who is placed in Senat Hall will not be made until April or May of 2009. The criteria is based upon many different factors and not based solely on first come first serve.) Students
Unique to Penn State Behrend!
