face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Just a reminder that at
the February 27, 2007, meeting, Deans Council unanimously approved
requiring all new first-time/full-time students with less than 30 semester
credit hours to enroll in a one-hour First-Year Success Seminar (FSS).
Course sections will be offered by each college. The course is entitled Theory
and Application of Learning and Critical Thinking on our course inventory and
various sections are listed for each college in the fall schedule. Most
sections will meet for the first eight weeks of the semester. We ask that all
advisors please include a section in the fall schedules of our first-year
students (sections have been created with college prefixes for students based
on their academic majors or areas of interest and there are designated sections
within each college for undeclared majors). All sections of the course
will use the same textbook and have a common syllabus. Therefore, if there are
problems scheduling a student in the section designated for his/her major, the
student may be placed in another section of the course with the college
prefix. Dr. Bill Thompson is coordinating the First-Year Success (FSS)
initiative. If you have any questions, please contact him for assistance.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
