Floor Community Eligibility
First-Year Interest Groups
In order to join a First-Year Interest Group, you must:
- Be admitted to the University of Wyoming as a first-time first-year student.
- Complete the Residence Life and Dining Services Contract contract and live in the Residence Halls your first year.
- Talk to your coach, if you are an athlete, to determine if a FIG will be a good fit for you.
- Understand that you will be assigned to the appropriate FIG floor or pod in the Residence Halls, and that the FIG assignment will take priority over any other living plan choices marked on your housing contract.
- Understand that you will be enrolled into the FIG sections of the FIG courses, and that you must remain enrolled in these sections.
- Meet any pre-requisites for courses that are included in the FIG (specifically, meet the appropriate math pre-requisites if the FIG includes LIFE 1010 or CHEM 1020).
- Be ready to join a community of learners -- both students and faculty -- who share your interests!
When you fill out your Housing Application, you will have a chance to select your top three preferences for FIGs (Living Learning Communiites).
