How to choose a section of FYS 10101

FYS 10101 and FYS 10102, also known as the Moreau course, consists of over one hundred sections of approximately 19 students each. All sections share an identical syllabus but meet at various times throughout the week. FYS 10101 takes place in the fall and FYS 10102 takes place in the spring.

As a means of enriching the integration of your intellectual, extracurricular, and residential experiences, you must register for a FYS 10101 section that corresponds to your housing assignment. We call the result of this process the “Moreau Neighborhoods.”

This registration procedure ensures that your FYS 10101 section will include classmates from your own residential community and residential communities in close proximity to your own. This intentional blend of your intellectual and residential communities seeks to help you find a sense of belonging on campus and integrate the curricular and co-curricular facets of your personal development.

How to Register for FYS 10101 (Moreau)

Follow the directions below to identify which FYS 10101 sections are available to you for registration. When it comes time to register, register for a FYS 10101 section (FYS 10101-XX) that is listed under your residential community.

Special Note: In NOVO, all students are pre-registered for an FYS 10000-XX section. FYS 10000 is not a course. Rather, it is NOVO terminology for your pre-assigned “FYS Moreau Neighborhood.” For example, FYS 10000-01 is "Neighborhood #1 Co-requisite for Moreau." In "Section Notes," you can see that Neighborhood #1 is for North Quad residence halls.

In July, you will receive notice of your housing assignment and your new residence hall community from the Office of Residential Life.

You'll Likely Receive an Error Message in PATH

Did you get a "Corequisite FYS 10000 required" error message in PATH? PATH doesn't recognize courses in which you've already been registered (in this case, FYS 10000). You will receive this error message regardless of which section of FYS 10101 you add to your PATH plan. Ignore this message for FYS 10101.

Class Duration Times

FYS 10101 sections meet in one of two possible durations. Some sections (like FYS 10101-03) meet 75 minutes weekly for 10 total class sessions. Other sections (like FYS 10101-01) meet 50 minutes weekly for 13 total class sessions. Regardless of their class duration, all sections share identical student expectations.

Troubleshooting

Did you get a “Corequisite Not Met” error message in NOVO regarding your Moreau section? You’ve likely attempted to register for a Moreau FYE section (FYS 10101-XX) that does not correspond with your pre-assigned Moreau Neighborhood (FYS 10000-XX). Check the "Fall 2024 Moreau Neighborhoods" list and select a section within your residential community.
Does it look like your Moreau Neighborhood (FYS 10000) is full? You don’t need to worry about “available seats” in any FYS 10000 Neighborhood. PATH doesn't recognize courses in which you've already been registered (in this case, FYS 10000). When choosing a Moreau FYE section, consider only the “available seats” within FYS 10101 sections.
What if I want to register for a Moreau FYE section that is already full? Seats in each FYS 10101 section will be added periodically throughout first-year registration days. Be sure to register for a section upon your registration time ticket. Then, throughout the registration period, return to see if new seats have been added to allow for more room in any other FYS 10101 of your interest.
Having trouble finding a Moreau section that works for your schedule? If it is impossible for you to find a FYS 10101 section within your Moreau Neighborhood (FYS 10000) that works with your schedule, contact your First Year Advisor.
