What is a Freshman Interest Group (FIG)?
A FIG is a group of 20 to 25 new UW freshmen with similar academic interests who are enrolled in the same schedule of classes during their first quarter on campus. Visit First Year Programs for information about FIG content and FIG registration. If a History section course is part of a FIG, students who are not enrolled in the FIG generally cannot register for that section.
