PLUNEWLUTEGUIDE

1

You will experience all sorts of individualized attention at PLU, and one of the very first is our personalized New Student Registration. It’s very important to all of us that you get off to an excellent start as a Lute. That’s why we spend extra, one-on-one time with you during New Student Registration to discuss your academic background, your preferred major(s) and your hopes for college, and to help you choose the right classes for Fall semester.

Everyone at PLU is eager to get to know you and help you succeed. Registration is just one way PLU makes your college experience uniquely yours:

• You’ll be assigned a personal academic advisor;

• Classes are small and taught by professors, with the highest degrees in their fields, who will know you;

• PLU guarantees that your first-semester classes will be the right start to your on-time graduation—and your Academic Advisor, along with helpful online tools, will keep you on track throughout your college career;

• Our First-Year Experience courses (see Page 8 for more) ease your personal transition to the academic rigors of college.

We invite you to join us on campus or via phone or Skype in June for New Student Registration.

FIRST-YEAR CLASSES FOR COLLEGE SUCCESS

FYEP 101: FIRST-YEAR WRITING SEMINAR (four credits) will be taken in your first Fall semester. With only 16 first-year students in each course, you will improve your college-level writing skills within the context of a unique topic that interests you.

FYEP 190: FIRST-YEAR INQUIRY SEMINAR (four credits) may be taken during January Term or Spring semester. During your inquiry seminar, you will be introduced to a field of study with about 20 other first-year students.

FOR YOU TO DO!List the seminars that most interest you:

PSYC 113: CAREER & EDUCATIONAL PLANNING (one credit)Career and Educational Planning is for students who are interested in exploring academic majors and minors at PLU and future careers.

STEP FIVE STEP SIXCRAFTING A COURSE SCHEDULE

SAMPLE SCHEDULES

Most students take 12-13 credits during their first semester at PLU (full-time enrollment is 12-17 credits per semester). Since most classes are four credits, a 12-credit load would include three classes. To put together a complete (and manageable) first-semester schedule, consider one FYEP course (see Page 6), one General Education course (see Page 5) and one course that explores your potential major.

Considering a Spring sport?

Athletes with competitive seasons in the Spring are advised to take a heavier course load (16 credits) in the Fall.

THE FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE

8

Everyone at PLU works together to ensure that your first year at PLU is a success on every level—from introducing you to university life to providing challenge and support throughout the year.

Our First-Year Experience Program (FYEP) is unique because PLU’s blend of academically rigorous liberal arts and professional programs is so unique—and we are committed to helping you thrive through it all.

In supporting your successful transition to college, FYEP creates small learning communities that emphasize three foundational skills and values: literacy, critical reflection and community.

As a result, all first-year students take two FYEP seminars:

1. FYEP 101: Writing Through Inquiry seminars focus on timely topics and themes that encourage reflection, dialogue, debate and effective writing.

2. FYEP 190: Inquiry in the Disciplines introduces methods and topics of study within a particular discipline to build critical thinking, reading and discussion.

LEARN MORE


+

9

In addition to a regular slate of other courses each semester, all first-year students enroll inan intensive, one-month, four-credit course inJanuary (which we call J-Term).

But your first year isn’t all work and no play! FYEP also offers community-building activities throughout the year, including:

1. The Common Reading Program. So that every student starts at PLU with at least one shared experience, students, faculty and staff read the same book over the summer in preparation for Fall Orientation book discussions.

THE FIRST-YEAR EXPERIENCE

2. The Annual Explore! Retreat. In early January, first-year students gather off-campus to examine vocation, “big enough” questions and character strengths that support college and career success.

All told, the entire PLU community commits to help you get situated; connect with services that address your social, emotional and learning needs; and succeed throughout your first year—and beyond.

RESIDENTIAL LIFE

WELCOME HOME TO PLU!Living on campus is an integral component of The PLU Experience. At PLU, we call our living facilities “residence halls” because they are SO much more than a “dorm”: Our 10 dynamic on-campus living and learning environments are fun, supportive, convenient—and a terrific value on many levels.

COST e Remember: Financial aid also

applies to room and board—meaning savings of up to $3,500 off the “sticker price.”

e Commuting costs more than you might think: Consider gas, parking, food… and your valuable time.

BENEFITS Students who live on campus have:

e a built-in community to share fun, meals, studying and more;

e support and resources nearby, with a live-in professional Resident Director and a trained student Resident Assistant right down the hall.
