How do I add a FIG? How do I drop a FIG?
It's very easy to add or drop a FIG from your schedule. In the FIG listing there
is one Schedule Line Number (SLN) for each FIG. Just use that number with the web
registration tool that you've learned about at Advising & Registration. The SLN
for each FIG will add or drop (depending on what you're doing) not only the GEN
ST 199 class, but all the other courses associated with the FIG.

What if the FIG I want is closed?
Feel free to continue checking this web page, but know that it's a good idea to
register for a backup schedule since there is no guarantee that the FIG you want
will open up. Also, there are a lot of FIGs with similar classes, so make sure
you look through all of the FIGs with themes or classes that interest you. There
are no waiting lists for FIGs.
