The council will discuss programs provided to first-year students that are supported by the New Student Enrollment & Orientation Fee (NSEOF) and decide if the proposed rate increases are justified. These programs include Advising & Orientation, Dawg Daze, First-year Interest Groups, Commuter & Transfer Commons, Academic Support Programs (CLUE/Tutor Mentor Program), UW CIRCLE Regional Connection Groups, and Office of Minority Affairs & Diversity/Undergraduate Academic Advising Peer Advising.  

Meetings will be held in the winter quarter. The council will have representatives from various student organizations along with first-year students at large.
