First Year Registration Foundations Questions

Use the flow of questions and chart below to determine which Registration Foundation option is best for your department.

  1. Do you want your students to attend the Q&A Academic Interest sessions with College of Arts & Sciences advisers for Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences or Math & Science topics? 
    • Yes→ for "Option" select Standard
    • No → for "Option" select Extended
  2. Are you hosting FY INTL and FY US populations on the same day?
    • Yes → for "Option" you may select Combo, but don't have to (see question 3)
    • No → for "Option" select Solo 
  3. Do you want to see your FY INTL and FY US students together in the same space? 
    • Yes → for "Option" select Combo. For the extended option, note that the INTL students will have to leave at 10:45 am partway into the session, and the US students will stay for 1 more hour
    • No → for "Option" select Solo
  4. Do you need support in your Zoom room for this session?
    • Yes → Do you have students that you can hire and train that NSTP can pay for? Or do you need NSTP to hire students for your session (it is very unlikely the NSTP student will be in your department's major)
    • No→ Please let NSTP know
