All incoming first-year students will have multiple sources of good advice about Colorado College. In addition to your faculty advisor and your First Course instructor (advisor and instructor may be the same person, by the way), you'll have access to the insights of an experienced Colorado College student in our FYE Mentor Program.
First-Year Experience mentors are selected by the faculty teaching in the first-year program and are associated with the particular courses in the FYE schedule. It is an honor to be selected as a FYE mentor, and our students take the honor very seriously. FYE mentors will not replace the important formal advising system, but may supplement it with practical, first-hand, 'on-the-ground' advice about courses, campus organizations and informal groups, and the local Colorado Springs area. Please take the initiative in speaking with your FYE mentor, getting to know him or her, and taking advantage of the perspective she or he brings to the experience of student life at Colorado College!
Your FYE Mentor may:
- work with you as appropriate in review for your course assignments,
discuss the readings and participate in course-related group projects
and accompany you on course-related excursions and events.
- offer a number of informal ‘first-year’ introduction-to-college
sessions;
- introduce you to the block plan and offer advice about prioritizing
academic commitments, college community responsibilities, and social
life;
- introduce you to campus activities and student committees;
- arrange occasional social events and informal discussion sessions
for you and your fellow First Course classmates throughout the year;
introduce you to the Colorado Springs community and region;
- provide informal advice about courses and the general design of the
first-year academic schedule in block two prior to preregistration for
blocks 3-8;
- offer pragmatic information (from a student's perspective!) about
the point system and course selection before all-college preregistration
in block 7.
