Who is Eligible?
All
degree-seeking DePaul undergraduate students are eligible to participate
in FYAS. We provide the opportunity to take one or more math, chemistry
or writing prerequisite courses to first-year, transfer, and current
DePaul undergraduates. These prerequisite courses are also during the
academic year: however, we offer students the opportunity to complete
the courses over the summer and during winter intersession tuition-free. Students are encouraged to participate in FYAS at the beginning of their undergraduate career. However, participation is limited to two classes in their first year to ensure that students complete their math requirements in a timely manner.
If you are unsure if you are eligible for FYAS, contact our office by phone (773-325-7426) or email (fyas@depaul.edu).
