"If you can, take a TrIG. Don't worry that you won't fit in and don't wait until after your first quarter to start getting involved. The UW has so many services, resources, and opportunities that you will have to find and pick those that are a match for your interest. There are far too many to take advantage of them all, but that is a good thing."
What is a TrIG?Most TrIGs consist of one or two departmental courses that you take along with other transfer students. Each TrIG also contains General Studies 199: The University Community; this two-credit class, which meets each week of autumn quarter, is facilitated by a TrIG Leader, who is a UW undergraduate and a former transfer student. A handful of themed TrIGs are offered stand-alone and can be combined with any class schedule. |
Why should I take a TrIG?TrIGs give you the opportunity to meet other students with the same academic interests, get connected with an academic department, familiarize yourself with the larger university community, and learn how to complement your University experience both socially and academically. |
How do I take a TrIG?First, attend your Advising & Orientation date over the summer. Once eligible to register for classes, you may register using the SLN (Schedule Line Number) next to the TrIG name on the list of TrIGs below. Note: TrIG clusters can't be broken up. You must take the entire set of courses in the TrIG or not take the TrIG at all. |
