In addition to confirming your meeting location, you will also be able to confirm your meeting time. Students in virtual FSEMs will not need to go to their classroom during their class meeting time.
Transfer students with more than 24 credits are not required to take an FSEM. You will find your FOCUS Leader's name in the "Faculty" column to determine your FOCUS Group meeting location.
