Freshman and Transfer Seminars. Through Freshman and Transfer Seminars, new students have the opportunity to participate in one-unit seminars designed to both introduce them to the research university and facilitate connections with a faculty member and fellow students in a small academic setting. UCI funding for freshman and transfer seminars has been eliminated for 2009-10, which accounts for the very small number of seminars being offered this year. The following enrollment tables include the number of seminars taught each quarter and the total student enrollment by class level.
