- Take a lighter load during autumn quarter. The 5 credits you earn during Early Fall Start (EFS) count toward autumn quarter, which means you only have to enroll in 10 credits to be considered a full-time student in the fall.
- Get ahead of the game. As other freshmen are adjusting to college life at the beginning of autumn quarter, you already know the shortest route to class, what college classes are like and where to grab a cup of coffee.
- Explore your options. Did you know that the UW offers over 140 majors? Discovery Seminars provide the perfect opportunity to learn about a subject you've considered as a major or an entirely new topic.
- Build connections. With classes limited to 25 students, you have the chance to work closely with UW faculty as well as make friends with other incoming freshmen.
All of these engaging and innovative opportunities are offered during the four-week EFS session, August 27 – September 20. Regular autumn quarter classes begin September 25, 2013. Intensive EFS courses meet in the morning for two and a half hours each day.
