Learning Communities (LC)
Learning Communities (LCs) are groups of 19 freshmen who are pre-registered in a Freshman Year Seminar and several core courses together, easing both the registration process and academic adjustment to college. We offer several types of LCs in order for everyone to find their place at Auburn.

First Year Seminars (FYS) courses at Auburn University help new students acclimate to multiple aspects of university life. Seminars are one or two credit courses and can be taken independently or as part of a Learning Community.
