Welcome to Nina and Fabiha's Declassified Summer Registration Guide! We’ve collected your questions, done the research, and are here to impart wisdom from our knowledge of our collective 10+ time registration experiences.
This site serves as a central source of information for first-year students at Barnard. There will be regular updates with explanations of academic policies, procedures and deadlines; information from academic programs and departments; and announcements about opportunities for fellowships, grants and scholarships -- so bookmark this site and check it often!

Languages at Barnard Part 1: The Language Requirement Rundown
Welcome to all you need to know about Barnard's language requirement!
Whether you want to continue studying a language you took in high school, gear up for a study abroad program, become fluent in a new language, or are just looking to fulfill the Foundations requirement: everyone has to take at least 2 semesters of a foreign language.

Fabiha's Walk-In Hours Rescheduled
Hi First-Years!
Hope you all are well. I won't be holding walk-in hours on Monday, June 19 as our office will be closed in observance of Juneteenth. Just for next week, I'll hold them on Friday, June 23 instead. They will still be at the same time (2-3PM EST). If you have any questions that you want to ask before then, Nina will still be holding her office hours on Wednesday, June 21 from 9-10AM EST.

The Student Side: What's the Deal with First-Year Writing and First-Year Seminar?
As part of Barnard's Foundations Curriculum, there are 3 required courses Barnard first-years must take. Two of these courses are First-Year Writing (FYW) and First-Year Seminar (FYS) (the third is a physical education class, but we can talk more about that later). You’ll take an FYW class one semester and an FYS class the other semester during your first year at Barnard. These 2 FY required courses (FYW and FYS) are collectively called "First-Year Experience" (FYE).
Let’s break these courses down.
