<p>What is each of them? Are they the same thing? I’m a Brown 2011 and I have to register for one of them by like July 1 wherein the instructor of the course is also my year-long academic advisor. Which one is that?</p>
<p>And what is the other one?</p>
<p>CAP your professor is your advisor, FYS that's not the case. CAPs are not limited to a certain number of students (or at least not by design) or limited to first year students-- it just so happens that six-ten kids in the class also have that professor as their advisor. FYS are always less than 20 (or is it 18) and only have first years in them.</p>
<p>I also wanted to add that do not think that you must keep the same advisor all 4 years. My son took a CAP last year (he is going into his soph year in the fall) and had an advisor but will be switching to a new advisor because he has made a better connection with another professor who is more aligned with his own interests. He feels he can be better advised by the new advisor. He also took a FYS and felt he could ask that prof for advice also. From his feeling, most profs are very open and nice to offering their help as are the mickeljohns. His CAP class had under 15 kids and his FYS had like 18.</p>
<p>Ok, so are these the CAP courses? Then where do I get information about the FYS's? What is the last date to register for those? Do most Brown freshman in their first semester take both a CAP and an FYS? I'm definietly taking Gen. Chem, Multivariable Calc, and an Intro to Economics course, leaving me with only one more course spot. Should I take an CAP or an FYS? Where do I get info on FYS's? THank you sooo much for answering my questions; I'm just really confused right now. </p>

<p>don't get confused - some CAP courses are actually FYS courses as well. My FYS was my CAP course, and conversely, when I took a FYS second semester, it was not my CAP course personally, but it was some other people's CAP course. Just to clear that up - CAP and FYS may or may not be the same courses. Some of the largest courses on campus (EC11 - ~600 people) is a CAP, but certainly not a FYS!!!</p>
<p>To get a list of first year seminars just restrict your Banner search to FYS courses...</p>
<p>Do you happen to know the benefits of enrolling in the UCAAP program? I'm nervous that my advisor through UCAAP will not be an advisor that has a large amount of knowledge within my concentration. Should I be worried about that or no?</p>
