Get Support from an SSM: Visit the FYS Lab
Do you have questions about completing an ePortfolio assignment? Do you want to learn more about college resources? Do you need advice from a fellow LaGuardia student? Students enrolled in a First Year Seminar course can receive in-person, walk-in support from an SSM in the FYS Lab in room C-447.
Join us in C-447 for our FYS Lab Open House on Wednesday, March 12 in C-447. We’ll hold two sessions: 1:00 – 2:00 p.m and 5:45 – 6:45 p.m.. Come connect with SSMs and learn about how the lab can support your success in the First Year Seminar!

Two important notes for students regarding the FYS Lab:
- Receiving support from an SSM in the FYS Open Lab is not an alternative to attending your First Year Seminar Studio Hour lab. You are still required to attend the weekly Studio Hour sessions with your SSM.
- SSMs are available in the First Year Seminar lab based on their availability. You may not necessarily receive an appointment with your SSM. However, all SSMs are trained and knowledgeable about the First Year Seminar course and ePortfolio. If you’d like to meet with your specific SSM, you are encouraged to contact them directly to set up an appointment.
