Top Facts about the First Year Intervention Program
The First Year Intervention Program (FYI) is one of the many services that the Learning Resources Center offers to UMBC students. 

The purpose of the program is twofold: to notify students in their first year at UMBC that they are in jeopardy of receiving a D or F in a certain course and to provide them with resources to improve their grade in that course and preserve their GPA. 

By alerting students early in the semester, students have the ability to make the necessary changes to improve their grade and become successful in their academic careers. 

When do FYI alerts get sent?
The FYI reporting period for the Fall 2017 semester is scheduled run from Monday, February 26 through Friday, March 30.

Help! I got an alert in one of my courses! What should I do?
Your professor sent you an alert because you are in danger of receiving a D or an F in that course. The first thing you should do is to contact your professor to figure out what your exact grade is and what you can do about it. Next, visit our Action Resource Center to see if there’s any services at UMBC that can help you improve your grade.

You can also schedule an academic success meeting with a staff member at the Learning Resources Center.  

I got an alert, but I’m not in my first year at UMBC.
The alert program is designed to notify students in their first year at UMBC; however, instructors have the ability to send alerts to any student who is in danger of receiving a D or F in the course. If you received an alert, it means that your grade is in jeopardy and you should take action immediately.

If I’m in danger of receiving a D or an F, doesn’t that mean I could still be passing?
It is possible, but you could just barely be passing. If you are in a course that has a second level to it (such as MATH 150, or BIOL 141), you MUST receive a C or higher to move on to the next level. If you are trying to fulfill your GEP requirements with a course, you MUST have a C or higher for it to count. This is why we ask professors to let you know if you are in danger of receiving a D.

Jin Kim and Hayley Richardson get published.

A new study almost 20 years in the making provides some of the strongest evidence yet of the 'speciation reversal' phenomenon -- where two distinct lineages hybridize and eventually merge into one -- in two lineages of common ravens.

Dr. Kevin Omland, professor of biological sciences at University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) initially began work on this project in 1999, Common Ravens were considered a single species worldwide. He thought further research might uncover two distinct species -- perhaps an "Old World" and "New World" raven -- but the real story is much more complicated. Omland reported the existence of two Common Raven lineages in 2000, one concentrated in the southwestern United States dubbed "California," and another found everywhere else (including Maine, Alaska, Norway and Russia) called "Holarctic."

Since then, the plot has thickened. Two undergraduates in Omland's lab, Jin Kim and Hayley Richardson, former URA's, analyzed mitochondrial DNA from throughout the western United States and found the two lineages are extensively intermixed.
