Walk-In Consultations with FILL Peer Mentors

 
Want to talk with an experienced student about your work in UNIV 111, 112, or 200? FILL Peer Mentors are here for you at any stage in the process! You can schedule an appointment with a Peer Mentor using Navigate—and same-day appointments are often available (you can book in as little as one hour in advance). You are also welcome to stop by The FILL (Harris 5116) during our walk-in hours, listed below!

OnePrint Station in The FILL

 
New for Spring 2023! The FILL (Harris 5116) now has a VCU OnePrint station. You can print from anywhere on your own computer or smartphone and then pick up the copies at our multifunction printer. Or, pull up your documents on the FILL computers and send them to the printer. Just tap your VCUCard on the top panel of the printer and choose print release or copying (double-sided and color prints available). Copies and printouts are paid for with your RamBucks, and you can scan to email for free!

Borrow a FI Textbook from The FILL

 
New for Spring 2023! The FILL has offered equipment checkouts for years, and now you can borrow Focused Inquiry textbooks from the front desk! We have copies of the Among Others FI reader, The Curious Researcher, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle available for two-hour loans. If you forgot to bring your textbook to campus or need to review a reading for homework, come to Harris 5116 and we can help. We only ask that the books stay in The FILL unless you're picking up one for your FI class.

Whenever you need a textbook outside of The FILL's normal hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.), know that there are also copies on reserve at Cabell Library. To check out reserve materials, visit one of the information desks on the library's first floor. 
 
Images of the three Focused Inquiry textbooks: Among Others: Solitude and Belonging (Focused Inquiry I & II), The Curious Researcher (Inquiry and the Craft of Argument UNIV 200), Shirley Jackson We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Among Others has an abstract design on the front, The Curious Researcher has a word cloud, and We Have Always depicts a young girl holding a cat with a younger woman behind her, with a crowd of people behind them.
