Hello! The First Year Experience (FYE) program provides first-year students with comprehensive living and learning experiences that foster a smooth transition to college and academic success.

As a part of the Center for Academic Programs and Student Services, the FYE offers the First Year Seminar (FYS) course as well as close connections to Academic Advising, Career Center, The Honors Program, Student Affairs, and undergraduate departments and services.

Students can look foward to many exciting events in their FYS course, including an author visit from their Common Reading book.
