Welcome to First Year Experience!

The First Year Experience (FYE) program provides first-year students with a comprehensive learning experience that fosters transition to college and academic success. FYE offers the First Year Seminar (GSR 101) course for all new students as part of the Foundations semester of the General Studies Program. FYE also offers a leadership seminar for upper-class students who serve as Peer Leaders in all GSR 101 classes, as well as a seminar for new transfer students. In addition to courses, the FYE program coordinates the summer JumpStart (Academic Success and new Signers) program, the Performance Learning for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) program, the Common Reading Program, and the Fantastic First Year Students recognition.

* We are located in the I. King Jordan Student Academic Center.
