Many students in the program were recruited from high school in an attempt to make the transition into college as easy as possible.

Students meet with counselors for assistance in any way needed. This allows students to feel they have someone to talk to that will look out for their best interests.

The First Year Experience program groups students who need to complete the same requirements, for example, math and English, in the same classes, so that they will have each other to study with and see familiar faces in class.

This program helps students transition smoothly into the college life. College is a scary concept for many at first, because unlike high school, college is not mandatory.

The campus is bigger than what most people are used to and the choices for classes leading to future careers are too numerous to count. Some students, without assistance, feel lost and confused.

The First Year Experience offers these students the help they need to adjust to being in college, as well as keeps them on the right track to success.
