First-Year Experience

The First-Year Seminar is designed to provide comprehensive guidance to students transitioning into college life. This course provides information on the development of study skills, academic planning and career awareness as well as information about campus resources that are designed to aid in student success. Students will be introduced to the college's liberal arts emphasis, cultural awareness issues and concepts of personal well-being and life skills development. All first-time freshmen and transfer students with less than 15 credit hours are required to complete a FS course - dual credit high school/college courses do not count toward this total. Students who withdraw from or fail the course are required to make subsequent attempts in successive semesters.
