Promoting Student Success From the First Year and Beyond!
Freshman year of college is an important milestone in a student’s academic life. Whether it’s developing effective study habits or fostering relationships with professors and their peers, what happens in that freshman year can impact a student’s academic and future professional lives.
To support this transition, Sam Houston State University developed the First-Year Experience program (FYE), a comprehensive and coordinated approach to that important first year of college. Drawing on campus-wide resources, FYE provides students academic and selected non-academic support services dedicated to supporting a student’s transition into college that will lead, ultimately, to graduation.
