First-Year Experience Program

We understand the beginning of college comes with mixed emotions. By collaborating with our colleagues across campus, we have crafted a comprehensive program that begins with pre-orientation online modules, a robust summer orientation program, opening weekend programs and activities, and expands into the Fall semester with the First-Year Experience program.

The First-Year Experience program is a collection of campus-wide programs, resources, and courses aimed to support students through academic success, and emotional and social well-being.

Check your Financial Aid Awards

If you haven't yet, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) so you can see what financial aid you are eligible for. Once you do, the Financial Aid Office will automatically review and award any aid you qualify for.
