First Year Experience (FYE)

First Year Experience (Funded by Title III)

The First Year Experience (FYE) program at Huston-Tillotson University is designed to assist students in making a successful transition to HT and university life in general. The program begins with the new student orientation process, consisting of various activities that help acclimate the students to campus and socialize with their peers. During the orientation process each student is assigned a returning student as a Peer Advisor, who serves as the new student’s “mentor” during his or her first year.

Another component of the First Year Experience program is the freshman seminar course, called University 102.

The First Year Experience program also includes monthly programs and workshops that supplement the acclimation process of the program. The program is always growing and expanding to meet the needs of its students. The hope is that through this comprehensive first year program students will be more academically and socially successful and as a result will matriculate to his or her sophomore year at Huston-Tillotson University.
