In the Know: First Year Experience (FYE) Program

The FYE Program is designed to get you off to a good start and to help you succeed at UD. FYE also allows you to meet other students in a small class setting, learn about resources at UD, and feel more at home on campus. All freshmen are required to participate in a First Year Seminar (FYS). Seminars are led by faculty who work closely with undergraduate peer mentors.
