Since 1999, UConn's FYE program has offered courses and services that foster student success, development, transition, and leadership. Through our course offerings, first and second year students at the University study and engage in exploration, learning, and research in small 19 seat seminar sections.
FYE course offerings are taught by instructors drawn from departments and colleges throughout the university system who are assisted by undergraduate peer mentors and graduate leaders, allowing our courses to become collaborative, community-based offerings for active and experiential learning.

Taking a UNIV course through FYE is one way to learn about the various resources available to first year students! Let’s hear from freshman Jonathan Schibi about his UNIV class’s trip to the police station with @uconnpd_officertildy !
“Getting connected to first year resources like the police department is beneficial for first year students because it shows all first year students exactly what they have access to. It`s important for all students to know what they have at their disposal and that they aren`t alone on this big campus. This trip to the police department was a way of showing all of us that we have resources to keep us safe and that these resources are here to help, and that first-year students should use them when needed.”
