First-Year Experience

Welcome

The Office of the First-Year Experience, works collaboratively with faculty, staff and various departments to implement a comprehensive university plan for first-year students that:

 

  • Promotes a smooth transition from high school to college
  • Acclimates students to William Paterson University's campus
  • Educates students in the areas of critical thinking, academic integrity, study skills strategies, information technology and other topics that will provide a foundation for student success
  • Integrates co-curricular activities with Academic Programs
  • Identifies solutions for roadblocks to student success in the first year.
  • Supports students through their first year at the university.
