Getting the Most Out of Your First Year
FYE strives to foster inclusion and belonging, promote engagement in the curricular and co-curricular life at WCSU, articulate the University processes and expectations, and help individuals discover and clarify their direction as a student.
Orientation
WCSU’s Orientation Program provides incoming students and their families with help and guidance for student academic success, personal growth and meaningful connections. Orientation is dedicated to facilitating students’ transition to university life.
We promote organizational and individual wellness and respect among our community by fostering a wellness culture across the university’s campuses and by building partnerships with the greater community.
WCSU's 101 FYE course introduces new students to opportunities and resources.
In this class, we help you:
• Achieve academic success
• Discover and connect with WCSU
• Increase personal development, wellbeing, and social responsibility
At the end of the year when you pass this course, you earn one class credit.
FYE Passport Cards
This part of WCSU's FYE guides you as you make friends, learn interesting things and find “second-home” places around campus. With the help and approval of your professor, at the end of the semester when you’ve filled one of each of the five “wolf traits” categories on the passport, you earn credit in your class.
