First Year Experience (FYE)

All first-year students participate in a First Year Experience (FYE). The FYE Program is designed to help you succeed both academically and socially in your first year at UD. It will help you feel more at home on our campus while meeting other first year students, and learning about resources at UD.

 
All bachelor and associate degree undergraduate students entering UD in September 2005 or later are required to register and successfully complete at least one FYE. On the Newark campus, all first year students are housed according to their FYE academic interest in residence halls across campus.

All bachelor degree undergraduate students transferring to UD are NOT required to take a First Year Experience if the transfer students registered and successfully completed at least once semester at another college or university. However, certain First Year Seminars are required in the curriculum of particular majors regardless of prior UD transfer credits.
