First Year Experience
The First Year Experience (FYE) program supports first-year students by offering them opportunities to engage meaningfully with the AUS community and learn skills that promote academic success.
Join our community!
FYE Pathway
The FYE Pathway is a unique opportunity for first-year students to grow in areas that are typically the greatest challenge for them. First-years can earn a certificate and meet one of the requirements for the first-year honor society by completing tasks in each of the below categories:
How can first-years complete the FYE Pathway?
- Attend an ASC Student Success Workshop in each category OR
- Complete interactive projects online under the FYE course on iLearn.
FYE Connect
We know your first year at university can be challenging and that you might have more questions, especially after you have a few weeks under your belt. FYE Connect is a mid-semester check-in! During this event, you’ll connect with AUS faculty, staff administrators, AND you’ll have the exclusive opportunity to meet individually with an FYE Ambassador (an experienced student) to reflect on your experience at AUS and learn about AUS services. Be on the lookout for your invitation to this memorable occasion!
