The University of Delaware 's First Year Experience (FYE) is designed to provide first year students with essential strategies and information necessary for a successful first year. It is the opportunity for students to combine academic interest and a campus community. First year students get to know faculty and students with similar ideas, make new friends, and learn about UD support units.
Students
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 (First Year Seminar, LIFE UNIV 101, Honors Program, and Pathways courses). 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 at least one First Year Experience if the transfer students registered and successfully completed at least once semester at another college or university. Although, selected First Year Seminars and Pathways courses are required in the curriculum of particular majors regardless of prior UD transfer credits.
