Expectations
of FYI Program
There are two important areas
which start a student on the right foot! The first area is skill enhancement.
You may need to brush up in math or writing before heading into higher level
math/writing courses. The second area focuses on connections...connections to
staff, faculty and other students.
Becoming a TRiO student, and participating in the First Year Initiative will help you in both of these areas!
When you become an FYI student, you:
· Will complete Intermediate Math OR Intermediate Writing. This is determined by your placement test scores results.
· Will attend Success Seminar - a course designed to enhance academic study skills.
· Will have a TRiO team member as an academic advisor to support and advise, and
· Will have access to a variety of additional services offered through the TRiO program.
