First Year Experience (FYE)
Making a smooth transition to college life is an important step in achieving success at college and at Northland. The FYE will get you started on the right path by connecting you to the people, programs and activities that will help you get the most out of your first year. All first-year students participate in the FYE which runs during the first half of the Fall Term.
You will meet your FYE classmates on the Tuesday before academic classes begin. Each section of the FYE has 8-10 students and an upper-class student instructor. The course will introduce you to other first-year students as well as to many activities and opportunities at Northland and in the local community. This is unlike any other class you will take, so make the most of this time getting to know your fellow classmates and participating in fun activities. Listed below is a tentative schedule for the fall FYE, with some sample programs:
- Introductions, Information Sharing, and Planning
- Leadership Activities
- Sustainability Programming - community garden; composting; renewable energy production
- Extracurricular activities with your group - sports events, NCSA meetings, lectures, campus events
