Freshman Experience Seminar
?
The Freshman Experience Seminar at UNH is designed to help students make the transition from high school to college. During their first semester, all new freshmen are required to take the one-credit, team-taught FE001 Freshman Experience Seminar, which addresses such topics as academic standards, diversity, time and stress management, college life versus high school life, university relationships, responsible human sexuality, exploration of self, alcohol and substance abuse, and experiential learning. The goal of this seminar is to give students the tools to help them understand and succeed in what can be, and increasingly is, a very competitive environment. FE001 is also a wonderful support system for students who may be away from home for the first time. FE001 is mandatory for all incoming first-time freshmen with no previous college experience and is a requirement for graduation.

Faculty Engagement Labs
In addition to the Freshman Experience Seminar, UNH offers an excellent opportunity for first year students to engage in student-driven activities with members of the UNH faculty and staff. The non-credit, Faculty Engagement Labs take an encouraging approach to facilitate informal interaction between the students of the University of New Haven and the faculty and staff outside of the office and classroom.
