First Year Experience Program
FYE Slideshows 2011-2012
Cuyamaca College's
inaugural First Year Experience Program (FYE) is
a comprehensive and intentional approach to the
first year of college, whose purpose is to
ensure that students learn and persist through
their first year. The FYE program has evolved
from our previous Cuyamaca Link early
matriculation program. Specifically, FYE not
only facilitates mandatory participation in
matriculation services, but also employs other
effective practices to facilitate first-year
success including: full-time enrollment in math,
English, and Counseling (previously called
“Personal Development”) courses, counseling
support, and mentoring. Because students move
through their first year as a cohort, this will
increase peer-to-peer interactions allowing for
more engagement to occur.
