First-year Experience (FYE)

FYE is coordinated through Student Development Programs, in cooperation with the office of Residence Life and various academic programs. 

Our comprehensive approach to your first-year experience begins with START and New Student Orientation, which includes the Summer Reading; integrates both your curricular and co-curricular experiences; includes faculty oriented academic advising; and is centered on your residential community .

Philadelphia University believes that community service initiatives are a central part of the undergraduate experience.  Accordingly, the office of Community Service works to increase student access to the community service opportunities, serve as an informational resource about community agencies, supports students' civic engagement, and promotes service as a tool for learning.
