LAS 101 Freshman Transitions

2 credit hours

Eligible Student Support Services (SSS) freshmen will have the opportunity to get a jump on success with the Freshman Transition Scholars Program (FTSP). Participants move into their residence hall, or commute, two weeks early and complete this two credit hour class at no charge to them. Seminars and activities throughout the program will assist in transitioning into college life, assisting the student to develop learning strategies that will be beneficial to their growth as a lifelong learner. Seminars include success strategies, library skills, English and grammar dynamics, computer skills, financial literacy, career explorations, and graphing calculators. In addition, students will become familiar with campus surroundings, including their classrooms, key offices, as well as meeting faculty and staff. A peer mentor will assist each student throughout their first year at Siena.
