A year of firsts. NEW FRIENDS. NEW CLASSES. NEW CLUBS. NEW VIEW. Your first year at W&L will be an exciting experience. There are many ways to get involved in academics and activities, and plenty of resources available should you need academic help, counseling services or other support. Throughout the year, students connect with resident advisers, peer counselors, class deans, faculty advisers, peer tutors and others to ensure success inside and outside the classroom. Class deans provide programming and support tailored to the unique needs and interests of students at W&L. The Leading Edge Pre-Orientation First-year students can begin making friends and building community by participating in a Leading Edge pre-orientation program. Students may choose from several meaningful experiences such as an outdoor adventure or community service project before returning to campus invigorated and prepared for an incredible first year. FYE100: General Success Course The First-Year Experience 100 (FYE100) course is offered to all first-year students to ease the transition from high school to W&L. The course fosters a sense of belonging, articulates the expectations of the university, familiarizes students with resources and opportunities, and helps them clarify their purpose and direction in college.
