Fall Semester is around the corner and the First Year Experience (FYE) Program wants to ensure you are on track and ready for a successful Fall 2020 Semester. The goal of FYE is to introduce students to the expectations of higher education and empower them to discover their academic and personal goals.
All first-year students enrolled in one of the following courses are part of the FYE Program:

• COUN V01-College Success (3 units)
• COUN V02-Career Exploration & Life Planning (3 units)
• COUN V03-College Orientation course (1 unit)
• EAC V01-Strategies for Success in College & Life (3 units)
• ENGR V01-Introducton to Engineering (3 units)

**ALERT!!** Some of you may have already taken a career exploration course in high school.  If you are unsure about whether you received college credit for such course in High School please call the FYE office for clarification 805-289-6438.  Completion of a Career Exploration course in high school automatically qualifies you for the VC FYE program.
