Making the academic transition to UC Davis can be difficult. Class structure, instructor interaction, rigor, expectations and studying are all different from high school. First Year Experience (FYE) Peer Mentors are one source of support as you transition into college.
FYE Peer Mentors are current students who meet with first-year students like to answer questions, share experiences and offer suggestions. FYE Peer Mentors also host programs and events in-person and virtually, as well as hold office hours.
At the beginning of the quarter, you will meet your FYE Peer Mentor. Find your FYE Peer Mentor by using our online form!
