With questions, contact Ceddi Carver, Dean of Student Life, at 815-740-4293 or ccarver@stfrancis.edu.

USF鈥檚 First-Year Transition Program (FYT) offers an academic experience designed to smooth your transition to college and the next chapter in your life. The program provides preparatory classroom experiences, academic resources, college life workshops, and community building opportunities.

Participants earn one hour of college credit and begin to experience a piece of college life. College professors and coursework will guide you through the expectations of a college class.

USF student leaders who have also gone through the FYT program offer mentorship and support in helping you transition to college. Your personal story grows as you build confidence in this new adventure and develop friendships along the way.

Participants can commute to campus or stay in a USF residence hall during FYT. If you will be residing on campus during the fall semester, you will be able to move into your assigned room at this time. If you will be commuting during the year but want to experience residence life during FYT, you will be provided with a room for the three nights of the program.
