Mission Statement
Mission Statement
The First Year of Studies is an academic unit which, utilizing a variety of support services, facilitates the transition of first-year students from high school to university life. It advises them in the selection of courses in the First Year curriculum and an appropriate undergraduate college or major while seeking to prepare them for the academic and personal challenges of Notre Dame.

Serving as an advocate for the students, the unit administers academic programs, sets procedures and guidelines in accord with academic policy, and attempts to foster within them a spirit of inquiry and intellectual discourse, independence, appreciation for diversity, and enthusiasm for excellence.
