First Year Students

The faculty and staff at NJCU, has the responsibility to guide students toward meeting certain goals during their first year. The UAC has created the following first-year goals and welcomes your participation in using the goals to enhance our work with new students. No one person, class, or organization can help a student meet all of these goals, but if NJCU and its community members use the goals as a basis for interactions with first-year students, each student will be able to create a meaningful, productive first-year experience for themselves.
