First-Year Immersion
Research suggests that summer immersion programs help to facilitate a successful student transition to university life, improve academic performance, increase retention rates and lead to on-time graduation. Quinnipiac University has established a First-Year Immersion (QU FYI) summer program for admitted students who might struggle with the transition to college. During this program, students participate in social, cultural and academic initiatives, and fully immerse themselves into the Bobcat community while laying a solid foundation for future success.
QUEST
The Quinnipiac University Enriching Student Transitions (QUEST) program creates opportunities for first-year underrepresented students (students of color, international students and first-generation college students) to connect directly with peer and professional mentors and the campus and local area through personal, academic, social and cultural experiences that aid in their success and adjustment to the college environment.
Transfer Connection
Beyond the initial orientation that transfer students receive, our transfer connection programs are designed to help transfer students navigate the realities of learning a new institution, meeting new people, and connecting with opportunities that support success.
