UHD's Freshman Summer Success
Program is an expanded orientation for incoming freshman, assists students in making the critical transition from high school to the university. It emphasizes academic preparation, enabling students to work with UHD faculty in sample courses such as math, writing, and communication.

FSSP participants meet with student ambassadors, academic advisors, financial aid counselors, and career counselors. Thus, they understand and use the available resources and services, reducing the anxiety arising from being in unfamiliar surroundings.

"I think that without the Summer Success Program, the transition from high school to college would’ve been very difficult."

Some of the benefits of attending the FSSP:

• Host Saturday kick-off, introducing parents and freshmen to UHD, including financial fitness, strategies for student success, campus organizations, and the general education core.
• Award each student completing the program a $100 certificate for the bookstore and register each in a drawing for an MP3 Player.
• Include the family in the awards banquet culminating the week’s activities, recognizing the importance of parents’ involvement in students’ achievements.
• Offer follow-up activities, including social gatherings and workshops on topics such as time management.

"My memory was refreshed in math. When the ambassadors kept saying that we would be fine, I felt more confident about coming here."
