Full-time students for whom a supportive course of study is deemed necessary may be admitted to the Enhanced Freshman Experience (EFE) Program.

This program offers a highly structured curriculum as well as extra support services during the first year at Fairleigh Dickinson University. The EFE director, faculty and staff work together with the students to help them strengthen themselves academically and eliminate as many obstacles to their academic success as possible.

EFE students are required to sign a contract pledging their commitment to the program and promising to follow program rules and regulations. A $3,000.00 scholarship is awarded at the end of the year to an EFE student who has demonstrated superior academic achievement, motivation and involvement in the FDU community. Periodic academic reviews will place students on probation if their performance is below acceptable standards. A year-end review will subject students to dismissal if program requirements are not fulfilled.
