Periodical of the Month: Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition

Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition

Published by the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition, the Journal of the First-Year Experience & Students in Transition is a biannual refereed journal which Hewes Library subscribes to in print and online.  It is available online from 1998 to the present.

Established in 1998 by the University of South Carolina, the JFYE was born out of the success of the University’s much-honored University101 course and a series of annual conferences focused on the first-year experience.  Its mission is to advance and support efforts to improve student learning and transitions into and through higher education.

JFYE reports on current research on the first college year and other significant student transitions including:

  • Explorations into the academic, personal and social experiences of students at a range of transition points throughout the college years.
  • Transition issues unique to specific populations (e.g., non-traditional, historically underrepresented students, transfer students, commuters, part-time students.)
  • Explorations of faculty development, curriculum, and instructional innovations connected to any of the transitions students’ experience.
