The first year of college can be overwhelming. The First-year Academic Support and Transition (FAST Start) program helps you transition to college by making sure you have a support system. FAST Start is open to all first-time students at Weber State.
FAST Start Program Includes
Specially Designed Courses
Courses will have all first-time students and highly trained professors who teach class in a smaller group setting instead of a large lecture.
Student Mentor/Tutor
Each course will have a student mentor/tutor who will facilitate course activities, study sessions, and provide general academic and transition support to students.
Events and Activities
Invitations to activities or social events through the fall semester to help with college relationship building.
