FIRST Program
Program Overview
The Fully Integrated Resource, Support and Transition (FIRST) Program is a community of students who have been admitted to the University of Dayton, but whose prior academic records have not met all of the University's admission standards. Students in this community have been admitted because the University believes that they can succeed with some additional support during their first year. The FIRST Program provides students holistic learning support (academic, social, emotional, vocational) designed to help them find their places within the university community and the broader world.
