First-Year Overview & Resources

All W.S. Lee College of Engineering first-year students are advised in the Office of Student Development and Success (OSDS) until they successfully complete the first-year curriculum and are moved to their academic department.

Lee College of Engineering wants students to graduate in a timely fashion with a degree that prepares them for a successful, fulfilling, and exciting career that offers many opportunities. First-year students should get involved early and often so that they can succeed academically and professionally. Come learn and grow with us!

Prospect for Success (PFS) is UNC Charlotte’s commitment to helping first-year students become intentional, curious, and aware. Through carefully designed courses, co-curricular experiences, and extracurricular programs, students develop their commitment to success, inquiry skills, and cultural awareness.

In the College of Engineering, PFS is integrated into Engineering Pathways (ENGR 1100), Introduction to Engineering (ENGR 1201) and Introduction to Engineering Technology (ETGR 1201), Introduction to Construction Management (CMET 1400), the residential Freshman Learning Community (FLC), MAPS (Maximizing Academic and Professional Success), Engage ME!, and academic advising.

OSDS Academic Advisors are available to meet with students during office hours and by appointment.
