First Year Programs


SUNY Potsdam is the first school in the SUNY system to merge academics, residential accommodations, and the faculty into one first year program!

  • Orientation

    Become familiar with your orientation and introduction process, our First Year Success Seminar, Welcome Convocation, and other programs sponsored by this office.

  • First Year Experience Program

    Explore the residential component of the first year program available at SUNY Potsdam.

  • First Year Interest Groups

    Browse through the different academic cluster of classes offered to incoming students and see which one is right for you.


Our first year programs are a unique way to become involved on the college campus and allow you to meet new people.
