College 101:
In addition to the support provided by C.W. Post Academic Counselors, all freshmen enroll in a one-credit freshman seminar, College 101, during their first semester. This is an orientation course that assists students with the transition into college life. College 101 is taught by a mentor (faculty member or administrator) with the assistance of a peer counselor.

Peer Counselors are upperclass students specifically trained to help introduce freshmen to campus life. In addition to assisting the faculty mentor in organizing the freshman seminar, peer counselors are available to students throughout their first semester; peer counselors are friends and experienced guides for new freshmen. Both the faculty mentor and peer counselor are part of the strong support system provided to new freshmen. College 101 covers such topics as time management, academic policies, study skills, cooperative education and other issues relevant to new freshman.

College 101 is offered in the Fall and Spring Semesters for 1 course credit.
