William McCormick, Director

It has been more than a few years now since I started college but I still remember the confusion and the doubt that I experienced as I enrolled for the first time. My job at Central is to make sure that you do not share that experience. If there is anything that I can do to help you through this process as you begin your college career at UCO, please let me know how I can help. Programs like Enrollment Central and Success Central are great, but they can only do so much. Ultimately, you have to seek out help when you need it. Never be afraid to ask questions and know that there are dozens of offices and hundreds of people on our campus that are all here to make sure that you succeed!

Tori Christiansen, Assistant Director

Your first year of college should be a positive experience! It should be educational, fun, and exciting! My job at UCO is to make sure that your transition into college is a smooth one - to make sure that it's everything that it should be. The Office of First-Year Experience Programs is focused on the success of our students. We provide numerous programs and resources that will help you acclimate to your new environment and allow you to learn and experience what being a college student is all about. My advice to you is to ask questions and to learn everything you can about yourself and your academic area. College is a time of self-discovery! Open your mind, get involved, and have fun!

Jasmine Saghafi, Coordinator of Campus Card Services

The Office of First-Year Experience Programs is focused on the success of our students. We provide numerous programs and resources and your student ID card is an essential resource on campus. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't need one. Here are just a few of the reasons that you need to make your card choice and pick up a Bronze Card or a Midfirst Central ID Visa® Check Card today: 1. Use your ID card to access the Wellness Center. 2. Use your ID card to check out resources in the Chambers Library. 3. Get free access to Broncho football, soccer, wrestling, basketball and much more. 4. Many campus offices such as Financial Aid and Undergraduate Advisement require that you show your ID to meet with a counselor or advisor. 5. Use your Central Card as a debit card at millions of Visa® locations worldwide by opening a free Broncho Checking Account with Midfirst Bank.

My job is to help you obtain your Central Card or Bronze Card student ID and to answer any questions about ID card choice or about refunds through the Broncho Spirit Card.

Our Mission

The University of Central Oklahoma's Office of First-Year Experience Programs will focus on first year students as they make the transition from their high school, post high school or transfer institution experiences to the college experience at Central. The FYE Office will undertake a comprehensive array of curricular and co-curricular initiatives intended to promote an understanding and appreciation of transformative education and to assist students as they develop strategies and attitudes that will maximize academic success. We will familiarize students with campus resources and how to use them, foster the development of positive relationships between and among students, faculty, staff, and administrators, and prepare students to become productive, creative, ethical and engaged citizens and leaders serving our global community.
