Welcome to FAST Programs
The First- and Second-Year Transition (FAST) Programs at Sonoma State University help students build connections, confidence, and community as they begin college. Through First-Year Learning Courses/Communities (FLCs), Second-Year Experience (SYE), Peer Mentorship, and programs like Jump Start, FAST connects students with faculty, Peer Mentors, and campus resources that support a strong start at SSU.
At the heart of FAST is the belief that student success grows through relationships. Our courses and communities are designed to help students feel supported both academically and personally, while creating meaningful connections with peers, mentors, and faculty along the way.
