Abstract
The first year is a critical period in the determination of student success, none more so than for students from diverse backgrounds including those from low socio economic backgrounds. Achieving the utopian ‘third generation’ or ‘transition pedagogy’ approach to the first year experience requires a transformational shift: a whole of institution approach including explicit curriculum design and seamless partnerships between academic and professional staff. This paper documents one institution’s progress towards a transition pedagogy and describes specific initiatives in an ambitious project of change that has complemented the university’s response to the widening participation agenda.
