Abstract
This study on transition to higher education investigated the impact of critical requirements on student adjustment to university. The analyses were carried out on 1,298 freshmen. The preliminary results highlighted that (1) students struggled with different academic requirements according to their entrance characteristics (2) personal requirements were related to student motivation and engagement (3) administrative requirements were related to student well-being (4) social requirements was associated with social integration and (5) content-related requirements was mostly linked to self-efficacy. We discuss the implications of this new perspective of the first year experience.
