Abstract

This chapter presents a synopsis of enabler factors for successful adjustment of first-year students. Reviewed literature addresses the main enabler factors, which include positive and helpful interaction of students with lecturers, orientation, family environment, student experience during transition into the university and information literacy. While other students have been living in rural areas, others come from urban areas. Consequently, the two categories of learners do not adjust to institutions of higher learning in the same way. This fact has been taken into account in the course of literature review. Study findings recommend the need for the university administration and other stakeholders to acknowledge the significance of enabler factors for the successful adjustment of first-year students.
