SOAR: Summer Orientation is required for all new undergraduates. We offer two versions, one for freshmen and one for transfer students, that are tailored to the unique needs of each group. Learn more about what to expect from your SOAR experience, and register for the date that best fits your schedule. Please note that there is a registration cap for each session, so be sure to register early.
