Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration

Congratulations on your acceptance to UNA. To enhance your beginning experience we offer Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration (SOAR). SOAR has two phases for new UNA students. Your SOAR fee covers the cost for attending both phases. SOAR Phase I allows new incoming students to participate in a summer orientation session to learn more about the University, participate in academic advising, pre-register for classes, and gain valuable information on items such as financial aid, meal plans, housing, tuition and more.

SOAR Phase II (Welcome Week) occurs August 22-29, 2009 for new students to take part in activities and events which will orient them more to the University, familiarize them to campus surroundings, and give an opportunity to develop friendships as they begin college.
