Freshman SOAR Sessions


Five SOAR sessions are offered throughout June and July. All incoming freshmen and transfer students are highly encouraged to attend a SOAR session prior to starting classes in the fall semester. The majority of our SOAR sessions are one day and will run from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Students have the option to attend one overnight two-day session (Day 1: 2:30 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. and Day 2: 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.).

SOAR Payment Information

The cost to attend a one-day SOAR session is $80 per student and $35 per family member.

The cost to attend a two-day overnight session is $125 per student and $35 per family member.

We recommend completing the following tasks before attending your SOAR session:

  • Schedule an advising appointment. Freshmen can begin to meet with their academic advisors on May 1st. We recommend that students schedule a one-on-one appointment with their academic advisor outside of their SOAR session, however, there will be an optional advising session offered for students at SOAR.
  • First- Time Freshmen - Send your final high school transcript and official college transcripts for dual enrollment courses to the Admissions Office.
  • Send AP scores to UNA.
  • Upload a photo and set up mobile credentials for your Mane Card Mobile ID.
  • Submit proof of immunizations.
  • Register your vehicle with Transportation Services. Students who do so at least 24 hours before their SOAR session will be able to pick up their parking permit during orientation.
