The majority of our ROAR orientation sessions are one day with students having the option to attend one overnight two-day session.
ROAR Next Steps
Schedule Advising Appointment
Freshmen can begin to meet with their academic advisors on May 4th, 2026. Transfer students attending in Fall 2026 can begin getting advised as soon as they are admitted to UNA.
Students should schedule one-on-one appointments with their academic advisor before their ROAR session.
To find out who your academic advisor is and schedule an appointment, visit the Find Your Advisor page.
Send Transcripts and AP Scores
All first-time Freshmen should send final high school transcripts, official college transcripts for dual enrollment courses, and any AP scores to the UNA Admissions Office.
