SOAR Schedule
(Summer Orientation, Advising, and Registration)What is SOAR? SOAR is a one-day advising and registration program for incoming first-year* students. SOAR also includes orientation activities for parents and guardians.
When can I attend? Students have two choices of dates to attend: a primary date based on their major (listed below) or Friday, June 24 -- an alternate date for all majors. The program is the same on either day.
What is the day like? SOAR begins with check-in at 8:00 a.m. The morning sessions for students begin at 8:30 a.m. and include a math assessment, group activities, and an introduction to the major; afternoon sessions for students include an introduction to student life at SC and advising and registration. Morning activities for parents and guardians include sessions on financial aid and the student's major; afternoon sessions include introductions to academic and student services. The program concludes at 5:00 p.m., and will be followed by an optional barbecue.
Questions? More information about SOAR, including how to RSVP, will be sent to students in early May. In the meantime, if you have questions about your attendance day, contact Terry Cloutier or Cheryl Kelley at the Academic Advising Center (413-748-3379 or academicadvising@spfldcol.edu). If you have general questions about the program, contact Diane Carignan in the Student Affairs Office (413-748-3922 or dcarignan@spfldcol.edu ).
