SOAR
Summer Orientation Advising and Registration (SOAR)
During a SOAR day, you will meet with an advisor, get to know other incoming students, learn about student resources, and register for your first semester classes. SOAR days are designed to prepare you for Student Orientation and to connect you with the Northwest University community—before you arrive in late August.
