Answer: The reservation box is located on the “Welcome” Tab on the left hand side. (If they still can’t find it contact DoIT (264-HELP or helpdesk@doit.wisc.edu) OR students may register for SOAR through the SOAR website: SOAR.wisc.edu. 

Question: Can you give me the dates of SOAR?

Answer: "You will be able to choose your SOAR session date when you make a SOAR reservation. We offer sessions Monday through Friday most weeks of June, July & early August. There are 28 freshmen and 7 transfer students sessions to choose from. One of these transfer sessions is only open to in-system UW students. Because of the variables* that go into making a reservation we cannot give you an exact date."

Question: Variables*?

Answer: Variables include School or College you plan to advise with, or if you are affiliated with certain programs.

   • ADMIT_TYPE = FYR or TRF
   • PROG_ACTION = DEIN or MATR (able to register)
   • PROG_ACTION = ADMT (We have not received enrollment deposit or enrollment confirmation)

Follow up Questions about Enrollment Deposit: A. what is that?, B. where does it need to be sent?  C. It was sent in already?

A. What is the Enrollment Deposit?   - Look at Checklist for Freshman Admitted students #2 Confirm your Enrollment

B. Credit cards are accepted for Enrollment Deposits, direct students to the Student Center
