FAQs
Parents have been calling and asking if SOAR is mandatory - according to the SOAR line, it is NOT mandatory. If students do not attend SOAR, they will register for their classes the day before school starts without an advisor. However, the fees for SOAR are already included in their tuition and it will not be reimbursed if they don't attend SOAR. The only extra fees for SOAR are the $34/night/person if they stay overnight in Madison. The guest fee (parents, etc.) is $50/person.
The main way to sign up for SOAR is online, but the SOAR line says that they can help a family register if need be, but they prefer we use this option as a last resort.
Depending on the school or college the student chooses for advising, there are minimal dates available right now. However, they will be opening more spots on Monday 5/2. Reservations can be edited up to one week before their registration so if students or parents say they have a conflict, encourage them to register and then they can change it if more dates become available or if there is a cancellation.
