While starting college is an exciting time for new students,
the transition to post-secondary education can be challenging. To assist
with this transition, students new to Reynolds have the option to attend an
orientation session to receive academic advising and to register for fall
classes. Students choose between two types of orientation programs - SOAR
or SOAR Express. While SOAR is a comprehensive, half-day program for new
students and their parents or guests, SOAR Express is a 2-hour program for new
students that focuses on the nuts and bolts of registering for fall classes.
Prior to attending SOAR & SOAR Express new students must
take the placement tests at one of the campus Testing Centers, set up their
username and password in SIS, and follow-up with Financial Aid if they have any
questions about their financial aid package.
As you can see from these pictures from a SOAR Express
orientation session, it may still be summer, but school is definitely in
session at Reynolds!
More information about SOAR and SOAR Express can be found
online at http://www.reynolds.edu/studentaffairs/orientation.htm.
