Going to college is a new chapter in the lives of students, as
well as their family members and friends. New students have lots of questions,
and Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) sessions are the best
place to get those questions answered, and more.
SOAR is a two-hour
program for new students that focuses on the nuts and bolts of registering for
fall classes. Sessions began on July 13 and will continue through August
7. Sessions are held at the Parham
Road Campus and the Downtown Campus. Students can attend SOAR at either campus
even if they will take most or all of their classes at one campus. There is also one session at the Goochland
Campus on Tuesday, July 21 for students enrolled in specific programs:
Automotive Technology, Diesel Mechanics Technology, Floral Design, Horticulture
Technology, Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Technology, Sustainable Agriculture,
and Welding.
During SOAR students learn how to navigate the Student
Information System, register for fall classes, and leave with their new class
schedule. The sessions are a great way
for new students to make the transition into postsecondary education, explore
the Reynolds campuses, and make new connections with peers, faculty and campus
staff.
Our hope is that students will leave orientation feeling a
connection to the Reynolds community and energized to begin classes on August
24.
