Soar into Eagle Nation!
Get ready to discover Eagle traditions, meet your advisor, register for classes and learn all about life in the CSC family! And it all starts here – at Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR).
What is SOAR?
SOAR is a fun, one-day event for incoming freshmen to help you jumpstart your college experience, register for classes and prepare you for fall classes. SOAR takes place the summer after you graduate from high school and gives you the chance to connect with our fantastic staff and faculty and get together with our SOAR leaders. You’ll also get to meet your other fellow Eagles who are just as excited as you are to start their college adventures. So, prepare yourself for a great experience!
All new first-year students are required to attend a SOAR program. It’s an essential step in helping you determine your fall classes, register, and make that transition to college student. If you are a new freshman and live more than 400 miles from campus or you have extenuating circumstances and are unable to attend, please contact us: orientation@csc.edu.
