SOAR is the most fun you can have on two feet! Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but SOAR is designed to help new students get ready to start college. At SOAR, you will meet your Connection Leader (an upper-class student who will work with you throughout fall semester), your advisor, and a lot of your fellow students. You will get your class schedule, and, if needed, you may make changes to your schedule (although most students don't make any changes to their schedules).
Students should register for SOAR, complete the Schedule Preference Form and the Housing Preference Form, and download and complete the Health Form. All of these forms can be accessed through the Getting Started Checklist.
Parents and guests are encouraged to attend SOAR, as there is programming especially for them. They will meet college officials, learn about campus services, and understand more about the Lynchburg College community. Parents will also find their interactions with Connection Leaders most helpful in understanding how best to help their students be successful at LC. Unfortunately, parents cannot stay on campus. A list of local accommodations can be found at the link below.
