SOAR
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions generates correspondence to all students
admitted to the university for the upcoming year. Once you are
admittied, you will receive a stream of information on deadlines for
deposits, placement tests, housing, and the SOAR Program. To ensure
smooth sailing into your first year at Madison, read this
correspondence carefully.
Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) is the gateway
to a successful first year. It is a two day program that you will
schedule through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Staff advisors and
experienced engineering students play a major part in SOAR activities
for new students in engineering.
If it is at all possible, new students should attend SOAR. The
programming for parents is extremely beneficial, and the advising for
students gives them confidence that they are on the right track.
Students leave SOAR with abundant knowledge of their curriculum and a
schedule of courses for which advisors have helped them register.
Students who are unable to attend SOAR receive advising and register
for courses during Wisconsin Welcome Days (the 3 or 4 days before
classes start). This arrangement is workable, but options for course
selection are limited by this time in the registration process.
