Students Enrolling for Spring 2026

Spring 2026 SOARs are virtual experiences

  • Orientation - Your SOAR Event Confirmation email included a link to a SOAR Pre-Registration Survey. Please complete the SOAR Pre-Registration Survey to ensure a smooth advising and registration process.
  • Advising – Beginning November 3, 2025, once you have completed the SOAR Pre-Registration Survey, you will be contacted by a member of our advising team within 2-3 business days to schedule a time with you to discuss course recommendations and registration.
    • If you have not heard from an advisor three business days after completing the SOAR Pre-Registration Survey, please text our First Year Programs office at 218.304.7544, and they will assist you.
  • Registration - Your advisor will assist you in knowing how to register for the courses they recommend. Video tutorials on how to register for classes can also be found on the Registrar's page.
