Orientation (SOAR)

Register for International SOAR

All undergraduate students are required to participate in Southern’s Orientation, Advisement, and Registration (SOAR) prior to beginning their first term of enrollment at Georgia Southern. A special International SOAR session offers important information about maintaining your visa status, adjusting to U.S. classroom culture, and how to navigate life at Georgia Southern.

At SOAR you’ll meet with your academic advisor, register for classes, discover campus resources and student life opportunities, and get settled into your new life in the United States. Students will join domestic SOAR with specific international break-out sessions. Cost is $50 for students and max of two guests at $15 each.

The link to register can be found in your Undergraduate Admissions Status Check Page.

Exceptions will not be made and students should plan to arrive on campus during the advertised dates, prior to the start of SOAR.  Please see the Arrival page.
