Orientation (SOAR)

Register for International SOAR

All students are required to participate in Southern’s Orientation, Advisement, and Registration (SOAR) prior to beginning their first term of enrollment at Georgia Southern. Due to COVID-19, International SOAR has moved to a mostly virtual format with some in-person sessions on Friday, August 14. 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.

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.
