SOAR Registration Details

All students are required to attend a SOAR session prior to enrolling in classes*. SOAR sessions are led by current Georgia Southern students who will be a great resource for you to ask questions of and show you what it means to be a Georgia Southern student! You will also be able to meet with an academic advisor, who will advise you on which classes have been selected for your first semester.

*There are some specific populations this may not apply for. More details can be found by reviewing your start term information.

Changing Your SOAR Reservation

Students are able to change their desired SOAR session for the same term as currently registered through our online reservation system.

If a student updates their admissions term, they can transfer their SOAR fee to their new term. This is only available for updates within two academic terms of the original session. For example, a student registered for a Spring 2025 SOAR session can transfer their fee to a Summer 2025 session or a Fall 2025 session. No partial refunds will be given if the new session is at a lesser cost. If a student would like to request to have their SOAR fee transferred to a new term they must email our office at orientation@georgiasouthern.edu prior to registering for the new term.

Canceling Your SOAR Reservation / SOAR Refund Policy

All SOAR registration fees are non-refundable. No refunds will be given to students who decide not to attend Georgia Southern after registering for SOAR.

Guest fees are also non-refundable. Students may transfer their guest registration fee to another person if a previously registered guest is unable to attend.

Refunds will also not be given to students who change a previously scheduled SOAR session to a session of a lesser cost.
