Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR)

SOAR, designed to help you make a smooth transition to life at NCCU, is for first-time students who have recently graduated from high school and transfer students from a community college or other four-year institutions. During this orientation, you will immerse yourself in NCCU's traditions, campus culture, and academic programs. You will also learn about the exciting new experiences and challenges you may encounter during your first year, including academic expectations and student life.

New first-time freshmen and transfer students for Spring 2022 will complete their registration for Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) during the housing application process. Please choose the appropriate drop-down category on the Housing website (https://www.nccu.edu/division-student-affairs/residential-life/applying-spring-housing) to access information on registration. A step-by-step guide, also found on the Housing website, is available for your assistance. You may contact the Office of New Student and Family Programs at newstudents@nccu.edu or 919-530-6336 for more information.

Please note that there is no up-front cost to register for SOAR; however, a non-refundable orientation fee will be billed to your student account after your registration has been received.
