Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR)

SOAR is for first-time students who have recently graduated from high school and transfer students from a community college or other four-year institution; it is designed to help you make a smooth transition to life at NCCU. 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.

We know that you are excited about embarking on this next step in your academic career, and we are here to guide you each step of the way as you take the final steps to join us at the Nest.

You will receive an email notification when you are able to begin completing the Before You SOAR Checklist, allowing you to register for SOAR.

Be advised that SOAR is mandatory for all first-time and transfer students. 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.
