Saturday, May 24 | Noon - 4:15 p.m.
Richard J. CURRIE CENTER

During SOAR, you'll have the opportunity to meet and connect with your future classmates, creating lasting friendships before your first semester even begins.

This welcoming environment ensures you're set up for success, easing any uncertainties and giving you the tools you need to thrive as you begin this exciting new chapter of your academic journey.

SOAR is for parents and supporters, too

Parents and supporters are invited to attend SOAR with your student. We know that your student starting university is a transition for you, too, and we want you to know what to expect.

What can you expect from your SOAR experience?

SOAR will include a series of different programs for both incoming students and their parents and supporters:

  • Don't forget to set up your IT services prior to coming to SOAR
  • You can pick up your UCard. Submit your photo by Monday, May 19. Bring your government issued photo ID to present to UCard staff.
  • Faculties will host faculty specific programming and advising. More information will be available soon.
  • Parents and supporters will have specific programming to answer as many of your questions as we can and help you to navigate this transition
  • Information stations: Trade-show style booths highlighting services and supports across campus
  • Residence tours will give you an idea of what you can expect from your residence experience.
  • The Student Union, clubs and societies, varsity sports athletes and campus recreation cannot wait to meet you and show you how to get involved on campus
