Freshman SOAR Schedule At-a-glance


Schedule At-a-Glance

SOAR is a 2-day program, filled with an exciting variety of information sessions, interactive programs, and time to complete tasks necessary to inform you about your college experience and help you begin your first semester at UNCG.

Below is a schedule at-a-glance to give you an idea of what your days will be like at SOAR. A full schedule with more detail will be provided at SOAR check-in.

For those of you travelling from a distance, please note the beginning and ending times and plan accordingly.

We do not provide overnight accommodations for the SOAR program during the August session. You may chose to stay in your residence hall or at a local hotel. If you are driving from several hours away or flying to Greensboro, you might want to arrive the night before.

For information on move-in, go to Housing and Residence Life Web site. If you have questions or concerns about your move-in date, please contact Houseing and Residence Life.

To check-in, you will need to park in the Walker Avenue parking deck, and walk over to the Elliott University Center (EUC) conveniently located across the street from the parking deck. Your parking fees are included in your SOAR fee. You will use your SOAR nametag to exit the parking deck at no charge (this only applies to the Walker Avenue parking deck).
