Welcome! Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR) is for incoming freshman students who will be starting at the University of St. Francis in August of the next fall semester. SOAR is a way for new students to register for classes, get to know USF better, and begin their lives as Saints!
July: Complete the New Student Check-In Process
In order to start classes, all students are required to complete a final check-in process through the USF portal. Starting in July 2023, when you log into the portal, you will be prompted to complete these steps.
Finalize/Confirm:
1. Housing arrangements
2. Class schedule
3. Financial Aid
4. Tuition payments/setting up payment plans
Use this RSVP to schedule an in person summer orientation and registration date. At this event, you will register with an advisor for your Fall semester classes. Class registration happens on a first come first serve basis and students benefit from coming early!
New Student Welcome Weekend is a series of informative sessions about USF. It provides an opportunity for new students to meet other students in their class while attending fun events. It also includes New Student Transfer Orientation on Friday, August 18, which provides transfers with specific information about their area of study, and allows them to build connections with other transfer students.
