SOAR 2008
First-year Students
May 16-17 and June 21
Transfer Students
June 21
Spring Orientation and Registration (SOAR) is a time to prepare you for what many agree are the best years of your life. You will register for fall classes, speak personally with EMU faculty and staff, tour the campus and ask questions, review academic requirements, and meet other new students coming to EMU (maybe even your future roommate!). We strongly encourage you to be a part of this program to begin the transition into college.
We provide complimentary lodging in our campus residence halls. Meals are free for students already admitted to EMU! Your parents/guardians are welcome to attend with you. (Parents may purchase meal tickets in advance.)
Please complete the advising profile to help us plan for your arrival on campus on May 16-17 or June 21.
