SOAR注册将于2月开始. 15 每个日历年. SOAR日期在下面的标签中列出. 您可以通过以下方式注册:
注册SOAR大约需要15分钟. It is important the Northwest student is present during the registration process. 学生将被问及注册偏好, 个人信息确认, 与双学分课程等相关的学术信息.
完成入职登记后, the student will receive a confirmation email explaining their date selection and information regarding their SOAR Day.
Bearcat Tip: Please do not use your high school e-mail address (domain@highschool.edu. In most cases, the high school e-mail address will be inactivated once the student graduate’s high school.
6月和7月提供“翱翔日”. Early registration is encouraged to get the optimal date for the student and their support system. When registering for SOAR and an alternate date is needed (and the date is closed), please contact the 学生成功中心 to assist with accommodating your preferences.

如果学生需要改变他们的翱翔日在任何时候, they can access the orientation system through CatPAWS and select a different day.
强烈建议学生参与SOAR. SOAR allows students to start forming connections with other future Bearcats. 然而，迎新团队意识到生活总会发生. If you are unable to attend SOAR in-person, an online orientation is available.

Owens Library on Thursday, or your packet can be delivered to you during your first 大学研讨会 class that takes place on Friday.
是的，所有新生都需要优势. You will receive more information through your Northwest email account.
Yes, 大学研讨会 class meets several times during Advantage, beginning Friday. 大学研讨会 starts before your other classes because it helps get you acclimated to campus. Your 大学研讨会 Instructor and Peer Advisor (an upper-class student who is a teaching assistant) can act as your guides through those first days and weeks on campus, and even better, 你很快就有了一群新朋友.
通常情况下，你的家人会帮助你入住并安顿下来. However, if they have a long way to drive, your family may want to make reservations at a hotel 那天晚上在玛丽维尔. You will be so busy with activities throughout Advantage that you probably won't have a lot of time to spend with them. 在你意识到之前，就该回家探望了.
It's important for freshmen to attend Advantage, particularly since classes start that weekend. If you think you need to miss any part of Advantage, please email the 学生成功中心.
