Incoming BGSU students to SOAR through cyberspace

Bowling Green State University has yet to decide whether students will return to campus or study online, but new students will receive orientation and register online this summer.

In. a statement issued April 24, Provost Joe Whitehead wrote: ““We have decided to move Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) to a virtual experience. While many aspects of SOAR will look different this year, we are committed to providing our incoming students a warm welcome and a thorough on-boarding experience.”

Each entering student will need to participate in a SOAR webinar. Before then advisors will do an initial scheduling of courses for students. Then after the webinar, students will meet individually with their advisors to adjust their schedules and ask questions.

The fall welcoming activities will be adjusted to include any information not covered through SOAR.
