SOAR is a two-day, overnight program. While we encourage students to stay overnight, we understand that may not be possible for everyone. If you choose not to stay overnight, you will need to return to campus on Friday for advising and class registration.

Do you plan to stay overnight?

Yes

Are you interested in changing your major?

Yes

An admission representative will follow up with you to finalize your change of major.

How would you like to complete your placement testing? *

I will take placement tests online at home before orientation

I will take placement tests on-campus (Available Dates: 5/16 at 10am, 5/28 at 4pm, or 6/16 at 2pm)

I will submit my SAT or ACT score instead of taking placement tests. (This will not affect your admission or scholarship offer.)

Select your On-Campus Placement Testing Day:

Saturday, May 16 - 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Thursday, May 28- 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Tuesday, June 16 - 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

To obtain your score report, log in to your CollegeBoard account (SAT) or MyACT account (ACT) and download a PDF copy.

Upload ACT or SAT Test Score.
