Warhawks SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising, & Registration)

Once admitted to UW-Whitewater, one of your next steps is to participate in a Warhawks SOAR (Student Orientation, Advising, & Registration) program. During Warhawks SOAR you will:

Learn important information about campus to help you prepare for your education at UWW
Connect with other new Warhawks
Meet with Academic Advisors to select your classes
Register for classes

Warhawks SOAR is required for all new students to enroll in classes.

When you register for Warhawks SOAR:

A $100 enrollment deposit is due.
A new student fee will be assessed and added to the student's first semester bill. The new student fee funds all of the new student and family programming for our new Warhawks.
- $90 for freshman
- $50 for transfer
- Students changing to the Whitewater campus from the Rock County campus are not charged the new student fee, as you are a current UWW student.
