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. All SOAR programs for fall 2021 students will be held virtually. During Warhawks SOAR you will:
- Learn important information about campus to help you prepare for your education at UW-W
- Connect with an academic advisor to discuss your academic options
