Miles Community College is excited that you will begin your educational career with us! We hope you are equally excited about this new chapter in your life. In preparation to make your transition to college as smooth as possible, we invite you to attend one of our Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) sessions this summer.

All new students are required to attend an Orientation before they begin their first semester at Miles Community College. SOAR sessions will allow new students to become acquainted with the programs and support services available at MCC and will introduce them to their responsibilities as an MCC student. Students will also take placement tests, meet with an advisor, and register for fall semester classes. By completing a SOAR session this summer, students and their families can be assured that all required college business is taken care of prior to arriving on campus for fall classes, making the transition to college life much less stressful!

Parents and guests are also encouraged to attend SOAR with you, as there is programming specifically for them. They will meet college officials, learn about campus services, and understand more about the Miles Community College community.

At SOAR, students will be able to:

• Obtain student ID cards and learn about IT resources
• Learn about MCC’s conversion to Banner, which will provide online access to grades, bills, schedules, and other services
• Learn about student organizations and activities
• Gain an understanding of degree and graduation requirements at MCC

Students and their guests will be able to:

• Learn about the many resources available to MCC students
• Learn about financial aid, billing, and debt management
• Enter to win a variety of prizes

...and much, much more!

You may choose to attend one of our SOAR sessions listed here. Sessions will begin at 10:00 a.m. with placement testing and run until approximately 3:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. Lunch will be served. You may also schedule placement testing for an alternate day and time, but would still need to attend one of the SOAR sessions from 1:00-4:00 p.m. To view the SOAR calendar select the link below.
