SOAR into Eagle Nation!
Get ready to discover Eagle traditions, meet your advisor, register for classes and learn all about life in the CSC family! And it all starts here – at Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR).
What is SOAR?
SOAR — Student Orientation and Registration — is a key event created for all new students to help you get registered for fall and feel fully prepared for your CSC journey. You’ll also get to meet your other fellow Eagles who are just as excited as you are to start their college adventures. So, prepare yourself for a great experience!
During SOAR, you will:
- Register for your fall courses and meet with faculty
- Visit one-on-one with financial aid specialists and academic advisors
- Explore the support services designed to help you succeed
- Have lunch on us
All new first-year students are required to attend a SOAR program. It’s an essential step in helping you determine your fall classes, register, and make that transition to college student. If you are a new student and live more than 400 miles from campus or you have extenuating circumstances and are unable to attend, please contact us at: Admissions@csc.edu.

Additional guests over the age of ten (10) will be charged $50 per guest and will also be added to the student’s fall bill.
Are my Parents/Guardians Invited to Attend?
We are pleased your student will be attending CSC and joining the Eagle Family this fall. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to attend our SOAR and Move-In events with your student. When your student registers for a SOAR event they will have the option to list how many guests will be in attendance.
What do I Bring to SOAR?
Before you attend SOAR, login to your MyCSC and complete the items on your to-do list. It's very important to have all transcript requests completed ahead of time, so that you are able to register for classes during SOAR.
