Student Orientation and Registration at SAU Tech

Your Launchpad to College Success

Welcome to SAU Tech! We are thrilled to have you join our Rocket family. The Student Orientation and Registration (SOAR) program is the first step in making sure you have everything you need to succeed. Orientation is more than just a checklist — it’s your introduction to college life, campus support, and the SAU Tech community.

Every new student is required to attend a SOAR session before starting classes. These in-person orientation days are designed to walk you through everything, from registering for classes to getting your student ID and meeting your future classmates.

SOAR (Student Orientation and Registration) is a required orientation session for all new SAU Tech students, including recent high school graduates, transfer students, adult learners, and student-athletes. Through SOAR, you’ll take care of essential enrollment tasks, meet the people who will support your journey, and gain a clearer picture of what life at SAU Tech is all about.
