Chicago Campus SOAR

What to Expect at Chicago Campus SOAR

Dominican’s SOAR program is required for all incoming new students. Chicago Campus SOAR is a one-day event where you’ll register for your first semester classes, learn about campus resources, connect with faculty/staff, and meet both new and current students.

Space is limited and registrations may close before the deadline, so we encourage students to make arrangements to attend the entire program early. View Chicago SOAR dates here.

Please note that students must pay their tuition deposit prior to registering for SOAR. Soon after paying your deposit, you will receive an email to register for Student Orientation.
