Soar

Take Flight with 1:1 Success Coaching/Mentoring

Soar is UNC’s academic advising office for students with undeclared majors. Soar is an academic support program for transfer students, first-generation students and participants in Bears First, Independent Youth, and Denver Scholarship Foundation.

It’s your source for one-on-one success coaching for academic and personal assistance in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

3 Things Soar Can Do for You

• Boost your grades: Soar participants are more likely to earn higher GPAs and more likely to stay in good academic standing.
• Expand your support network: Build friendships with peer mentors and get involved in Soar academic workshops and social events.
• Ease your worries: Take advantage of on- and off-campus resources that take the pressure off personal concerns like housing, food, and mental health.

Navigating things like signing up for classes and figuring out financial aid and things like that, can be pretty intimidating. The Soar program swooped in there and helped me with all of these different challenges to be able to navigate these things and really feel comfortable and secure at UNC.”
