Start your orientation with Summer Orientation and Registration (SOAR)
SOAR is the first of two mandatory orientation programs for all new students to help make your experience at Hamline exceptional. You'll meet the faculty and staff who will guide you on your academic journey, connect with New Student Mentors and future classmates, and register for your first semester of courses at Hamline.
You're almost there! Attend your final orientation in the fall
Fall orientation is the second mandatory orientation for all new students. During this program, you'll meet with your academic advisor, attend your first first-year seminar class, and learn about the opportunities and support available for you on campus.
Choose a learning community
If you鈥檙e looking for a great way to have a built-in community from your very first class, are interested in diving into a topic and immersing yourself in it, and enjoy having perks like free book rental and early registration access to in-demand courses, joining a Hamline learning community might be right for you.
An entire series of courses, just for you. Explore first year seminars (FYSEM)
Your FYSEM is an opportunity to learn about a unique topic that interests you while you develop the skills of careful reading, critical thinking, group discussion, and writing that are basic to college-level study. Two people will lead your course as you collaborate with your classmates in projects and discussions: your FYSEM instructor鈥攚ho is also your academic advisor鈥攁nd your New Student Mentor.
The moment I stepped on campus, I knew I'd be welcomed and accepted here. [My New Student Mentors] were really good role models, and having that first engaging experience helped me feel at home.
