Science Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR)

We would like to start off by welcoming you to UNB and our Science Community. Enjoy a few words from our Dean, Dr. Gary Saunders that was recorded in 2020.

STEP 1:

We hope you had an opportunity to start your journey at UNB Fredericton with our Spring Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) day and had a chance to interact with us! 

SOAR is one of the best ways to get your university career off to a good start and gain valuable information for your first-year experience! It is also the first step towards your advising and course registration with the Faculty of Science.

Spring SOAR took place virtually on May 29th.  There were a variety of sessions offered to ensure you have the tools, resources, and information required to successfully complete course registration and prepare for fall classes. Did you miss SOAR and the first step towards course registration? No problem, to gain assess to the recordings go to SOAR 2021. To access our Faculty session recording please go SCIENCE.

STEP 2:

In order to complete your registration for Fall and Winter term it is extremely important to register for one of our Registration weeks in your areas of interest.
