SOAR reservation process:
What to expect
How to choose a school/college/advising service
UW–Madison has nine undergraduate schools and colleges, which house more than 100 major programs. When you make a SOAR reservation you will be asked to choose the school/college/advising service you would like to be advised in.
First, if you know what your major will be, look up which school or college it is based in by visiting the full list of majors. (Note that it is completely acceptable and very common to be undecided on a major at this point in your college career.)
Then, use the following statements to help you decide where to receive advising at SOAR.
I am decided on a major. » Choose the school/college that houses your major.
I am completely undecided. » Choose Cross-College Advising Service.
I am undecided about a particular major, but know the school/college that I want to be in. » Choose the school/college where you want to complete a major.
I have narrowed down my interests, but the majors I am considering are in different schools/colleges. Example: I am considering Biomedical Engineering (College of Engineering) or Genetics (College of Agricultural and Life Sciences). » Choose Cross-College Advising Service
