    New Students

    During the pre-registration and regular registration periods, pre-professional advisors will be located in the Campus Center so that new students and those who have not completed the core curriculum can find advisors easily and receive advising efficiently.

    New entering freshmen will be paired with a SOAR (Success through Orientation Advising and Retention) advisor who will assist them in their transition to Thomas University and work with them to develop an academic plan tailored to fit their individual needs.
