Additional SOAR Registration Questions

How can I register for a SOAR session date?

SOAR session registrations should be completed online, if possible. We ask that students register online to ensure that they create a BearPass Login, which is required for class registration at SOAR. If you are attempting to register online and are experiencing difficulties, please contact the SOAR office at (417) 836-7641 or toll-free at (888) 352-6781 for assistance.

I’m a student’s parent or family member. Can I register for a SOAR session for my student?

We recommend that you allow your student to create their own BearPass Login and make their own online reservation for SOAR. Doing so ensures that your student has the ability to access our class registration system at SOAR, and it also prepares your student to begin handling his or her new responsibilities as a college student. Please remind your student to reserve a SOAR session date as soon as possible so we can best accommodate your student’s and your needs.

I am having difficulty creating a BearPass Login and/or logging on to My Missouri State. Who can I contact for assistance?

Please call the Missouri State Computer Services Help Desk at (417) 836-5891. A Help Desk assistant will be happy to help you with any problems you may be experiencing. Unfortunately, SOAR office staff cannot assist you in the creation of computer accounts or logging on to My Missouri State.

I can log on to My Missouri State, but I am having difficulty using the online SOAR reservation system. Who can I contact for assistance?

Please call the SOAR office at (417) 836-7641 or toll-free at (888) 352-6781. A staff member will be happy to assist you with any problems you may be experiencing.

I'm eligible to attend a particular session, but it is not appearing as an option on the reservation system. Can I register for it?

If a SOAR session date you expect to be able to register for does not appear, it has likely filled to its maximum capacity and cannot accept additional reservations. We recommend that students who wish a particular session check the reservation system frequently to see if space has become available. Unfortunately, we are unable to maintain a waiting list for SOAR sessions.

If you are a student who is playing an intercollegiate sport or is admitted to the Honors College, contact our office at (417) 836-7641 or toll-free at (888) 352-6781 to inquire about available seats in specific sessions.

I want to attend with a friend but he/she is unable to register for the session in which I am registered. Can my friend join me in my session?

If a student is unable to register for the session you are attending, he/she is either prohibited from attending the session based on his/her admission date or the session has reached its maximum capacity. We recommend that students who wish to join you during your scheduled SOAR session check the reservation system frequently to see if space has become available. Unfortunately, we are unable to maintain a waiting list for SOAR sessions.

I’ve already registered. How do I update information about my SOAR session reservation?

Feel free to contact the SOAR office at (417) 836-7641 or toll-free at (888) 352-6781 at least five business days before your SOAR session date. A staff member will help you update your SOAR session reservation information.
