Welcome! In this video, we will walk through the process of registering
for a Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration—or SOAR—session at Missouri State University.
Before you register, make sure you have the following information:
Your BearPass Login and password. If you haven’t created a BearPass Login, visit the link above and follow the instructions listed.
Memorize your BearPass login and password, as you will use them to register for classes during your SOAR session.
Dates for which you and any family members attending are available. Remember, you are required to attend the ENTIRE session.
The email and mailing addresses of family members attending with you.
Begin by visiting my.missouristate.edu and logging in using your BearPass login.
On your My Missouri State portal, select the Academics tab.
Find the channel (or box) labeled “New Student” and click the “Register for a SOAR Session” link.
If you don’t see this channel, you may not be required to attend SOAR—contact the SOAR office for further assistance.
The SOAR registration system will open. Before you register for a session, let’s look at some features of the system.
The left side of the screen displays the sections of the reservation system
and notes which sections you have completed with check marks.
The word “Incomplete” is displayed until your reservation is fully submitted.
Blue boxes near the top of each section display important information and instructions for completing your reservation.
Read this information very carefully as you progress through the system.
The first section displays personal information about you.
Make any necessary changes or additions, then click the “Save & Continue” button near the bottom of the screen.
The Questionnaire section asks you information that will help prepare you for your arrival at SOAR.
Select your major and enter in additional information. If your major changes later,
update this information at least five business days prior to your SOAR session.
Once you’re done, click the “Save & Continue” button.
The Dates screen will display any open sessions you are eligible to attend.
Sessions that are closed or you are ineligible to attend will not be displayed. Select the session that best fits your schedule.
Please note that space in any session is not held for you by simply selecting a date—you MUST fully complete your reservation.
If you are attending a two-day SOAR session during June or July, you will also be asked if you want to reserve on-campus accommodations
overnight. Once you’ve made your selections, click the “Save & Continue” button.
The Guest Screen allows you to reserve space for family members who will attend SOAR with you.
To register family members, click the “Add a Guest” link.
A new window will appear; enter the necessary information and click the “Add” button.
Repeat this process for each family member attending. Once you’ve finished, click the “Save & Continue” button.
The My Reservation screen allows you to review or change any of the information about your reservation.
If you need to make any changes, click the “Edit Section” button for the appropriate section.
Note that your reservation is still incomplete; to complete your reservation, you must click the “Submit” button near the top of the screen.
As a reminder, no payment for SOAR is necessary at the time of registration.
SOAR fees are not charged to your student account until you check in on the morning of your session.
The screen should now note that your reservation is complete,
and a confirmation email will be automatically sent to your Missouri State email account.
Read this confirmation email carefully, because it contains important information about preparing for your SOAR session.
To access your email account, visit your My Missouri State portal and click the envelope icon near the upper right corner of the screen.
Congratulations on registering for a SOAR session. We’re looking forward to meeting you at SOAR!
