SOAR Fees & Lodging
SOAR Fees & Lodging
Below is an explanation of the SOAR fees for both admitted students (freshman) and their guests. Guest registration may vary once SOAR registration opens due to overall session occupancy.
Payment for any applicable fees (guest attendance fees or on-campus lodging) will
be accepted online during the registration process by using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, or Discover) or an authorized Visa/MasterCard debit card.
SOAR Attendance Fee
| Attendance Fee Type | Fee |
| Admitted Freshman Student | No Fee |
| Guest* | $36 per guest 2 guest limit per student |
*Due to overall occupancy restrictions per SOAR session, we cannot guarantee all students will be allowed to bring a guest. In this case, we encourage students to select the next available session where guest registration is possible
On-Campus lodging Fee
| Room Type | Fee Per Person | |
| Student | Double Occupancy | $25/person |
| Guest |
Double Occupancy | $25/person |

Overnight lodging in the residence halls DOES NOT include linens. Students and guests registered to stay on campus should bring linens
for an extra-long twin bed, pillow, blanket, towel, and wash cloth.
| NEED TO KNOW |
|
Students will be roomed with another student of the same gender, separate from their guests. Guests (parents, etc.) may request to room with another guest (ex. spouse or another student's parent). The lodging fee is required for each guest staying on-campus overnight regardless of age. *Limit 2 guests per room. |
If you have selected SOAR On-Campus Lodging on your reservation, please arrive prior to SOAR check-in to receive your residence hall room key. Check-in for on-campus lodging is located in New Hall South lobby (see Campus Maps) and begins at 8:00 am (central) on the first day of your reserved SOAR session. This will allow students who need to complete pre-SOAR tests (e.g. ACCUPlacer) to check in prior to testing.*
*Students will be notified via their Tech email if they are required to complete any pre-SOAR tests.
Other Lodging Options
Participants can also choose to make their own arrangement at a local hotel, or if feasible, can stay at home or with a friend overnight. For a list of hotels that have partnerships and discounts with the University, check out our Campus Visit website and locate the "Hotels/Places to Stay" section.
Don't Forget... When making your reservation ask if the hotel provides a Tech discount.
