SOAR Virtual Drop-ins

CCAS Virtual Drop-ins closed for the summer

As of Friday, August 18 at 4:30 p.m. Central Time, we will no longer offer virtual drop-ins for the summer. For advising questions and appointment availability, please contact our main office at ccas@ccas.wisc.edu or 608-265-5460.

CCAS Peer Advisors host virtual drop-in sessions for students who have attended SOAR in summer 2023. Our CCAS Peer Advisors are current UW-Madison students who are highly-trained to help students with their advising and enrollment process. After you have met with your professional advisor, you can attend our virtual drop-ins if you have questions after your SOAR advising experience.

Common topics for virtual drop-ins include:

  • Help with selecting and enrolling in courses
  • How to swap a course
  • Understanding waitlisted courses
  • Help using Course Search and Enroll
  • Learn where to find exam schedules and textbooks
  • Discuss location of courses
  • Any other academic questions!

You can also attend more than one drop-in session if you have more questions throughout the summer. We are here to help you during your transition to UW-Madison!

Note: SOAR Virtual Drop-ins are not available for continuing UW-Madison students.

How to Access Virtual Drop-ins

To access a virtual drop-in session:

  2. You will receive an email from questions@ccas.wisc.edu with a Zoom link within 5-15 minutes to enter the drop-in session.
  3. When you enter the Zoom session, you will start in the waiting room and our Peer Advisors will admit you shortly after you join.

You will not get an invitation email if you submit a sign-up form outside our scheduled drop-in times. Please only submit a sign-up form during a drop-in session time that you are available.
