To Login: Step 1: Go to http://www.hawkeyecollege.edu! Step 2: Click the large button on top of the webpage: "My Hawkeye". Step 3: Under "Student Online Services" click on the link: "SOAR". Step 4: If this is your first time logging into your SOAR account, read the directions about your NEW user name and password: USER NAME - Your first name.last name in lower case. For example: jane.doe PASSWORD - The original number is the month and day and year of your birth expressed in six digits. For example: January 4, 1983 = 010483 If you are NOT a new user of SOAR and have already successfully logged in, you have already changed your password to another one of your choice. Please be sure you use that password. If you have forgotten your password, select "What's My Password" on the log in screen. After reading the directions on the initial student screen, click "I Agree" at the bottom of the page. This will take you to the SOAR menu. Step 5: In the top menu click "Log In" and enter your username and password. Step 6: If this is your first time logging into SOAR or your password has expired, you should be directed to another login screen where you will change your password. Enter your username with a new password and confirm the new password. Your new password must be 6 to 9 characters in length, with at least one number and one letter. Step 7: Once logged in, click "Students". Step 8: This screen is your personal Hawkeye Services Screen. Click on the link "Register for Sections". Step 9: Click on "Search and Register for Sections". This will take you to the Search/Register for Sections screen. To Search and Register: Step 1: Refer to the example below. Choose the "Term" with the drop down menu. You must always select the term. Then to search by course catalog number, choose the first three letters of the course catalog number underneath "Subject" from the drop down list and enter the course number underneath "Course Numbers". An example is "Introduction to Psychology" has a course number of PSY-111. The subject is PSY and the course number is 111. Then click "Submit" at the bottom.    Step 2: As seen below, look over the courses checking meeting info, status, location and faculty. Once you find a section that you want, click on the white box to the left under "Select Section" adding a check mark---you have just marked that section for selection. The six digit number underneath the course catalog number is the synonym number and is the number needed to register for a course. It is always a good idea to write this number down in case your search is lost. Click on the "Submit" button at the bottom.       IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are not sure of the course number, but want to find a course that is a transfer course, a technical course, or a developmental course, you can choose the subject as directed above, but instead of entering a course number, choose the "Course Level" and select the type of course for which you are searching:    Step 3: As seen in the next picture this is your shopping cart called "Preferred Sections"; you have not registered for the course yet -- you have just put it into your Preferred Sections. You can either click the back button a couple of times and start a new search or register for this course, if registration is open. To register: review the information provided. If you indeed want this course, choose "Register" using the drop down menu underneath Action (as seen in the second picture below). Click "Submit". You have just registered for the course and you can start a new search by clicking "Section Selection Criteria" at the bottom of the page. If you do not want to register and want to remove a course in your Preferred Sections just choose "Remove from List" in the Action drop down instead of "Register". Click "Submit" and start your next search. Preferred Sections will remain in your shopping cart until you either register or remove them. This allows you to select sections and return later to register. If you have Preferred Sections selected, when you return to register, select "Register for previously selected sections" instead of "Search and Register". You do not need to register for all sections in your shopping cart, only for those you have decided you want or need.       Step 4: After you are done with your schedule there will be a link at the bottom of the page: "My Schedule". Click it, choose your term and you will be provided a printable copy of your schedule. Print and you are done! Be sure to log off of your SOAR account when you are finished registering!
