Students aren't the only ones entering the Lyndon State community. Parents of new Lyndon State students will enter into a relationship of their own with the college, and we want to ensure that they get the information they need to help them begin a successful transition as well. This special program offered for parents, runs alongside the student program, addressing the specific needs and concerns of college parents.
Parents who wish to attend the SOAR program with their students can register for the program by simply filling out the Parent/Guest section on the SOAR Registration Form. To help ensure a successful SOAR experience for your student and to prevent any possible delays in his/her registration process, it is important that your student complete the following steps as he/she registers for and prepares for his/her SOAR program:
