Student Online Academic Readiness (SOAR)

MiraCosta offers many Student Online Academic Readiness 1-hour workshops online each semester. When workshops are available, you can sign up in advance for the date/time of your choice. As of the end of March, our spring 2025 SOAR workshops are concluded. More will be offered at the start of the summer term.
MiraCosta students can self-enroll in the Canvas SOAR course to have access to all the resources and practice opportunities provided there. Note, though, that students must participate in a live workshop in order to be credited with completing this.
Faculty can learn more about the content of the SOAR and how to know which students have attended a SOAR session.
You may view a recording of the workshop (just over an hour long) from spring 2025. The recording link includes Zoom's chapters and summaries to help you find just what you are interested in.
