Physically challenged students are valued members of our campus community. We take a lot of pride in the extensive resources and focus of our Office of Academic and Accessibility Resources (OAAR) to provide any assistance needed by students regardless of their situation.
The Journey Begins
You will ease your transition to college life at PBA during your first year with programs such as Welcome Weekend, Welcome Week, First Year Advising, Student Orientation Advising and Registration (SOAR) and interactions with faculty and staff who will help you grow academically and spiritually.
SOARing Above
SOAR is an acronym for Student Orientation Advising Registration, and this is a one-day pre-registration program offered during the summer. You’ll gain an early introduction to registration processes, advising services and how to orient yourself on our beautiful campus in West Palm Beach.
