🎉 Exciting News from the SORC!

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new Digital Check-In system! As part of our commitment to being more data-driven and enhancing the student experience, we’re taking a big step forward.

How does this benefit you? Each visit you make to the SORC will now provide us with valuable insights. This isn’t just about counting visits; it’s about understanding your needs and preferences.

📊 Post-visit assessments will also play a key role. These quick but crucial checks will help us continually refine our services, adjust our operating hours, and much more - all based on your feedback and habits.

Let’s make the SORC better together! 🤝
