Welcome to UCI Orientation!

Welcome to UCI and the Anteater Family! We are so excited to serve you and your family through the Student Parent Orientation Program (SPOP) this summer. SPOP is designed to teach you about life at UCI and empower you to embrace all the opportunities that await you as an Anteater!

Please refer to the first-year, transfer, or international page to learn more about your orientation requirements and upcoming important dates.

What should I be doing right now to prepare for orientation?

Please review our website thoroughly to learn more about SPOP, important upcoming dates, and more. We understand that you may have lots of questions about orientation, and our website covers many of them! If you have any questions, please reach out to orientation@uci.edu.

Our first email communication to new students will be send on Friday, May 17th, so be on the lookout for that!

Other Important Information

We will be taking photos and videos throughout orientation to use on our website, social media, or other promotional materials!

If you are an incoming graduate student, please contact your program for more information about your orientation requirements. Our office coordinates orientation programs for incoming undergraduate students only.
