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 visit the pages below and review our website thoroughly to learn about orientation requirements, dates, and FAQs.

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

Our first email communication to new students will be sent on Friday, May 2nd, so make sure to check your emails regularly.

We understand that you probably 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.

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.
