Congratulations and welcome to the Anteater family! We are so happy to welcome you to the School of Social Sciences.

Information & Instructions

 

All new international students must complete 3 tasks to be eligible for enrolling in classes.

Task 1: Register for Orientation (ISPOP or SPOP)

All incoming students are required to attend an in-person orientation program.
Most international students will attend ISPOP (International Student Orientation), but if you want to attend SPOP, that's also a great choice!

It is important that you register as soon as you can, otherwise, we will be forced to think that you will NOT be attending UCI.

Task 2: Submit Pre-Advising Questionnaire

A link to the Questionnaire was emailed to the incoming international students in the School of Social Sciences.  Please follow the instructions and submit the Questionnaire.

 

Task 3: Complete Academic Advising & Quiz

Those of you who have registered for ISPOP and submitted the Pre-Advising Questionnaire will receive a special link to our online advising information.

Once you complete the advising and pass the quiz, you will be able to enroll in classes when the enrollment window opens!

FINALLY: Enroll in Classes

After completing all 3 tasks above, you will be able to enroll in classes!
