Application for Admission

Serving high school and community college students, their parents, and counselors, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions provides information about college preparation and admission of new undergraduate freshman and transfer students. Counselors visit high schools and community col- leges to provide individual pre-admission advising to students. Staff mem- bers and peer mentors are also available by appointment and on a walk-in basis for pre-admission advising. The office hosts various events throughout the year which give prospective students and their families the opportunity to visit the campus; meet faculty, staff, and students; and learn more about UCR and its programs and opportunities for undergraduates. The office is also responsible for the addition of transfer units to the UCR records of continuing and readmitted students. Inquiries may be addressed to:

UCR seeks to recruit and retain an academically strong student body that has demonstrated the rigorous preparation needed for admission to a major research institution and reflects the diversity of our state and region.

This section describes the two-phase undergraduate admission and selection process at UCR:

• 1. Satisfying the University of California minimum admission requirements

• 2. Selection by UCR according to the principles of Comprehensive Review,

as determined by the UCR faculty

Meeting UC minimum admission requirements will not guarantee admission to UCR. Applicants who seek to increase their likelihood for admission should strive for achievement well beyond UC minimum requirements.

Final determination of admission will be made within the context of campus enrollment goals.
