2023 International Freshmen Student Advising Online

School of Social Sciences | Undergraduate Student Affairs Office

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

All incoming international first year students will have an ACADEMIC HOLD placed on your record. Don't worry - this is normal!! It is to ensure that you complete your online academic advising. 

All incoming first-year students are also required to attend an in-person orientation.

The international students have the option of attending either SPOP or ISPOP.

If you have not done so yet, please make sure to register for SPOP or ISPOP! https://reserve.orientation.uci.edu/

We will email the students who have made reservations for ISPOP with instructions for the online academic advising starting July 11th!
