You will also interact with current students and staff and learn about student life at UC Irvine. SPOP dates are shown below. If you attend a SPOP, CHP (Campuswide Honors Program) Advising, or Summer Bridge Program, you will receive academic counseling as part of program activities. SPOP sessions will fill quickly so enroll early.

You are subject to UC Irvine Breadth (general education) requirements if IGETC is not completed prior to beginning the fall quarter.

Placement Testing

Tests take place as early as June and special accomodations can be made to take them in a facility near you! ALL PALCEMENT TESTING MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE ATTENDING ORIENTATION.

Parking

If you are attending one of our orientation sessions you must purchase a parking permit at an Information Kiosk for $7.00. It is recommended that you park in the Social Sciences Parking Structure. Since parking may be difficult to find please give yourself enough time (approximately 10 - 15 minutes) to park and walk to the Social Ecology I Building.
