Frequently Asked Questions

Our Register Online page will walk you through the registration process. You will need your NetID to register, which can be found on your MyUCR Account approximately three business days after you have submitted your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR).

Your Orientation fee will be deferred to your Fall Statement of Account. Deferring the payment forwards the charges and any related date-change or cancellation fees to your Statement of Account. These can be paid with check, money order or credit card.

Winter Transfer Orientation will have only one virtual and in-person session; there will be no make-up session. If the dates do not work for you, please contact our office.

Department advisors will help you with class selection, and they will show you how to register for classes.
