As an international student, you will not register during the ISPOP session in September. Instead, you may register beginning Wednesday, July 15, at 9 a.m. PDT, after you complete the Academic Canvas Modules. If you are in a different time zone, please use the Time Zone Converter.

We will host a virtual group advising session on Tuesday, July 14, at 5 p.m. PDT to review expectations and recommended course registration. If you are unable to attend this session, email artscounselor@uci.edu for your recommended course selections.
