• Planning & Registering for Your First Quarter

Modules include PowerPoint presentations, videos, printable PDFs and resource links.

Once you complete the presentations, start reviewing the fall schedule. Use the following resources to help plan your fall schedule. We recommend making more than one plan.

Day of Your SPOP Session

Come prepared and bring your laptop or tablet. You are expected to have completed the advising and registration modules before your SPOP session and to have a general understanding of how to register for classes.

Our advisors will check student progress on Canvas. Students who do not demonstrate that they have completed these modules by their assigned SPOP session may be asked to leave the session and register at a later time.

After Your SPOP Session

• Continue to complete the UCI Orientation SPOP Canvas modules as they are released, and review the Claire Trevor School of the Arts SPOP Advising/Registration 26-27 Canvas modules.
• If you have questions related to UCI Admissions, including test scores, transcripts or admission status, please contact them through the UCI Admit Portal.
• Due to SPOP sessions and scheduling, appointments with Arts Academic Counselors for incoming first-year students will not be available until the start of the fall quarter.
• Check your UCI email for updated information about fall instruction and the Welcome Week schedule, including auditions and placement exams.
