Continue your educational journey at UC Riverside
No matter where a student's educational journey starts, they can continue it at UCR.

But in order to do that, admitted transfer students must submit their Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) by June 1.

Transfer students must also register for Transfer Orientation Day by Aug. 1. This mandatory one-day program for new UCR transfer students will help them learn about what resources are available for their academic and personal success and give them the chance to network with faculty, staff and other UCR transfer students.

Transfer students can choose from five sessions in September: Sept. 3, Sept. 4, Sept. 5, Sept. 6 and Sept. 9. Sessions start at 7:30 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Students should plan on attending the entire session.
