Summer Sessions

• I am a current UCR student (a degree-seeking student enrolled or planning to enroll in Spring 2025 and continuing through Fall 2025):

  You do not need to submit a summer sessions application. You will enroll through R'Web just as you would in any other term. 

• I am an incoming Fall 2025 freshman or transfer:

  If you have already SIR'd (submitted your Statement of Intent to Register) with the Undergraduate Admissions office, you will not need to submit a Summer Sessions application. You will enroll through R’Web.

• I am not currently attending UCR, but my R’Web Student Profile says I am Ready to Enroll:

  You do not need to submit a summer sessions application. You will enroll through R’Web  as you would in any other quarter.

• I am a dismissed UCR student:

  You must submit the online application; additionally, you will need contact an academic advisor in the college (CHASS, CNAS, etc.) where you plan to eventually re-admit before you will be permitted to enroll in any classes.

• I am an inactive UCR student (I attended UCR previously as a degree-seeking student, but stopped attending for reasons other than graduating or being academically dismissed, and I am not “Ready to Enroll” per R’Web):

  How you enroll in summer classes depends on your future plans at the university. If you plan to graduate in Summer 2025 or readmit for Fall 2025, you should not submit the Summer Sessions Application. Instead, you should seek advice from your college office. If you plan to readmit to UCR Winter 2026 or later, or you never plan to readmit to UCR because you have transferred to another institution, you must submit the Summer Sessions online application to enroll in summer courses. 

• I am a non-UCR visiting student (including past graduates of UCR):

  Please submit our online application, which will be available March 3, 2025. Once your application is processed (allow three to five business days for processing), you will receive an e-mail confirmation with instructions on how to access R'Web,  where you can enroll in your courses, view your charges, and make online payments.

  Prerequisites
  Some courses have prerequisite requirements that must be cleared before you can enroll. Please see the schedule of classes to determine if your course has a prerequisite. You will not be able to enroll in the class if you have not met the prerequisites. 

  If you are not a UCR student but have completed coursework or have practical experience comparable to the listed prerequisites, please consult with the academic department offering the course prior to enrolling to see if the prerequisites can be waived. Find the department contact on our Enrollment page. It may be necessary to submit your transcripts. Please note that you will need a UCR student ID number before any prerequisites can be formally cleared. 

  Please note that students who have completed a UCR course with a C- or better will not be allowed to repeat that course, even if returning to UCR as a summer-only visitor. For more information, please contact an academic advisor in the college.

• I am an international student who currently attends UCR:

  You do not need to submit a summer sessions application. You will enroll through R'Web just as you would in any other term. If you have further questions about your status as an international student, please contact the International Students and Scholars office.

• I am an international student who is dismissed from UCR:

  Dismissed UCR international students must first apply to UCR Extension's University Credit Program (UCP) to receive a valid I-20 and remain in F-1 student status. After enrolling in the UCP, students will receive information from Extension advisors about how to register and enroll in Summer Sessions courses. For further information or details about the application, please visit UCR Extension's UCP webpage or email their Global Engagement Team at success@ucx.ucr.edu. 

• I am an international student and I do not currently attend UCR:

  Visiting international students who are applying with an F1 visa and who will need a valid I-20 must first apply through UCR Extension's University Credit Program (UCP). You must have strong English language skills, a minimum TOEFL score of 550 (paper) or 80 (iBT), and must have completed secondary school. For further information or details about the application, please visit UCR Extension's UCP webpage or email their Global Engagement Team at success@ucx.ucr.edu

  If you are an international student currently attending another school in the United States and would like to take UCR Summer Session courses concurrently, please request a letter of approval from your current school's DSO (designated school official of "immigration" official) and send the approval letter to Matthew Jin before applying to Summer Sessions directly.

All Summer Sessions students enroll for classes in R'Web, UCR's student portal. You will need a NetID and a password to log into R'Web.

Summer enrollment is scheduled to begin April 1, 2025. UCR seniors will be the first group to enroll. Enrollment will then open in stages to allow juniors to enroll, then sophomores, freshman and incoming fall admits. Visiting, non-UCR students (including inactive and dismissed UCR students) will be the last group to enroll.

Please check R'Web beginning March 3, 2025, for your assigned time ticket, which tells you when you can enroll in summer classes. To view your time ticket, log into R'Web, click on the Student Profile, change the term to Summer 2025, and click on the registration notices. When it's time for you to enroll in classes, you'll follow these steps:

• Go to R'Web. 
• Enter your NetID and password. 
• Under the Self-Service section, click on the Registration icon. 
• Select Prepare for Registration. 
• Under Terms Open for Registration, select Summer 2025 (available March 3, 2025). 
• You will now reach the course search page. The next step depends on whether or not you need to search for classes, or if you already know the CRN's (Course Reference Number). Click on the options below for additional steps. 

• I don't know the CRN's for the classes I want to enroll in.
  • Select the "Find Classes" tab to browse through the Summer 2025 schedule of classes. Enter your search criteria, e.g., Subject and Course Number, Subject, etc., and press Search.  
  • Once you have found a class that you are interested in, click Add. This will add the class to your Summary. You are not enrolled just yet--notice that the Status column says "pending." 
  • When you are ready to enroll, go to the Action column in your summary and select Add from the dropdown box for each class you wish to enroll in. 
  • Click Submit. 
  • To verify that your enrollment was successful, check the Status Column for each class that you attempted to enroll in. If the status now says Registered, you have successfully enrolled.
