Enrolling in Summer Sessions Classes

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. 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 1 for your assigned time ticket to see when you can enroll in Summer Sessions classes. When it's time for you to enroll in classes, you'll follow these steps:

  1. Go to R'Web.
  2. Enter your NetID and password.
  3. Under the Self-Service section, click on the "Registration" icon.
  4. Select "Register for Classes".
  5. Under Terms Open for Registration, select "Summer 2019".
  6. You will now reach the class search page. The next step depends on whether or not you need to search for classes (Step 6A) or if you already know the CRN (Course Reference Number) (Step 6B).
    6A. If you do not know the CRN's for the classes you wish to enroll in: 6B. If you already know the CRN's for the classes you wish to enroll in:

    Select the "Find Classes" tab to browse through and enroll in classes.

    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. You will then need to select "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.

    • Please keep in mind that you will need to add all linked sections, such as lectures, discussions, labs, etc., at the same time to complete your enrollment successfully; otherwise, an error will occur.
    • If you get an error, you will not be able to enroll in the class until you resolve that error. For example, if you get a message that says the classes you have attempted to enroll in are in time conflict, you will need to adjust your schedule so that your classes are not in time conflict with each other.
    • If you get an error message that says you have not met the prerequisite even though you believe you have:

    Select the "Enter CRNs" tab to bypass the search function and enroll in classes directly. In the text box, enter the five-digit CRN. If you wish to add more than one at a time, click on the link that says "+Add Another CRN". After you have finished entering the CRN's, select "Add to Summary".

    The Summary section should now list your classes. Verify that these are the classes you intended to add. Please note that you are not enrolled just yet — notice that the status shows 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. You will then need to select "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.

Forms

Summer Sessions Application

The Summer Sessions application is now closed for 2019. Check back in March 2020 to apply for Summer 2020! 

Visiting students need to complete this form to apply for Summer Sessions at UCR. Admission to UCR Summer Sessions is a separate and distinct procedure from regular admission to the university and does not give or imply admission to UCR. If you are interested in applying to UCR, please contact Undergraduate Admissions. If you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree at UCR, please contact Graduate Admissions.

Proceed to Form

 

Special Studies Application (for enrollment in -198I, -298I or other variable unit classes)

Use this form if you would like to enroll in directed group study, independent study, research or internship classes (190-290 series). A faculty member’s signature of approval is required. An academic advisor's signature is additionally required for CNAS and BCOE students. The Summer Sessions office will complete the enrollment process after receiving your form. Special studies are charged the per-unit fee and referendum fees for the full 10-week term.

Proceed to Form

 

Enrollment Adjustment Form

Use this form to request any of the following actions: add a class after R'Web is closed, enroll into a full class (space and waitlist permitting), withdraw from a class, change the grading basis of a class, waive prerequisites or resolve a time conflict between two classes. You must be an active UCR student and have a NetID and password to use this form. You must complete the form online, then print and submit the form with all the required signatures to the Summer Sessions office by the posted deadline.

Please note that the Summer Sessions office can only approve Enrollment Adjustment Forms to add to a class that is full if there are zero students currently on the waitlist for the course. If there is an active waitlist, Summer Sessions cannot process the request because doing so would be unfair to the students on the waitlist. 

Proceed to Form

Exceptional Circumstances Petition

PLeUse this form only in cases in which circumstances causing the situation are clearly beyond your control. To use this form, you must have a UCR NetID and password. You MUST complete the form online, then print and submit the form with all the required signatures and supporting documentation to the appropriate office (more information below). A separate petition is required for each class, even if the explanation is the same.

Exceptional circumstances are defined as events that are beyond the student's control that prevent the student from meeting the applicable deadline(s). Examples of circumstances that are not exceptional and will be denied include, but are not limited to:

  • not needing or wanting a class
  • poor class performance
  • not knowing you were still enrolled in a class
  • not knowing the deadline to the procedure for changing your schedule
  • inability to pay for the class when the fees were due
  • having too heavy a class load
  • wishing to improve your GPA

Important things to consider when completing this petition:

  • In most circumstances, petitions should be filed before the class's final examination. Unexplained or excessive delay in filing a petition may be grounds for denial. Any delay in filing your petition must be accounted for in your explanation.
  • Your petition must be carefully prepared, thorough, clearly stated and submitted in one complete packet. Your petition may be turned away, delayed or denied if it lacks necessary details/evidence. 
  • Any false or suspicious declarations submitted with a petition packet will automatically be sent to Student Conduct & Academic Integrity Programs (SCAIP) for review.

Once you have printed the form and obtained the required signatures, you need to turn the form into the correct office. If you are a visiting, non-UCR student, you must turn your petition into the Summer Sessions office. Please note that Summer Sessions reserves the right to request additional clarification and/or documentation in support of a petition. If such a request is made, the student has 30 days (unless specified otherwise) from the date of the request to submit the information, or the petition will automatically be denied.

If you are a continuing or dismissed UCR student, you must turn your petition into the appropriate college office for review:

  • BCOE – Office of Undergraduate Student Academic Affairs, Skye Hall 310
  • CNAS – Undergraduate Academic Advising Center, 1223 Pierce Hall
  • CHASS – Student Academic Affairs, 3400 Humanities & Social Sciences Bldg.
  • Business – Undergraduate Business Program, 2340 Olmsted Hall
