Continue on Your Path to Success in Summer Sessions
There are many benefits to taking classes at UCR during the summer. You can fulfill prerequisites and major requirements. You can earn units toward a minor. You can earn the units you need to get your degree on time or even graduate early. You can improve your GPA. With Summer Sessions, you can accomplish all that with session options that work with your schedule!
The steps you take to enroll in Summer Sessions classes will vary depending on the type of student you are. Read on to find the category you best fit. If you are still not sure what category you belong to or have additional enrollment questions, contact the Summer Sessions office at summer@ucr.edu or (951) 827-3044.
Determine If You Need to Apply
Select the category below that best describes you to see if you need to submit an application.
Keep in mind: if you are not a current UCR student but have previously taken classes at UCR or submitted an application, your UCR student ID number and NetID will stay the same and you may already have access to R'Web; however, course registration will be blocked until you submit a summer application and the Summer Sessions office updates your status to active.
-
I am a current UCR student (a degree-seeking student enrolled or planning to enroll in Spring 2020 and continuing through Fall 2020):
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 2020 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 to see 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 2020 or readmit for Fall 2020, 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 2020 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):

Clear Prerequisites
If you are a visiting (non-UCR) student and you are interested in enrolling in a summer course that has prerequisites, you will likely encounter an enrollment error that will prevent you from enrolling in that course. If you have completed coursework at your home institution that you believe fulfills the prerequisite for a summer course here at UCR, please contact the academic department's contact to get permission to enroll. At a minimum, you will need to provide your UCR student ID number and the name(s) of the class(es) you are interested in enrolling in. Please keep in mind that the department may also request an official or unofficial transcript.

Enroll on R'Web
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, 2020. 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 2, 2020 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:
- Go to R'Web.
- Enter your NetID and password.
- Under the Self-Service section, click on the Registration icon.
- Select Register for Classes.
- Under Terms Open for Registration, select Summer 2020 (available March 2, 2020).
- 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 2020 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.
Keep in mind...
You will need to add all linked sections, such as lectures, discussions, labs, etc., at the same time to complete your registration successfully; otherwise, an error will occur.
If you get an error, you will not be able to enroll in the course until you resolve that error. For example, if you get a message that says the courses you have attempted to enroll in are in time conflict, you will need to adjust your schedule so that your courses 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:
- UCR students: contact your academic advisor for more information
- Visiting students: please be sure to check that you have followed the appropriate steps to clear prerequisites.
-
I know the CRN's for the courses I want to enroll in.
- Click on 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 +Add Another CRN. After you have finished entering the CRNs, select Add to Summary.
- The Summary section should now list your courses. Verify that these are the courses you intended to add. Please note that you are not registered 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. If the status now says Registered, you have successfully enrolled.
