Welcome to UC Irvine!

You are about to begin an exciting adventure which we hope will be filled with growth, enlightenment, laughter, discovery and new friends.

To help you succeed on this journey, we have provided the New Student Handbook with tips and important information to make sure your time at UCI starts off smoothly. As an Anteater, you are required to know and observe university deadlines and procedures, many of which we have included here. Also, you are perpetually surrounded by faculty, staff and fellow students who are happy to help you, so feel free to ask.

Again, welcome to UCI. We are excited that you have decided to join us.
