Admission & Registration
Admission to the Summer Sessions at UCR
The Summer Sessions admission process is separate and distinct from regular admission to UCR and does not guarantee regular admission.
If you are not a "continuing" student at UCR, you will need to complete an application form (PDF). Upon admittance, you will receive an e-mail notification which will include your Student Identification Number (SID) and your PERMPIN number, which allow you to access GROWL, our online registration system, where you can enroll into the courses of your choice, view your charges and make online payments.
Students who have not yet graduated from high school must apply through the Summer Academy for Advanced High School Students.
