Welcome Highlanders!

Congratulations on becoming part of our Highlander family!  As an incoming CNAS student, you will learn more about your major and will register for your fall classes during the virtual Advising & Registration Session that is part of your Highlander Orientation for Freshmen (HOF) Session.  Please review the tutorial videos below that pertain to your major prior to attending your HOF Session to help you better prepare for your Advising & Registration Session.  

First-year incoming students: we ask that you complete your mathematics placement exam and your English placement exam by July 1 in order to  be able to enroll in your fall classes during HOF.

Please be sure to check your UCR email account for the CNAS Advising Preparation email that we will send to you the week prior to your HOF session for more details on how to prepare for your Advising & Registration Session.
