2021 ISPOP Online Advising Steps
Initial ISPOP Email-for current Physical Sciences Majors
Title: U.C.I. - Academic Hold/Online Academic Advising
***IMPORTANT***
Dear Physical Sciences Student,
You are receiving this email because you are a new International Freshman approved to start Online Academic Advising. We would like to get you enrolled into classes as soon as possible via Online Academic Advising.
An academic hold has been placed on your record by the School of Physical Sciences. This hold will not be removed until you have successfully completed Physical Sciences Online Academic Advising. Online Academic Advising requires that you complete a total of 5 steps which can take about one week to complete. Once you have completed all steps, your hold will be removed and you will be eligible to enroll in fall quarter classes.
Follow the instructions at this link to begin Online Academic Advising: https://ps.uci.edu/stuaff/content/2021-PSint-advising
As a reminder, Fall quarter tuition is due no later than September 15th.
Be sure to pay your fall quarter fees before this day. Tuition payments can be made through your ZotAccount at the link provided: https://zotaccount.uci.edu/
If you no longer plan to attend UCI, please let us know and we will remove you from future emails.
Again, please follow all steps outlined in the link above for Online Academic Advising.
