The University of California, Riverside (UCR) operates on a quarterly system with intakes in Fall, Winter, and Spring. The primary intake is Fall, beginning in September, with an application deadline typically around November 30 of the prior year. Winter and Spring intakes have limited programs and earlier deadlines, often by July 31 and October 31, respectively.
Prospective students should verify deadlines on UCR’s official website, as dates may vary by program. Transfer and international students may have additional requirements. Early preparation is advised to meet submission timelines for transcripts, test scores, and supplemental materials.
