Congratulations on being accepted into the Chemistry Graduate Program at the University of California, Irvine!

We are delighted that you are planning to visit with us. Due to the recent public health developments concerning COVID-19, UCI Chemistry will be shifting its February 25 and March 4 visits to a virtual format. The March 11 visit will remain virtual, and there will be an additional virtual visit on Thursday, February 24.

Virtual Visit Format

This year, our recruitment visits will be conducted virtually, with one large group day open to all admitted applicants, and three smaller "visits" for virtual meetings with faculty and graduate students. Prospective students can attend either the large group visit, one of the smaller meeting days, or both. An itinerary for both types of visits can be found below.

For the smaller meeting days, only a limited number of students can be accommodated. Thus, meetings will be scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Only available dates will be displayed on the UCI Chemistry Recruitment RSVP Form. Please follow the instructions below to set up your visit.
