Due to COVID-19, all student appointments will be done virtually.
Welcome!
Welcome to the Graduate School of Education’s undergraduate advising center. As you navigate your undergraduate studies, our academic advisors are here to answer questions you may have about university policy and procedures, provide academic advice, and help you achieve your career goals.
We encourage you to review the resources we’ve compiled on this page. Information includes community learning & fieldwork, enrollment deadlines, important forms, processes, and procedures. In addition to academic advising services, our office houses the GSOE student lounge -- a welcoming place within the GSOE home to study, relax, and reset for the next activity in a student’s day. Go Highlanders!

Education Minor
Quarterly Course Schedule
If you are interested in a change of major or declaring a double major please schedule a one-on-one appointment with us by the end of your Junior year.
To declare a minor in education students must be in “Good” academic standing. We also encourage students to complete an education course with a passing grade by the end of their junior year. Students outside of the Education, Society, and Human Development major are advised to speak with your current major advisors for any additional requirements.
Good Academic Standing
To remain in good academic standing, a student must maintain a GPA of at least 2.00 and make progress toward the degree at a satisfactory rate.
Academic Probation
Students are placed on academic probation if, at the end of any term, their GPA for the term is less than 2.00 or their cumulative GPA, computed on the total of all courses undertaken in the university, is less than 2.00 (“C” average).
Academic Disqualification
Students are subject to disqualification from further registration in the university a) if, at the end of any term, their GPA for that term is less than 1.50 or b) if, after two terms on academic probation, their cumulative GPA, computed on the total of all courses undertaken in the university, is less than 2.00 (“C” average).
The Graduate School of Education requires undergraduate Education, Society, and Human Development (ESHD) majors to complete 40 hours of Community Learning as a critical component of the degree requirement. The goal of Community Learning is to enrich and extend the UCR coursework experience with applied, real-world learning in service to concerns identified by the community.
A student can complete the 40 hours of Community Learning through the following options:
- Research with faculty;
- Service learning tied to preparation in a specific course;
- Community engagement in direct service to learners in educational programs broadly conceived—i.e., local schools, nonprofit organizations, or government agencies.
The Graduate School of Education has several community partners where students can engage in their 40 hours of community learning. Learn more about how to utilize these partnerships by contacting: gsoelearningcoord@ucr.edu. It is suggested that students complete this requirement prior to their final year at UCR when possible.
Below is information regarding scholarships and funding opportunities available for current undergraduate students.
