Admission Preparation Program (APP)
PREPARATION, ACCULTURATION, SUCCESS The Admission Preparation Program is designed for students who wish to pursue undergraduate study at the prestigious University of California, Riverside (UCR) or other top-ranked universities in the USA.* APP is for qualified high school graduates who meet the academic requirements for UCR (3.4 GPA in specific courses), but who may not have the SAT or TOEFL score required for direct entry into UCR. Students with a minimum 3.0 GPA may be admitted to APP to pursue admission to American Universities, but will not be eligible to apply to UCR.
APP allows students to take up to 30 credits of UCR undergraduate courses over one academic year. Credits are fully transferable to UCR and other US higher education institutions. If students do not meet the minimum language requirements for the APP program, they can enroll in the APP-Essentials (APP-E) program which immerses students in the Intensive English Program (see pages 4) until they become eligible for APP.
The APP program is a 9-month/3-quarter program that allows students to improve their academic English language skills, gain critical college-preparatory skills, learn about university methods and expectations, and experience life in a vibrant, diverse university community.
ADMISSION TO APP IS BASED ON UCR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION CRITERIA. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT UCR_APP@UCX.UCR.EDU.
