Anonymous asked: How do you send mass e-mails to people in the same course as yours using rmail?
You would go through the iLearn site. Log in, click on the class you’re trying to contact then click on “Student Tools” on the left navigation bar. You should see an option for sending an email on that page.

Anonymous asked: I missed the date for the analytical writing placement exam for CHASS for religious reasons, and like I called the UC office that administers these tests and they told me call CHASS, and CHASS said I'm talking to the wrong department for it and didn't help me and I don't know who to call or what to do to make a reappointment and I am strongly considering changing to a Bio major (currently creative writing) so do I even need to take it? I'm just freaking out man idk what to do.
Don’t worry, we’ll figure this out. There are five make-up dates in June; click here to check them out. Which UC office did you call? For the writing placement exam you would need to call UCR’s Academic Resource Center. Their phone number is (951) 827-1384. If you didn’t already meet the entry level writing requirement (here’s how), you’ll need to take the exam regardless of your major.

Anonymous asked: What is your most favorite thing about THE University of California, Riverside?
Good question. It’s really hard to pin-point my favorite thing about UCR to just one thing. I’d say my favorite thing has to be how nice, diverse and down-to-earth most of the student population can be (A close second is the Eaton Science Fiction collection).
I’ve decided to ask a few other students in our office so you’d get more than my perspective.
Rebecca (Third year, Creative Writing/Wizardry): ”I love how easy it is to get involved on campus. Also, Coffee Bean’s late-night hours. Midnight lattes are the best lattes.“
Brigitte (First year, Sociology): “My favorite thing about UCR is all the diversity and the Wednesday Nooners by the Bell Tower. They help me find ways to become more involved on campus!”
Daniel (First year, Chemical Engineering): “The heat, and the opportunities available to me on and off campus, in terms of research and job opportunities.”

Yay! Congrats and welcome to the UCR Family! :)
Here are some really quick tips to prepare for the fall.
1. Get excited!
2. Register for orientation.
3. Finish end-of-the-school-year courses with amazing grades.
4. Send all your transcripts/AP scores/documents by July 15th.
5a. If you’re a commuter, check out all the hot spots on your way to campus and look into the Commuter Programs.
5b. If you’re living on-campus, fill out the housing application and get ready to decorate your dorm!
6. If you haven’t visited the campus, come on down to take a tour. Or take a virtual tour online.
7. Check out the Class of 2017 Facebook page and meet fellow Highlanders!
8. Start looking over your Degree check on GROWL to review your major requirements. Also, review breadth requirements for your specific college whether, CNAS, CHASS, BCOE or SOBA.
9. Tag your journey with #UCR on Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram.
10. Continue checking your MyUCR and R’web to stay on top of other deadlines like forms for the Health Center and current events.
