UROP offers all undergraduates the opportunity to volunteer and contribute to the success of the program. Students can be involved in a variety of support activities for the program including publicity, research, office support, outreach, and Symposium preparation.

Eligible students may receive 1.3 units of credit through a University Affairs course for their involvement with UROP. The course requires 30 documented hours and a research paper. Students who participate will gain invaluable experience in a dynamic and growing area of undergraduate education.

To be a volunteer, fill out the Volunteer Application (MS Word document) and either drop it off at the UROP Office or send it as an attachment to urop@uci.edu.
