Irvine and the campus resources available to you. You will also interact
with current students and staff and learn about student life at UC
Irvine. SPOP dates are shown below. If you attend a SPOP, CHP (Campuswide Honors Program) Advising, or
Summer Bridge Program, you will receive academic counseling as part of
program activities. SPOP sessions will fill quickly
