Our mission is to inform interested UC Riverside students of the ROTC opportunities that are available to them in cooperation with nearby universities.

Although UCR does not have a Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program, students may, with the permission of the dean of their college, enroll in ROTC courses at another institution while completing their degree programs at UCR. Students interested in Air Force ROTC should contact the UCR Undergraduate Admissions Office at (951) 827-3411 regarding concurrent enrollment procedures. Those interested in Army ROTC should contact the Office of the Registrar at (951) 827-3409 for information on cross registration.  Descriptive pamphlets summarizing the programs are available at the UCR Career Center. Representatives from the participating ROTC programs also make regular visits to UCR to provide information to prospective students.
