Explore UCR's Student organizations with SOLAR Online!
SOLAR Online is our searchable database of all of our 300+ student organizations and is a great first-place to search when looking for groups to join.
Current students (Non-Extension), can log in to SOLAR and see everything that these groups have to offer. It’s a fun and interactive space, so feel free to get information and correspond with these groups via the “I’m Interested!” option, where you can express interest in specific organizations.
Non-students (including advisors and guests) can log in to Solar to view our public list. This still enables you to search the database and get contact information for our groups, but doesn’t list everything that the full system would.
Staff members with Manager access can log in to navigate SOLAR.
