UC Irvine Parent & Family Engagement

Welcome to the Anteater Family!

We believe a well-informed family is essential to student success, which is why we’ve created a family community to share helpful resources supporting your Anteater’s time at UC Irvine. This site will also give you access to our monthly newsletter, upcoming events, information and much more.

Message from the Team

Welcome to our vibrant Anteater community, where curiosity thrives, and opportunities abound. We understand that as parents, your involvement and support are invaluable to your student’s success, and we are here to ensure that you feel welcomed, supported and informed every step of the way.

Just like our beloved mascot, Peter, we’re eager to explore every moment of the Anteater experience with you. From thrilling sports events to engaging academic programs and everything in between, there’s something for everyone to enjoy and be proud of at UC Irvine.

Our team is here to support you in any way we can, whether it’s sharing resources, answering questions, or simply offering a friendly “Zot” of encouragement. Together, let’s make the most out of this incredible journey and create unforgettable memories as part of the Anteater family.

We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you and your family will accomplish here at UC Irvine. Welcome home, Anteater parents!
