Hello All SSHA Graduate Students,



We hope you all are having a great summer!

If you experience any registration errors, please contact your SSHA Graduate Services Coordinator with a screenshot of the error message.



To request independent study courses, submit the electronic independent study request form <https://registrar.ucmerced.edu/forms> on the Office of the Registrar's website.
