Be a CHP Stay Over Host! – Apply by March 14

Be a CHP Stay Over Host! – Apply by March 14

To host, you must live on campus in either Mesa Court, Middle Earth, or Arroyo Vista. Not restricted to residents of the CHP halls, but you must be a current CHP student.

The Stay-Over Program (SOP) at UC Irvine offers prospective students the chance to experience what college life is really like by sharing a typical day with a UCI student. Guests are paired with SOP hosts of the same gender according to major and interests indicated on the application.

We will sponsor two Stay-Over dates specifically for prospective CHP students on April 3rd and 10th (first two Thursdays of spring quarter). As a CHP host, you will guide these prospective students around UCI, take them to your classes, and introduce them to the CHP. Your willingness to share your experiences about UCI and the CHP is what makes this program a success!

To participate as a host, you need to fill out an application and return it to the CHP Office by Friday, March 14. You can volunteer to host for one or both dates. Applications are now available in the Honors Office, online, or from a CHP HA or RA. There will be activities going on in either AV or one of the honors freshmen halls both stay-over nights in case you’re worried about what to do with your guest. We don’t expect you to entertain them by yourself the entire time! 

All Hosts get a FREE T-shirt and meal passes to eat in the commons with their guest.

Please submit your completed form to the Honors Office.
