Thank you for registering for the 2025 Zero-to-Entrepreneur Course. UCR Extension will be contacting you within 1 business week to complete the application process. You will be receiving an email confirmation when you have been successfully enrolled.

Once you have received the email, the next step to join the certificate program is to complete your registration with UCR Extension using the following steps:

Complete the Certificate Program Application on the UCR Extension Website

• Submit the University Extension application on the UCR Extension platform here. Please click the blue “Apply Now” button on the right-hand side of the page.
• The system will prompt you to log in with an existing account or create a new one. If you are not a UCR student, you must create a new account. Under “I am a new user,” please enter your email address and start a new application.
• You will be prompted to fill out your information. Once complete, you will be forwarded to the “My Applications” page.
• At the top, you will see the title of your enrolled course with a blue “START” button to the right. You will be shown a page that says “Pages: To Do” along with several listed items for you to complete. Fill out these items until the status shows “Complete".”

Set up Your UCR NetID

After you have received your enrollment confirmation from UCR Extension, you will receive an email from register@ucx.ucr.edu with the subject line “Setting Up Your UCR NetID”. This email contains the temporary username and password you will need to setup your UCR NetID.

For instructions on how to set up your UCR NetID, please click here (existing UCR staff, faculty or students will need to link your existing NetID to UCR Extension - scroll down to “For Existing Users” for instructions).
