Apply to UC

Any of UC's nine undergraduate campuses can provide you with wide-ranging educational opportunities. To make it easy for you to apply to more than one campus, we have a single application.

The University prefers that applicants use the online application for admission. It helps you file a more accurate and complete application by using error messages to highlight common mistakes and missing information before you file. Privacy guards help ensure your information stays secure.

If you do not have easy online access, you may download a printable application form.

If you want a copy of the application mailed to you, e-mail your request to ucinfo@ucapplication.net. Include the following information:

• Your name and address
• The term for which you’re applying (fall 2008, winter 2009 or spring 2009)
• Whether you are a freshman or transfer applicant

Keep in mind that not every student can be admitted to his or her first-choice campus. Applying to more than one campus can significantly increase your chances of being admitted to a campus that, while not your first choice, will enable you to fulfill your educational goals.

Apply Once

Submit only one application per term and indicate all campus choices on it. Submitting multiple applications will result in a serious processing delay.

Please note: Not all campuses or programs are open for winter and/or spring terms. Please check open/closed majors before applying.

Applications must be submitted online or postmarked by the last day of the appropriate filing period. Most campuses do not accept applications after the filing period. If you plan to apply after the filing period, check with the campus to see if there are openings before submitting your application.

If you apply after the filing period to a campus that is no longer accepting applications, the UC Undergraduate Application Processing Service will notify you by mail that your application will not be forwarded to the campus. You may receive a full or partial refund of the application fee.

Report Test Scores

If you apply as a freshman for the fall 2008 term, you must take two SAT Subject Tests and the ACT Assessment plus Writing or SAT Reasoning Test no later than December 2007. Direct the testing agencies to report your scores to each UC campus to which you plan to apply. If you apply as a freshman for the winter or spring term, check with the campus admissions office about relevant testing deadlines.
