UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS APPLICATION GUIDE TRANSFER
Submitting the application
You're
eligible for a fee waiver if:
• You are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident or you
attended a CA high school for at least 3 years; AND,
• You meet the low-income criteria.
If you are on a non-immigrant visa, you are not eligible
for the UC application fee waiver even if you attended a
school in California.
A UC application fee waiver is good for up to 4 campus
choices; you will be responsible for payment for any ad-
ditional campuses you choose to apply to.
• If you have a non-UC fee waiver or UC/CCC EOPS fee
waiver, you should select “Pay by check” and mail in the
fee waiver to the UC Application Center. Only one fee
waiver for up to 4 campus choices may be used.
• If you qualify for a fee waiver, you must select “Yes” to
accept it.
• If you make a mistake on the family income amount, you
can correct the information by clicking “Recalculate fee
waiver”; eligibility for the fee waiver will automatically
recalculate with the revised information.
Submission conrmation
After you’ve paid or selected your payment method (by
credit card or by check/mail), you will see a conrmation
page indicating your application has been submitted.
• If you chose to pay by check, you will see instructions on
how to mail in your payment.
• UC Application ID Number: This will appear on the page.
We strongly encourage you to write down or keep a
copy of you Application ID number. This number is used
throughout the admission process to access the various
campus student portals and, in many cases, to access
your admission decisions.
• Print receipt & application: you can choose to print a
receipt of your application fees or view and print the
entire application.
• There are also reminders about what you should do after
you submit your application, as well as instructions for
making changes to an already submitted application.
• Reminder: Information in the application is subject
to verication. If you’re selected for verication, not
responding to the request will result in a cancellation
of your application, and the application fee will not be
refunded. The verication process occurs in January
and is communicated by email; you should check your
email regularly.
Campus portals (separate from the application)
• By January, each campus you applied to will email you
to create a login username and password for access
to the campus’ applicant portal. This is the site where
the admission decision will be posted along with other
important information.
• You should check each campus’ applicant
portal frequently.
