University of California Applications
UC application on-line (For all UC campuses)
Be sure to have your transcript, test scores, and list of University of California approved courses handy when you fill out your application. Use this list to determine which course you should report on your application. List only courses which have a “P” next to them on your transcript. If you received a grade of “D” or “F” and then retook the course, you MUST list the course twice, including both grades. However, the UC’s will only count the higher grade when calculating your GPA.
Course names should reflect your transcript and the list of courses. You can save your application with a password and return to it at a later date. Make sure that you ask your College Advisor to review your application and essay before you press send!
The prompts for the UC application can be found at UC_Personal_Insight.
This application opens in August, and must be filed between November 1 and November 30
