Although applications have long been submitted and admissions evaluations are well under way at all UC campuses, there are still a few important updates and reminders for fall 2001 applicants.

Academic Program Changes

If there are any changes to the information provided on the self-reported academic record following submission of the application — including changes to coursework listed as in progress or planned — students must notify the Admissions Office at each campus to which they applied in writing.

Adding a Campus

Students who wish to apply to additional University of California campuses after submitting their applications must mail a written request to the UC Application Processing Service. Contact the Processing Service by regular mail at P.O. Box 23460, Oakland, CA 94623-0460 or by e-mail at ucapp@ucop.edu. Students must include their application ID number and social security number, along with the new campus name(s) and major(s) to which they wish to apply and a check or money order for $40 for each additional campus selected (payable to The Regents of the University of California). Requests will be honored only if the campuses chosen still have space available. Information about campuses accepting applications after the close of the filing period is available online.

Moving/Changing Schools

Students who enroll in another school or college after submitting the application must notify the Admissions Office at each campus to which they applied in writing. Students must include the institution's name and a description of the courses they are taking and plan to take.

Address Change

If a student's address or telephone number changes after filing an application, he or she must notify the UC Undergraduate Application Processing Service of the changes in writing (see address above).

Keep Up the Good Work

High school seniors are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of academic achievement during the remainder of their senior year. Offers of admission are provisional and contingent upon students completing in good standing the work indicated as planned for the spring 2001 term. Work not completed or completed with low grades could result in revocation of the offer of admission.

Financial Aid Application Deadline

Students who think they will need financial assistance to attend the University are encouraged to complete the financial aid application process by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and, if they are California residents, the GPA Verification Form. The forms must be submitted by March 2, 2001, the application deadline for University financial aid and for the state's Cal Grant program. (Transfer students currently receiving a Cal Grant or with a Community College Reserve Cal Grant do not need to file the GPA Verification Form.)

For additional information on the restructured Cal Grant program, see the California Student Aid Commission Web site.

Missing the March 2 deadline will jeopardize the amount of grant aid students receive, which means they will have to borrow substantially more or earn more by working to meet their expenses.

Notification of Admission

Fall term freshman applicants who filed on time during November 2000 will be notified whether they have been admitted between March 1 and March 31, 2001. Transfer applicants will be notified between March 1 and May 1, 2001.
