University of California (UC)-  Reporting academic changes

For freshman applicants, if there are changes to the students' academic record after they submit their application, such as changing schools, adding/dropping courses or earning a grade lower than a C, they might need to notify the campuses to which they’ve applied. Keep in mind, UC cannot guarantee that a campus can go back to review an application after correspondence has been received. Campus instructions and websites for reporting changes:

  • Berkeley will not accept post-submission updates. Any updates that are sent will not be considered in the application reading process.
  • Davis
  • Irvine
  • Merced — Post-submission updates are only accepted if the student is admitted. They can click on the “myCourseUpdate” link in their connect portal
  • UCLA
  • Riverside
  • San Diego
  • Santa Barbara will not accept post-submission updates. Any updates that are sent to their office will not be considered in the application reading process.
  • Santa Cruz

Transfer applicants will submit academic updates in the Transfer Academic Update (TAU). See further details about the TAU below. If the student receives an offer of admission, they should confirm with the campus admission office that the campus is aware of any deficient grades or schedule changes. Requesting a change of major

Each campus has specific instructions if an applicant wishes to change their intended major after submitting a UC application. See campus instructions for major change requests. Canceling/withdrawing a UC application

Each campus has specific instructions for their individual process if an applicant wishes to cancel or withdraw their application from further consideration. This only applies to students canceling or withdrawing prior to admission. See campus instructions for canceling/withdrawing a UC application.
