Make sure to check if the university is accepting applications for the term in which you are interested by following the steps below:

To see if your UC campus is accepting applications, go to UC Open/Closed Majors and follow these steps:

1. Select the campus for which you are interested in applying.
2. Locate your status (e.g. Junior Transfer).
3. If the UC campus you are interested in says CLOSED, that means they are no longer accepting applications for the term you'd like to apply.
4. If the UC campus you are interested in says OPEN, read any special notices in the box for your status.
5. For each UC campus, note and verify the deadline to apply and whether an online or paper application is requested. This information is usually at the top of the page.
6. When you are ready, go to the Open/Closed Majors to see if your UC campus is accepting applications.

To apply online, go to the UC Online Application.

To file a paper application, go to the UC Paper Application. Note: Your paper application should be single-sided pages and must postmark by the deadline.
