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:
- Select the campus for which you are interested in applying.
- Locate your status (e.g. Junior Transfer).
- 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.
- If the UC campus you are interested in says OPEN, read any special notices in the box for your status.
- 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.
- 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.
