For freshmen

• changes to planned coursework in "a–g" courses for senior year
• unsatisfactory grades such as a D or F received during senior year of high school
• senior year weighted GPA falling below 3.0

During December, send changes to the UC Application Center – details on the UC website.

After January 1, use the Freshman Academic Update form.

For transfer students

Transfer applicants are required to update grades and course records:

• provide your final grades from the previous term
• list all courses in progress or planned for the term before you expect to enroll

Between January 9 and January 31, you can use the UC Transfer Application Academic Update form.

After February 1, notify UC San Diego of any changes to courses reported on your application as planned or in progress with this Transfer Academic Update form.

What documents should I send now?

Nothing! You're done!
Now that you've submitted your UC application, we have everything necessary for evaluation.

In fact, it's important to not send additional documentation. Why?

• Reason #1 – It won't help your application.
• Actually, that's the only reason. If you send transcripts, letters of recommendation, 6th or 7th semester grades, or any other supplemental documents, they're just not part of what we review.
• So, don't waste your time or your school's time, and save paper and postage!
• What do we review?
• Check the evaluation process for freshmen applicants and the UC guidelines for transfer applicants.
